• Customized Network/Media Server Name

Set a name for your Network/Media Server so you can find it easily when sharing the files. For example, if you set the name as TP-Share, you can access the USB device by visiting \\TP-Share (for Windows) or smb://TP-Share (for Mac).

• Enable Media Sharing

Media Sharing allows you to access and share photos, songs, and videos stored on the USB device directly from DLNA-supported devices, such as your tablet, smart TVs, XBOX, and PlayStation.

When your USB device is inserted into your Deco, your DLNA supported devices such as your computer connected to the Deco can detect the USB device, then you can let it play the media files stored on it.

Tip: For other device, you may need to use a third-party DLNA-supported player.

• Network Neighborhood

Enable Network Neighborhood then users on your network can access the USB device via the address \\TP-Share (for Windows) or smb://TP-Share (for Mac).

Tip: For other device, you may need to use a third-party app to access the USB device.

• FTP (Local)

FTP (Local) allows FTP clients and users on your network to access the USB device via the FTP (Local) address.

• FTP (Via Internet)

FTP (Via Internet) allows FTP clients and users to remotely access, download or upload files to the shared USB device through FTP (Via internet) address. You can set the port as needed.
