Windows 8.1 and Home Folders
Good Afternoon Everyone, hope you can help
Just upgraded from a Stora to this new NAS 104 and first impressions is that this looks so much better. Now setting up the shares for the family I have hit my first problem.
My wife and I now have 8.1 on our laptops and I can access the default shares not a problem, but I cannot see the home folders for users on the NAS. Basically all I want is for my wife and the kids to have their own home folders.
It states in help that on first login these are created, I have the users set up but with 8.1 using Microsoft accounts I cannot see how the users details are passed to the NAS.
Then I want to take this a step further and tighten the security on my music for example so the kids have their own but reasd access only. I see how the user set up in the NAS works but its how windows passes the correct details.
Any help would be really appriciated.
