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.

File-Sharing Protocols
Shares in your ReadyNAS system are accessed over a network. Network access to data stored on your ReadyNAS system is managed by file-sharing protocols, which handle the transfer of data. Your ReadyNAS storage system supports the following file-sharing protocols:
•
SMB (Server Message Block). Used mainly by Microsoft Windows computers and sometimes by Mac OS X computers. This protocol is sometimes referred to as the CIFS
(Common Internet File Service) file-sharing protocol.
•
AFP (Apple File Protocol). Used by Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X computers. Your
ReadyNAS system supports AFP 3.3.
When users access a share, it appears in their computer like a hard disk, and users can interact with it like they interact with a hard disk.
Access Rights
For each share you create, you can determine each user’s access rights for that share. The following table lists access rights options available to you.

Access to this share is read-only for all users except for one or more users who are granted read/write permission.
Access to this share is read/write for all users except for one or more users who are granted read-only permission.
File and Folder Names
A share can contain folders to help you organize your data and files that contain your data.
Ensure that the files stored on your ReadyNAS system use file and folder names with no more than 255 characters if all characters in the file or folder name are alphanumeric. If you use other kinds of characters, the maximum length might be reduced. For example, if a file or folder name uses Kanji or Hanzi characters, maximum file name length might be 83 characters.
