The WebShare widget displays Open WebShare and Add buttons, and a icon for accessing service options. Each configured WebShare displays as a row showing the share name, path, and action icons to open the share in a new browser tab, edit the share, or delete the share.
Before configuring WebShare, ensure the following:
If you have not added WebShare shares to the system, the WebShare widget shows text stating general information about WebShares until a share is added.
WebShare provides web-based file access to authorized users through a browser interface. Unlike SMB or NFS shares that require mounting on client systems, WebShare allows users to browse, upload, download, and search files directly from a web browser.
WebShare requires TrueNAS Connect to be configured and active.
The WebShare service screen displays settings to configure the WebShare service.
