Create a Share

You can use FrontView to create a share. 

Create a Share with the User or Domain Security Mode

With the user or domain security mode, you can create a share with just a name. 



From the FrontView main menu, select Shares > Add Shares.

You can create up to five new shares at once. For each share, follow these steps:

a. In the Name and Description fields, enter a name and description for the share.

b.  To let anyone access the share by connecting to it as a guest, select Public access. 

Click the Apply button.

The specified shares are created. Anyone on a Mac or Windows PC who has an account 
on the ReadyNAS system can read, write, and create files on the share. If you select 
public access for a share, anyone who connects to that share as a guest can read, write, 
and create files on the share.

Create a Share with the Share Security Mode

With the share security mode, you can create a share with a name, a password, and a limit 
on the amount of data it can contain. The share security mode is available only on some 
versions of ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100 storage systems. This security mode is deprecated 
because it is not supported by Windows 7 or later and Mac OS X v10.6 or later. 



From the FrontView main menu, select Shares > Add Shares.

You can create up to five new shares at once. For each share, follow these steps:

a. in the Name and Description fields, enter a name and description for the share.

b.  To secure your share, enter a password. 

If you leave the Password field blank, any user can access the share without entering 
a password. 

c.  To set a limit on the amount of data that the share can contain, enter a quota.

When the amount of data stored on the share approaches the quota, the ReadyNAS 
system’s administrator receives a warning email message.

If you set quota to zero, no quota is enforced.
