Configuring a remote Windows share or NAS device for DLO Storage Locations

You can create DLO Storage Locations on remote Windows shares or network-attached storage devices.

In addition, you can configure Storage Locations so that the DLO administration service does not run as an administrator-level user, but the DLO administration groups are assigned the appropriate permission levels on a pre-existing share.

See Configuring a remote Windows share or NAS device for DLO Storage Locations using non-administrator case.
