Multimedia File sharing (File Sharing Not Listed under Applications)

Technical Support for Routers

From inside Luci I see attached device and see that it is mounted. But how do i access?

I do not see any File Sharing tools under Applications in the main admin screens, nor can I find any file tools when I search for files to install.

Version 4 removed the file sharing feature as written in the changelogs:

Thanks for the detailed reply. Sorry to hear there is no longer a simple process for storage access.

Do you know if there are any plans to bring File Sharing back into the Admin Screen in a later firmware release?

Pretty sure this won’t happen because of the limited CPU and memory situation.
