Best way to connect to network NAS

Machines (Original/PRO) How To
1

Hi,

I have seen some posts about connecting to Windows machines by installing Samba.

In my case however, I have a NAS where I store all of my Gcode files. While I know that I can upload these via the web browser on mobile or my laptop, I would love the ability to access the NAS from the 1F.

I have found this [Connect to NAS Drive](Connect to a NAS drive). Has anyone tried this?

Thanks
Steve

Steve - in theory you can mount your NAS to the RPI and use that remote directory as the upload folder. Then you can use the NAS as the central point of file exchange. I’ve not done that, but I think some folks have – I’m pretty sure there is a thread about it, but I’m struggling to find it right now.
