Network Share Create
The "Create Network Share" feature refers to the process of creating a network-accessible shared folder within a storage pool. The purpose of creating a network share is to provide a convenient way for clients or systems to access and share files over a network.
When you create a network share in QuantaStor, you are essentially creating a network file server resource that can be accessed using standard file sharing protocols such as NFS (Network File System) or CIFS/SMB (Common Internet File System/Server Message Block). This allows clients or systems connected to the network to access the shared folder and perform operations such as reading, writing, and deleting files.
