information and office files. The administrator knows that enabling UPnP/DLNA on all shares can tax the
processor and slow down Re-Indexing the media. Therefore, the administrator disables UPnP/DLNA on all
shares except Entertainment.
The administrator can enable or disable services on specific shares on the Services page or the Shares page.
For details on managing services on the Shares page, see

Services summary
Review the types of services below.
File services
SMB: SMB (server message block) is enabled by default since it is native to Windows and supported on
Mac OS.
NRB: Deleting data on a share permanently removes all associated files. By enabling the NRB (network
recycle bin) service, deleted files will be moved to the share's recycle bin. This can be very helpful if a
user accidentally removes data that a co-worker is using on a project. The data is easily recovered from
the recycle bin rather than desperately searching through the last NAS backup. NRB is only compatible
with shares that use SMB and it appears as a folder on the share.
AFP: AFP can be started manually for computers running Mac OS. AFP must be started if the Time
Machine service will be enabled.
NFS: See NFS.
FTP/SFTP: See FTP.
WebDAV: WebDAV (Web-based distributed authoring and versioning) is a standard format for
collaborative workflows and data sharing. You can give local and remote servers access to shares by
enabling the WebDAV service on your NAS OS device.
