Dynamic Share provides volume sharing and allows all machines to simultaneously read from the shared volume and only one machine to write.
Scenario 1 - All machines reading. This can include playing the same video file on several machines at the same time.
Scenario 2 - All machines reading, and one machine writing. This can include playing a video file on all machines while copying some files from one machine to the shared volume.
Scenario 3 - All machines reading, one machine writing, the other machines are not allowed to write to the same volume. While one machine is copying some big files to the shared volume, try to copy a file to the same volume from another machine (or to delete a file on this volume). Dynamic Share should intercept this and you should receive an error message, explaining that you cannot write to the disk.
Scenario 4 - After one machine has finished writing to the volume and closed all open files, another one can write to the same volume, copy some files to the volume, switch to the other machine and try to copy some files from there to the same volume. Be aware that it may take some time for the second machine to be able to write to the volume. This is due to the fact that the operating system itself on the first machine may have some remaining data to be written to the volume, so Dynamic Share won't release write access until this is done (average 30 seconds).
