I'm still struggling with the use of the DNS 320... Is there anyone who can inform me how to structure the volume? I put all in Ajaxplorer and cannot set network shares (?) Copying all back to the volume root takes as long as my initial copy to the HD, i.e. weeks.... I also would like to know why/when to use Ajaxplorer (or not).
Thanks for any help/explation provided.

and cannot set network shares (?)

'Management' >> 'Account management'
You have everything you need to set user account and network shares

Yes, thank you. I know where to find the account management functionality. What if my folders in Ajaxplorer are not visible, thus CANNOT select it and consequently not share it?

What exactly are you trying to do?

According to the manual (pp 87 - 88 English manual) AjaXplorer is a file explorer that allows you to remotely manage the files stored under the AjaXplorer folder by using a web browser.
Which, by my reading, means you can manage files in that directory on your internal net - not the outside internet.  I may be wrong but there isn't any documentation on it that I can find.

If you are trying to share files out on the internet then I would think you would be better to use the FTP server where you can setup the necessary permissions and security.

The basic structure on the disk (in my RAID1 setup) is the basic volume (Volume_1) with 'Ajaxpf' as a subdirectory as well as the hidden .systemfile directory.  I also have several more subdirectories that I have made to store various files and disk images.

Using an FTP client I can see all of those directories and their contents as well as move files to and from them.

Hopefully this will answer some of your questions but I can't be sure until you have defined your problem and what you want to do.

Thanks Ivan, that's useful. Just to recap to make sure I understood, when structuring content on the HD, one must either put all in the Ajaxplorer folder if the only need is to access data via that specific web interface, either directly on Volume 1 if one wants to share (via FTP). All data in the Ajaxplorer folder cannot be shared, all data on Volume 1 can be shared and user account managed.
Well, still not sure about the use of Ajaxplorer then...
But have moved all my folders and files from the Ajaxplorer folder to Volume 1, which went surprisingly very quick.
One issue solved!

As I see it Ajaxplorer appears to be for single person use on an internal network - I may be wrong on this and wish there was some documentation about it.

The fact you are using industry standards (FTP etc.) means you have control over how your files are seen and by whom - a very good thing in my opinion.

One down and x more to go, we all get there one step at a time.

Thanks for your view. Makes senses. Yeah, up to the next issue (or challenge whatever you want to call it) ;-)

You can also create a symbolic link, as is usual under Linux 
I've added 2 of my folders in that way to ajax
