Overview
You can create folders on a volume and share the contents of those folders across your
network. In order to share a given folder, you must define a network share that includes the
folder. A network share can be defined on the entire volume or on a specific folder in the
volume.
Once you have defined network shares, users can access them using any of the configured file
sharing protocols.
Tip
The following shares are created automatically:
public. A public share with read/write permission for all users.
backup. The default destination for CTERA Agent and Clientless Backups.
users. The default location for storing user home directories. This share is
automatically created when the home directories feature is enabled.
projects. The default location for storing projects. This share is automatically
created when the collaboration feature is enabled.
