Re: What does QDIRSRV NetServer share do?

The QDIRSRV is not a root share - no one can get back up to root from it, right?

If your concern is about external threats, like ransomeware encrypting your data, then your plan is a good idea.
If your concern is about external threats reading data they shouldn't, then not so much.

Ransomware is the #1 reason we shut down all 'root' shares.
