Network Reshare volume configuration

To configure a Network Reshare volume:

  1. Launch the Access Connect Administrator application.
  2. Click the Volumes button and the then click Create.
  3. Click On another server. If you are not shown an option to choose On another server, you may be running a standard Access Connect retail license rather than the required Enterprise License Program (ELP) license.
  4. Enter the UNC path of the SMB/CIFS file share that you would like to reshare as an Access Connect volume, then click OK. This UNC path is in the typical \\servername\sharename format. An example is: \\nas.mycompany.com\myshareDistributed File System (DFS) UNC paths can also be entered for Network Reshare volumes. DFS target resolution will all occur in the SMB reshare layer and Macs will be able to seamlessly browse and access the reshared DFS resource. For more details on DFS with Network Reshare, see our Accessing DFS files using Access Connect Network Reshare article.
  5. In the Volume Properties dialog, modify the Volume Name if desired and click OK.

Note: If you receive an error stating that “The specified path is not available.” you may have entered an invalid UNC path, or the user account you selected in the Initial Network Reshare configuration steps above may not have Full Control access to this file share at this UNC path. If this is a Windows file share, ensure this user account has both “Sharing” and “Security” permissions to the file share.
