Step 5: Mount and Unmount Drives
To control whether a shared drive is accessible or writeable to your computer, rightclick
the icon in the system tray and select your desired mounting option, as shown
in Figure 5-14.
Note: It is a good practice to unmount the drive when it is not in use, especially if you are
writing files to the shared drive. Leaving a drive mounted in Read/Write mode may prevent
others from writing their files to the drive.
