Hide Folders and Files from Users without Permissions

When Hide folders and files from users without permissions is enabled, if a user without read privileges attempts to access a shared folder via Windows File Sharing protocol, the user will not be able to view folders or files within the shared folder. This prevents users from being confused when they connect to the DiskStation, but encounter a large number of files and folders that they cannot open.

To hide folders and files:

  1. Select a shared folder, and then click Edit.
  2. Tick the Hide folders and files from users without permissions checkbox.
  3. Click OK to save settings.
