Connect External Hard Drive to Orbi network?

[Hotkey]

I have an external hard drive that connects via USB to my computers but I'm out of USB ports on the computer so I'm curious if I can connect it to the Orbi somehow and browsed to files from local network devices.

Will external hard drives EVER be supported on Orbi?

Doesn't look like it. 

Please post about your desires for this over here though:

and.... it looks like it never will be.  The newly released Orbi WiFi6 does not have a USB port.

It doesn't nor a power button.
