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.

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 Setup Active Directory button in Workflow Manager, or click on the button Configure Active Directory in the toolbar under "Network Share" in "Storage Management".
