Q:I've set up the NAS so far and also created a share, but I'm still asked to log in. I have enabled guests access to read/write.It is still asking for credentials. I would like to run the share completely anonymously (i.e. without login).

Release date: 2025-08-11
Applicable Products:
  • QTS 4.4.1 (or later)
  • Permissions

Important: The guest account requires no credentials to access your NAS. Consider and plan accordingly for what permissions you give the guest account and what data you allow the guest account to access.

  1. Log in to QTS as an administrator.

  2. Open Control Panel.
