File Sharing Issues!

1. Does the file server have to be in a domain environment?
If the company deploys an Active Directory, the file server must be a Member Server, not necessarily a Domain Server.

2. How to make sharing more secure?
When you share a folder, add $ next to the folder to hide the sharing effect. Because of the shared Barrel Principle, you must strictly set the access control, it is better to use the group mode to restrict permissions, which is less effort-consuming and convenient to manage than setting permissions for everyone!

3. What are the sharing name settings?
Generally, two to three abbreviations are used to share folders. For example:
The Administration department shares the administrator department. We can use AD $ as the internal shared folder of the Administration department.
The Human Resources Department shares the Human recruit Department. We can use HR $ as the internal shared folder.

4. What is the company's shared folder architecture?
Many people are worried about how to set up shared folders more rationally! In fact, the following architecture can be used within most companies to define the entire shared folder architecture!

Personal folders, personal confidential folders, personal visibility, you can use the Active Directory to set Directories
The Personnel & Administration & Company activity folder can be used as a file template for you to browse and use script ing.
The company's shared folder serves as an exchange between everyone. Every user can read, write, and use script ing.
Only internal staff of the department can use the Domain user to read and write files in the internal folder of the Department.
