ACCESS AND TRANSFER FILES
ABOUT DEFAULT SHARES
d2/2big Default Shares
Your d2 or 2big Network 2 has three shares (similar to folders) by default: Share, Public, and USBShare
(USBShare will be created automatically when you allocate space for USB access; see Dashboard - Drive
Information for details). The following table sums up the differences between them:
Name Accessibility Login Availability
Share
Private, accessible only to
admin by default
Password-protected
When connected to the network (Ethernet) and
to networked computers
Public
Public, accessible to any
user on the network
None
When connected to the network (Ethernet) and
to networked computers or UPnP/DLNA-certified
players/adapters (if multimedia service is
activated)
USBShare
Public (access to
connected external USB
hard drive)
None
When connected to the network (Ethernet) or to
a computer (USB), and through
UPnP/DLNA-certified players/adapters (if
multimedia service is activated)
Thus, when the d2 or 2big Network 2 is connected to the network, all three shares are accessible to the
administrator, and Public and USBShare to guests (USBShare will only be available if you have allocated space
to USB access). On the other hand, when it is connected to a computer via USB, only USBShare will be
accessible.
