Network Visibility / Non Web browser

Hi There,

 

On Mac OSX I have readynas104 as a mounted drive so file browsing/editing etc is easier without having to navigate to web browser.

 

I've just purchased a Windows 10 desktop and cannot seem to mount the drive in the same way. 

https://kb.netgear.com/23179/How-do-I-access-a-shared-folder-on-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system-by-using-a-network-attached-Windows-device

 

This guide looks perfect, but when followed (I.e. typing IP or host name into file explorer) it always diverts to web browser.

 

Can you give me any suggestions to try? 

 

Thanks in advance 

  • Type backslash-backslash-IP, not forwardslash-forwardslash-IP, and it will stay on File Explorer.
