Add or Edit File Shares
File shares are repositories of storage for users to store files that can be accessed remotely. Administrators can set permissions by role or by attribute on the file share level, so administrators can set up repositories with access limited to certain users as well as provide a repository for files that everyone who authenticates into the system can access.
To add a new or edit an existing file share, click Settings and choose File Shares.
The resulting pop-out will redirect users to the File Shares page.

Administrators can also view the File Share's ID and update the Password or Secret Key for the Username or Access Key.
