Child and parent shares in unRAID


Recommended Posts

Would it be possible to have a nice GUI to make child and parent shares in unRAID? I feel that is missing...

 

Instead of having to map a lot of network drives, I can mount a few ones, and then browse down into them.

Instead of having 4 documents shares (one for each person), I can just have 1 share, with some child shares under it.

Then I can set read only on the documents share, and read/write on the child shares.

 

Example:

 

Instead of having:

Documents - Me

Documents - Brother

Documents - Mom

Documents - Dad

Recipts

 

As individual shares, I can istead have all my documents under one network share, then each person as a child share. More like this:

 

Documents

            - Documents - Me

            - Documents - Brother

            - Documents - Mom

            - Documents - Dad

            - Recipts

 

 

That looks a loot cleaner when you set it up on the clients machines, since I would not have to map so many network drives as I have to do now.

You can already do this with proper security configurations and 1 share.

Not from the GUI.

I was a little confused by what you wanted with this originally as well, but now that I have a better understanding it makes a lot more sense to me. I think this would be a nice but not-critical feature to have.

Agree, it is not critical, but looks a lot better.

Is my first post more clear now of what I want? :)
