Shared Folder Defaults
If you used ReadyCLOUD or the local setup wizard to configure your ReadyNAS storage
system, the following shared folders are created for you:
• Backup
• Documents
• Music
• Pictures
• readydrop
• Videos
If you want, you can delete or rename these shared folders. You can create other shared
folders to organize your data.
File and Folder Names
A shared folder can contain subfolders to help you organize your data files. If all characters in
the file or folder name are alphanumeric, the maximum length of the name is 255 characters.
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, the maximum length of the name might be
83 characters.
File-Sharing Protocols
You can access shared folders over a LAN or WAN network. Network access to data stored
on your ReadyNAS system is managed by file-sharing protocols, which handle the transfer of
data. You can access a shared folder on your ReadyNAS from other network-attached
devices (for example, a laptop or a tablet) if you enable the file-sharing protocol that the
network-attached device uses to access the ReadyNAS. You can enable multiple protocols
for an individual shared folder, allowing users to access the shared folder through various
methods.
