How to Add Networked Storage Devices

Once you have added a server or Network Attached Storage device (NAS) as a content source, you can use that server or NAS to add any other storage device on the same network.

You could add Direct Attached Storage (DAS), Storage Area Network (SAN), private cloud server, and other NAS or servers on the same network or you can add just a specific individual drive or folder from a networked device.

Note: Assigned users to networked storage devices will need to be set up with credentials for that networked device.

To create a networked content source:

1  Click the Content Management tab

2. Select a content repository that is always on and connected to the internet such as a server or NAS.

3. In the Viewing Panel, navigate to and click the Network icon.

If you only want to add a specific drive or folder, then click on the name of the device, navigate to the drive or folder, then select the check box of the drive or folder to add to the content provider list.

5. Click the right corner menu in the Activity Bar (3 dots)

6. Select Clone with Root Path

Check Device, Click Menu, and Select Clone with Root Path
