Not sure why the combination of HomeNAS and DriveC is important, it seems to me that you'd get the same behavior with just DriveC as the root.

I make one share and cal it "HomeNAS"
in home nas i have one directory called DriveC, and under i have several directories, like TV, Video, Pictures, Documents Child 1, Cild 2, Wife, etc
Setting permissions is not so good, because i have not found if its possible to give different access to a directory per user, ie TV read only for all, Documents Child 1 R/W.
If anybody know how to do this pleas inform me :-)
But what is nice is that i can mount all NAS in one drive on my PC, i map DriveC to N:, and of course i can mount t: to DriveC/TV and so on, this i do the children's computers like P: mount to DriveC/Child1. I find this better than home directories due to a simpler backup to ie jottacloud.no (they only allow one share - Like my N: drive - to be backed up and this way i backup all data from one share)
If you use admin credentials for the mapped drives you can also mount the NAS C volume directly (mount \\nasip\c)
