Transform simple folder to shared folder

[AlanAnakin]

Is possible to convert a simple folder (under a shared folder) to a shared folder? i mean... a simple way to transform a lot of simple folders to a shared folders?

Shared folders need to be created in the DSM UI.  It takes just a few seconds to create each one.  It's pretty simple.

 

Is the issue that copying the files to the new shared folders takes time?  Because that can be done from the shell very quickly (Linux mv command).

Sub folders created under a shared folder are automatically shared. Not sure what you want to achieve here.

I need a way to convert a sub folder to a shared folder. it's because i prefer to have all my folders like shared folder

@AlanAnakin If your "parentfolder" is shared, so should all the subfolders under it be as well.

Can you post a screendump, pinpointing your "problem'" ? (it *could* be related to user permissions)

If you use network drives (T:, X:, Z:, whatever) you can assign subfolders to each network drive. 

 

Example: add network drive -> select path \\yournas\sharename\subfolder -> assign drive letter. 

 

Or you can use the QuickLink Menu for lnk to the path.
