new user folder not visible in Home folder
i have created two accounts (Theo and the other is Joy) with the same specs, but i only see one in the home folder, whats wrong? OS 6.6.1, windows 10 desktop and ios 10 tablet
I didnt delete or renamed it, i never saw a folder with Admin, but after a restart of the NAS the folder Joy was created
Hello Theo1956,
Try typing \\ followed by the LAN IP of the NAS then add \Joy, this should prompt for a login, user Joy login credentials.
Welcome to the community!
Regards,
Theo1956you seem to be missing a home folder named "admin" which is placed there by the system,
did you rename it Theo or delete it ? Bad idea if you did

While the home folder for admin shows up on my 6.6.0 NASes, it does not on those running 6.6.1. In fact, there isn't even one there when I look via SSH.
Is this a bug, or is this Netgear telling us it's a bad idea to use that directory? If it's intentional, what about those who upgrade to 6.6.1 and that directory isn't empty?
I have an admin user on my legacy Pro 4 running 6.6.1, which was set up by the system
