All I want to do is plug my external SSD into the USB port on an AIS supplied router so I can have local cloud service. All I see is how to turn on the Samba Service and FTP, The USB services only shows a USB Printer, no option for connecting to a hard drive. AI tells me Thai AIS likely disables file access through the USB port. I spent $500 for a fancy router years ago which worked, but then it didn't configure rightly and I ended up with an AIS supplied router. It works fine, but I miss access to hard drive storage on a USB drive. Somebody out there who can explain this? Could I prevail on AIS to fix it up or reconnect my old, fancy ASUS router?

This topic will most likely be moved to the appropriate forum.

What you describe is not a "cloud service." It's local network storage. A cloud service is where a company stores your files on their servers.

As you know, many routers have a USB port where you can plug in a HDD / SSD and access it locally, and also remotely. You will have to VPN back to the router, then go into the UI of the router, and there you will see your network storage. From there, you can upload or download to your location.

What options are there under the "USB" section?
