Setting Up the Home Folder and Personal Folders

This function enables the administrator to register folders as personal folders. Each user can only use folders which are created under the Home Folder, a folder the administrator specified, and those folders are named with a login name for a file server.

IMPORTANT
If you set up the home folder on the WebDAV server, folders for all users must be prepared beforehand.

NOTE
When setting up the home folder on the Windows (SMB) shared folder, you do not have to prepare user folders. If a folder named with a login user name is not prepared under the home folder, the folder is created automatically.
