Sharing ﬁles using Windows

The NAS drive supports Microsoft Common Internet File System (CIFS), also known as

drive using the popular Samba software. Any PC running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or

Windows Vista can access shared ﬁles on the NAS drive. Once you can view the folder

can with any folder.

example, you can

enter “\\” followed by the NAS drive’s IP address and then press OK.
