Hello!
I used to have a very old and small portable WD external connected to my Dark Knight (ASUS RT-N66U) router. I recently bought a 3 TB desktop drive in hopes of mapping it to our computers and having access to our files from any computer within the network or homegroup. I am not looking for an FTP server. I am specifically wanting it set up as a local network drive, which I have previously had with our old 320 gb drive.
Following the directions I did previously, I'm running into issues where it just doesn't an option from File Explorer. One potential difference is my drive can either be NTFS or exNTFS - no FAT32. I have to imagine there is still a way and I'm just doing something wrong.
Can someone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks
