# Network Storage Setting

>[!Note]
>The main purpose of setting a network storage is to store AXIS recording.

## Step1 - Create a shared folder
* Use Samba in Linux environment
* Configuration setting of Samba
* path: /etc/samba/smb.conf

  [AXIS]
    comment = AXIS NVR shared drive
    path = /s3/media/axis
    public = yes
    writable = yes
    read only = no
    valid users = axis
    force user = axis
    workgroup = WORKGROUP

* Remember your username and password for folder permissions, as they will be needed later when setting up the AXIS camera.

## Step2 - Click "Add network storage" button
* Access the AXIS camera GUI interface, navigate to System in the menu, and then go to Storage. Click the Add Network Storage button.


## Step3 - Enter the information of your network storage
* Once clicked, a dialog box will appear (as shown below). Enter the following details:
* Folder Host: e.g. **192.168.1.233**
* Folder Name (Share Name): e.g. **AXIS**
* Username and Password (for shared folder permissions): **axis / 5giotlead**

* Finally, click the Add button to complete the process.


>[!Note]
>Please be mindful of capitalization when entering the folder name.
>In the above case, we need to input 'AXIS' as our share name.
