Verifying Access to CIFS Share

 
 
1.  To verify access to the CIFS share, navigate to Windows system >Windows Explorer. 
 
2.  Enter the UNC path of the SoftNAS server (or the DNS hostname if you have assigned one to SoftNAS). 
 
3.  Click on the Share icon and verify access permissions are set correctly from the Windows perspective. 
 
4.  Create a folder or text file and then right-click on the file/folder to verify that the Security permissions are as expected.
 
 
The CIFS share that was created is now available and ready for use.
 
Note:  You can also use File Share Defaults to set defaults for all shares so that there is no need to configure settings for each share.
