FRITZ!Box now even better: easy sharing of files without the cloud!
What's going on in the world of home networks? The FRITZ!Box's new sharing function comes at just the right time and makes sharing files easier than ever before. Loud stadt-bremerhaven.de The FRITZ!Box is now equipped with a function that makes it possible to make files available to recipients without their own account. Provided you have the right software version – it works from FRITZ!OS 8.20 or newer!
Users can also expect a user-friendly solution: files can be made available via a sharing link. The recipients conveniently discover the shared folders via a web interface in the browser. This is perfect if you want to send or collect something quickly, without complicated detours via cloud services or external providers. All you need is the FRITZ!Box with the NAS storage function activated and internet access.
Easy to set up NAS function
Another advantage of the FRITZ!Box: It is easy to use as a NAS (Network Attached Storage). You can connect USB sticks or hard drives directly to the FRITZ!Box without having to purchase a separate NAS server. This not only saves money, but also electricity, like rootops.de explained.
The setup instructions for the NAS function are simple. First you have to connect the USB hard drive or a USB stick in FAT32, NTFS or exFAT format to the FRITZ!Box. For optimal performance, NTFS format is recommended. You can then access the user interface in the browser at http://fritz.box and activate the network storage function.
How does file sharing work?
Once activated, you can set up file sharing by setting the appropriate user rights. You can easily access the NAS storage via Windows Explorer or Mac Finder by entering \\fritz.box or the IP address. Access is also easy from smartphones – just use MyFritz! App or a file explorer with SMB/FTP, like the information on fritz.com describe.
The FRITZ!Box also offers a media server function so that you can stream music, videos and photos. The ease of setting up this feature is considered particularly beneficial as it eliminates the need for expensive additional equipment.
This new sharing function and the ability to use the FRITZ!Box as a NAS brings a breath of fresh air into the world of home networks. When it comes to practical solutions for sharing and managing data, there's really something to be said for it!
