Managing Shares

To add a share, click 📁 Manage Shares on the server:

manage shares

The Name field is the name to give to the share. This is the name other users will see when browsing your shares.

The Local Path field is where on your computer the folder is located. It must be the absolute path to the folder, like C:\Users\YourUsername\Music (on Windows), /Users/YourUsername/Music (on Mac), or /home/YourUsername/Music (on Linux).

The Follow symbolic links? field determines whether the share will allow symbolic links. If you do not know what that is, keeping it checked is the best option. If unchecked, symbolic links will be excluded and treated as if they do not exist. This is the safest option if you know you have symbolic links that could lead to folders you do not want shared.

Once you have added the share, any user will be able to able to browse it until you remove it. These shares only apply to this server; you will need to configure shares separately for other servers you are connected to.

To confirm that you have added the share, click 📂 Browse on yourself under the server.
