Connect External Storage#
Warning
External storage drives without an external power supply must NOT be connected to the USB sockets. Otherwise, this can lead to data loss on the internal hard disk. Always use external storage drives with a separate power supply together with the NextBox.
Requirements#
an external storage drive with a separate power supply
the external storage must be formatted with a supported filesystem (e.g. ext3, ext4 or XFS)
Configuration#
Connect your external storage to your NextBox
Switch to the NextBox Administration App
Select “Storage Management”
Click onto the plus sign to mount the storage
Note
If you want to share directories with multiple users you have to install the “Group folders app” and click onto the three dotted symbol and “Share” to make it available for other users. (As the last image shows)
