Setting up Folder Restriction My Book Live 2tb

Hey everybody,

I have set up my MyBookLive external NAS 2TB drive.  Everything is working fine but I want to get more detailed on my permissions. Right now I have user share access enabled for the Admin and 2 other users.  

However, I am finding the share access limitations kind of useless. The only options I see is that you can either read/write on the drive or just read on the drive.

What happens if you want a certain user to read/write on all folders except one folder or one subfolder?  Is there a way to password protect a file or subfolder for certain users???

Nope…

Such granular “Access Controls” are only features of advanced NAS, not entry level boxes like the WDs.
