4.3 eBOX Keys

eBOX keys enable users to remotely access their network server’s files with an easy-to-use USB key. With your eBOX key, you will be able to safely access any file from eBOX — no matter where you are.

There are 2 types of eBOX key holders:

 Standard eBOX key holders or users – up to 10 of them.*  Master eBOX key holder or user – one only, as this key contains Administrator

privileges.

 Access their own private folder, shared folder and any public folder.  Change their own username and password.

A master eBOX key contains these additional administrator privileges:

 VIEW all users and their status (without accessing their private and shared folders).  DELETE users and the contents of their private folders.  DEACTIVATE users; block a user’s key access to eBOX.  EDIT user's passwords.  EDIT usernames.  Set the system clock: date & time.  Format hard disk drives.  Change the eBOX and workgroup names.  Disable/enable media server and iTunes services.

5.3.1 Overview

When using eBOX with one hard disk drive, it will contain three root folders: Public, Private (using the current user’s name) and sharing.

These folders cannot be deleted or renamed. In addition, new folders cannot be opened and files cannot be placed adjacent to them.

When using eBOX with two hard disk drives, two additional root folders will be created: Disk1 and Disk2 (when in RAID mode there will be three root folders similar to eBOX with one hard disk drive).

Public Folder: Visible and accessible to anyone using the eBOX application or connecting to eBOX within the network. The public folder contains three sub-folders: myMusic, myPhotos and myVideos. The folders were created to help organize media files.

Another sub-folder myTorrents creates upon usage of the BitTorrent utility. Refer to section

5.12.4, Advanced Settings – Print Server, on page 46 for more details.

Private Folder: Each user has one private folder bearing their username. Unlike the public folder, a private folder can only be accessed by its owner. Although the Administrator can see all users and their status, he/she cannot access other users’ private folders.

5.3.2 Sharing Folders: Contains all the folders which are shared to/by the current user. Refer to section 5.8.2, How to uninstall?

1. Run the local client you want to uninstall.

2. Press the Local client button with the red arrow located on the top menu bar.
