Access Restriction Function: This function turns on user/group permissions. Using this function will password protect a folder. For more information, see the next page about using Access Restriction.

If the recycle bin is enabled, then all deleted data will be moved to a folder called . trash. Data will then need to be removed from the trash before it is permanently deleted. In some versions of Windows it may be necessary to set Windows to display all hidden files and folders before the . trash folder is visible. Mac OS 10. 2 or higher is required for Recycle Bin functionality in Mac environments.

Here you can specify who may access the new shared folder. Select which groups and which users will have access to the new shared folder.

Press the Apply button when you're finished making your selections. Security Settings Groups allow for quicker security administration.
