Notes:
• Names may contain up to 27 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Multibyte characters are
supported. The first character should not be a symbol.
• When you click the Option 1 tab, you can enter the folder description. Descriptions may contain up to 75
alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Multibyte characters are supported. The first
character should not be a space.
• You may create up to 400 shared folders.
• If the names of shared folders accessed via AFP and FTP connections contain multibyte characters, configure
the client language in Management> Name/Time/Language to match the characters. If the setting and display
language do not match, the shared folder name will not be displayed correctly.
• The following characters are handled differently by macOS and Windows devices. Avoid using these characters
when sharing data between macOS and Windows devices:
― ~ ∥ - ¢ £ ¬
• Windows does not support some characters that macOS and the TeraStation allow. If you create a filename on a
macOS device that includes any of the following symbols, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer.
You may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy files that contain these symbols in
their filenames.
? ] [ / \ = + > < ; : " , | *
• Do not use any of the following words for the name of a shared folder as these words are reserved for internal
use by the TeraStation: authtest, global, homes, info, lost+found, lp, msdfs_root, mt-daapd, printers, ram, spool,
usbdisk x (where “x” is a number, for example: usbdisk1)
