[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1483896, member: 11094"] If this will be only used for Macs I would change the format to HFS+ as the FAT format has a 4GB file size limit. Changing the format will wipe the contents of the drive, so backup the data first. You also need to specify the users who have access to the share in the Sharing Preferences. [/QUOTE]
