How to use secured folder access

Why would I need to use secured folder access? By default, when you
connect a USB drive to your router, the entire contents of the drive are available
for read and write access to anyone on your local network (no login credentials
are required) However, you can also make the drive and its folders secure, so
that only authorized users can access the drive's contents
TIP
When Secure Folder Access is on, the entire USB drive is secured
