#REDIRECT [[Network Shares]]
 
File storage folders are referred to as Network Shares. Network Shares may be accessed via both the '''N'''etwork '''F'''ile '''S'''ystem ('''NFS''') and the '''S'''erver '''M'''essage '''B'''lock protocol ('''SMB''' protocol). A Storage Pool (ZFS or CephFS) must be created before Network Shares may be provisioned.
 
=== Step 1 (Optional): Configure Active Directory ===
 
Each storage system may optionally be joined to an active directory (AD) domain to provide SMB access to AD users and AD groups.

=== Step 2: Create Network Share ===
Create a network share in a storage pool to provide users with storage via the CIFS/SMB and NFS protocols.
This step works with Microsoft Active Directory to assign network shares to users and groups. Set up Active Directory using the [[Active Directory Configuration| Setup Active Directory]] button in Workflow Manager, or click on the button ''Configure Active Directory'' in the toolbar under "Network Share" in "Storage Management".

For more information, refer to the [[Active Directory Configuration]] page.
 
=== Step 3: Add NFS Access ===
Creates additional client access for the network share. Click on the [[Add NFS Client Access]] button in Workflow Manager, or right-click on the target network share under "Network Share" and click "Add NFS Access".

For more information, refer to the [[Add NFS Client Access]] page.
 
===  Step 4: Modify Network Share  ===
Lets you control the network share's settings such as compression, quotas, and sync policies. Click on the [[Modify Network Share]] button in Workflow Manager, or the ''Modify'' button under "Network Share".
Network share can be modified to assign access to specific users and tune the share for a specific workload by adjusting the record size and compression mode.
For more information, refer to the [[Modify Network Share]] page.
