RN202 - DEFAULT SHARES???

Okay, so this is probably a silly question. I am an old ReadyNAS Duo user and just configured my RN200 now 6.3.4

Q: What are these default shares and "special" folder for? I am sure there are good intentions, it is just not documented anywhere. Are these built for certain apps or what?

Shares:
Documents
Music
Pictures
Videos

"Special Folder"
Home Folders

Thanks for any help!

    Some services by default may be configured to use these default shares but you can delete these shares and create the ones you prefer if you wish. It is up to you.

    The home folders can be disabled if you don't wish to use them. A home folder can be accessed by the relevant user and the admin user only.
