So Im really excited about using the 5n. Seems like its going to make my life much more simple than it was before and that’s what I was shooting for…
There are two items that are frustrating me…now keep in mind Im NEW and I know this is a stupid question but I have to ask.
#1- Is there no way to share and existing folder in DROBO without creating a new share in the drobo app then moving the folder you want to share into that new share you just created?
Let me go further with an example.
When I first received my 5n, I created 5 shares and moved all folders into that share. No issues. Now Im looking at one of my shares called DATA and in there is a user folder called YOLI. I want to share that YOLI folder that is a sub folder in the DATA parent folder without having to create a new share called YOLI in Drobo app and then move all sub folders in the YOLI folder to the newly created share in drobo called YOLI.
#2 - I have Windows server 2012 and have AD set up but do not use it. Can I connect drobo to windows AD so I don’t have to add users into the drobo app and rely on AD to do this?
