Last Modified 2023-08-31 14:46 EDTFile sharing is one of the primary benefits of a NAS. TrueNAS helps foster collaboration between users through network shares.
TrueNAS SCALE allows users to create and configure block (iSCSI) shares targets, Windows SMB shares, Unix (NFS) shares, and WebDAV shares.
