Hi,
I'm having a strange issue with hiding folders on my RN102. I have set certain folders to hidden that I dont want visible.
On my linux box if I naviage to smb://nas2.local/ I only get three folders
Music
Pics
Videos
This is great. However if I navigate to the same path on my Windows boxes I have a extra folder
data
Music
Pics
Videos
If I navigate in to the data folder every folder is visible, both hidden and non hidden.
It's similar on the xbox/PS4. If I navigate to the NAS I get three folders to search but if I search by folder the entire contents of the data folder is visible.
Can this be avoided?
Thanks.

This is happening because you are using the NAS admin account to access the NAS. If you create a user account on the NAS, and use it's username/password you won't see the data volume.
