extHDD connected to my D6400

Hi there. I used to be able to see and transfer files (via readySHARE) between my wifi connected devices (e.g. android phone, laptop) and my ext-HDD plugged into the D6400.

 

This no longer seems to function.

 

What's the fix?

    I assume that this is a USB device. (There are several ways of plugging an ext-HDD into a D6400.)

     

    What is that USB device?

     

    What firmware version do you have on the D6400?

    A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

    Impossible to say given that you tell us next to nothing about your system, what you are doing  and where it goes wrong.

     

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
