Index Files

Indexing the contents of a shared folder can help you find files or folders more quickly during file search.

To index files in a shared folder:

  1. Select the shared folder you want to index.
  2. Click Edit and then click the File Indexing tab.
  3. Tick Enable file indexing.
  4. Click OK.

Re-index Files

Re-indexing files are not required under normal circumstances. However, if files in a folder match search criterion but somehow appear missing during file search, you may need to perform re-index to re-construct the index structure of the files.

To re-index files in a shared folder:

  1. Select the shared folder you want to re-index.
  2. Click Edit and then click the File Indexing tab.
  3. Click Re-index.
  4. When the process is finished, the system will display how many files and sub-folders have been indexed.

Note: File indexing on remote folders or external USB drives is not supported by File Station.
