Instead of using expensive network storage, for example to share files with all participants in the home network, FritzBox owners can also simply use an old hard drive or a USB stick to share with family or roommates with a laptop, smartphone, etc. in the home. WiFi access.
To do this, you first have to connect your hard drive or USB stick to the FritzBox via a USB port. In the Settings of the FritzBox you can about System > FRITZ! Box users, if necessary, enable permissions to access NAS content.-
Then a window opens with the network folder “Fritz.NAS“. Now right-click on the desired storage (USB or hard drive) and select”connect network drive“. Now all you have to do is”Complete“click to use it as network storage.
Small “but”: The performance of a storage medium that is connected to the FritzBox via USB (2.0) will never be comparable to a real network hard drive (NAS). With the write and read speeds, you should always bring some time, especially with larger files.
