Share Extra Parameters

The Extra Parameters option for Shares will appear if you enabled Advanced Settings.

It can be used to add other parameters in your smb.conf for specific shares.

IMPORTANT: You can easily make Amahi generate INVALID samba configurations with this option - so use it very carefully!!

Things You Can Do

You can do anything that Samba let's you

• Add Recycle bins to each of your shares

• Add comment to shares (overrides existing share name comment)

• Even run ClamAV antivirus and having virus protection in a given share

If these work well and there is demand for any of them, we will provide them as a single-click checkbox. Send us feedback or file a feature request for it!
