Set up a Windows device as a NAS for file storage and sharing.
You created a new user on the NAS with limited access, placed the folder there, and configured it to use a specific login instead of the main admin account.
Ensure user accounts are created and permissions configured in the security settings of the folder.
Consider the best configuration for accounts. You possess an admin account meant solely for system upkeep and configuration changes. Unless necessary, keep this account empty of files. Suggest restricting access to the folders you wish to share. If admin rights exist, remove them directly. Ensure you have a user with both read and write permissions on the shared folder for updates. Assign a guest account with read-only access for others to view content on your NAS. If you wish the guest account to modify files, create a separate folder and grant write access. Always retain at least read permissions for yourself.
I ran a Dropbox for my lesson, but no one could modify the files. They only had upload permissions. Students could submit assignments, but I reminded them to double-check everything since changes after submission were not possible.
I would choose the Reds. And if possible, a dedicated drive for the operating system.
