Hide a Shared Folder

This feature is available for SMB only. Hiding a folder prevents users from discovering the folder unless they explicitly specify the folder name in the browse path.

To configure advanced settings for SMB:

1. Login to your ReadyNAS.
2. From the ReadyNAS Admin Page select Shares > Shares.

   A list of shared folders and LUNs on each volume displays.

3. Select the shared folder that you want to configure.
   
4. Select Settings.

   The shared folder settings display in a pop-up screen.

5. On the folder settings pop-up screen, click the Network Access tab.
6. Click the SMB file-sharing protocol button.

   The screen adjusts.

7. Click the Advanced tab on the left side of the pop-up screen.
8. Select the Hide this folder check box.
9. Click the Apply button.
10. Click the OK button.

    Your changes are saved and the pop-up screen closes.
