One Response to File Station: Access, Manage & Share Files On the Web Interface

  1. MW says:

    I am using File Station and I want to share a sub-folder in an existing shared folder. The problem is this: I right click the folder and get the option to Share. I select “Share” and get the option “To NAS user”. I then get a list of NAS users to share with, but only the first 10 users are displayed and I cannot select page 2, 3 or 4 of the user list. It does show that I have 34 users set up, but I can only see the 1st 10. Why?
