Basic Share Concepts

The volume or volumes on your ReadyNAS storage system are divided into shares, which 
are similar to folders or directories.

Data Organization

Shares are the way that you group your data. You might want to group your data by type, for 
example:

Photos

Music

Videos

Documents

Another option is to group your data by user:

Tom

Rick

Mary

Organizations might choose to group data by department:

Accounting

Sales

Personnel

You can combine these schemes or come up with your own scheme.

Your ReadyNAS storage system comes with two shares already created:

backup

media

If you want, you can delete or rename these shares. You can create other shares to organize 
your data.
