Overview: Shared storage and permissions
Shared-storage access combines a file-service path, accepted identity and the current availability of the remote tree.
A readable desktop share and a background server's view can differ in credentials, paths or permissions. A mount can also exist while its operations fail to complete. This area separates the network protocol, access decision and unavailable-source states involved in opening media remotely.
Network file access
Network file access uses protocol-specific identities and operations behind shared or mounted paths.Access identities and permissions
Storage permissions evaluate the process identity, pathname and operation under the applicable filesystem or sharing rules.Unavailable network mounts
An unavailable mount can be absent, present but unreachable, or replaced by another visible tree, and those states provide different library evidence.
