File storage folders are referred to as Network Shares. Network Shares may be accessed via both the NFS and the SMB protocols. 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.
