Remove a Shared Folder
If you are admin or a user belonging to the administrators group, you can remove any shared folder created by
yourself.
To remove a shared folder:
1 Select the shared folder you want to remove from the shared folder list.
2 Click Delete, and tick the checkbox on the dialogue prompt for confirmation.
3 Click OK.
Important: Removing any shared folder also removes all data within it. If you still need the data, back them up first.
Allow Users or Groups to Access Shared Folders
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > Shared Folder to allow or deny users' or groups' access to the shared
folders.
To allow users or groups to access a shared folder:
1 Select the shared folder you want to edit from the shared folders list, and click Privileges Setup to open the
settings window.
2 Click the Privilege Setup tab, and select any of the following from the drop-down menu:
System Internal user: Anonymous FTP user. Before allowing anonymous FTP users to connect to a
shared folder, you need to allow their access to the folder first. For more information about anonymous FTP,

Local users: Synology DiskStation users (including guest). See "Manage Users and Groups" on Page 71
for more information.
