ReadyNAS does not show the one particular shared folders on the ReadyNAS shares
Hello, ReadyNAS does not show the one perticular shared folders on the ReadyNAS shares, But Users can access this folder by SMB, User using shared folder in Windows machine Kindly help why shr...
It likely is a private folder - associated with a specific NAS user account (including possibly admin). If that's the case, you can disable access by turning off all file sharing protocols for "home" in the share list.
If you are accessing the NAS using SMB with admin credentials, then it could also be the full data volume.
Hi,
We have disable & enable all protocols on Homes but still not showing folder on shares, we have sufficiant sapce on NAS,
Shared folder only access by users account we tried to open by admin account but not abale to open.
You can't open the user xyz private home folder by using the admin account. Only the user xyz is able to see and access the xyz folder. In case the xyz folder does not exist, the folder is created when the user does access the NAS for the first time.

Private folders won't show up in the Web UI share list, not matter what you do.
With admin credentials you can see the folder in SMB by browsing into \data\home.
If you need to see the share in the share list, then you want to
- Disable file sharing for home, so no private shares are accessible by anyone.
- Create a public share (not using the user' name), and set up the access controls as desired.
