How to use hidden shares as Storage Locations

DLO supports the use of hidden shares (for example; "Share$") as Storage Locations on NTFS volumes or as network user data folders for FAT32 volumes. However, you must create and configure them manually. They cannot be created with the DLO Administration Console. Hidden shares cannot be used for FAT based Storage Locations.

The following permissions should be used:
