How to add, update, and remove an SMB share

Creating an SMB Share:

  1. Navigate to Shares.
  2. Click on the [addition_Icon_lsn7jm][Add Icon] icon under the SMB panel.
  3. Enter SMB settings.
    1. Name - Name the new SMB share.
    2. Quota - Enable if you want a set amount of reserved space for the share.
    3. Recycle - Enable if you want a Recycle Bin that will move deleted files into it, which creates an extra layer of protection for unwanted deletions.
    4. Windows - Enable if you are using a separate Windows workstation to manage the share permissions.
  4. Click [save_dk_hte9hs][Save Icon] to save the settings of the share.

Updating an SMB Share:

Before updating a share ensure that anyone who has the share mounted unmounts.

  1. Navigate to Shares.
  2. Select the share that you want to update.
  3. Update the desired settings.
  4. Click [save_dk_hte9hs][Save Icon] to save the changes.

Deleting an SMB Share:

Before deleting a share ensure that anyone who has the share mounted unmounts. Also deleting a share will delete the corresponding data, so make sure a backup exists if you still wish to have access to the data.

  1. Navigate to Shares
  2. Select the share for deletion.
  3. Select [trash_dk_zou8ii][Trash Icon] and enter the admin password.
  4. Select Yes.

Please note that deleting a share will delete all of the data that exists on this share.
