Storage Media on the FRITZ!Box
Enable "Storage (NAS) enabled" to display the storage media on the FRITZ!Box and configure settings for these storage media.
- Available storage media are displayed in a table with storage type, name and status.
- In the "Enabled" column you can enable or disable the available storage media, and also safely remove storage devices.
- Click the links in the "Type of Storage" column to access the storage media. Storage media are accessed over FRITZ!NAS. When prompted to do so, enter the user name you defined in the "System / FRITZ!Box Password / FRITZ!Box User" area.
- You can start manual indexing of the storage media in the "File Index" column.
Every time FRITZ!NAS is started the storage media of the FRITZ!Box are reindexed. If you do not use FRITZ!NAS to access your storage media, start the indexing in the "File Index" column manually from time to time to guarantee that the devices in your home network can access all of the contents on your storage media.
These storage media can be used on your FRITZ!Box:
- USB storage devices
Storage devices connected to the USB port of the FRITZ!Box, for instance a USB stick or USB hard drive. - Internal memory
Storage integrated in the FRITZ!Box. Note the available memory capacity in the "Status" column of the table. - Online storage
Memory space in the internet, provided by your internet service provider. To synchronize your local and online storage, a USB storage device must be connected to the FRITZ!Box. The available storage space on the USB storage device must equal at least the volume of data to be copied to or from the online storage.
