5. The operating system used by the user determines which option you should choose -
Windows/OS X user (CIFS) or Linux/Mac user (NFS).
Note: Linux and Mac users access shared folders using NFS. In this
environment, access to shared folders is given to entire computers, not to
individual users of those computers. However, in Windows and OS X
environments, each computer user can have individual access to a shared
folder.
6. Return to step 5 of the previous section (To add a new shared folder) and follow the
remaining steps to make changes to the selected shared folder.
To delete an existing shared folder:
Once you have created a shared folder, you can delete it at any time. When you delete a
shared folder, any users who are currently accessing it are immediately disconnected from it.
Warning: Deleting a shared folder deletes all the subfolders and files in that
shared folder. If you want to delete only selected subfolders or files, access the
shared folder and delete the desired items.
To delete a shared folder:
1. In the Shared folders list, select the shared folder that you want to delete.
2. Click “Delete”.
3. When prompted to confirm the deletion, click “Yes”.
The shared folder no longer appears in the Shared folders list, and all associated subfolders
and files are deleted.
