Hello everyone, I've changed my PC about 2 weeks ago, so I've switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and I've noticed that I no longer see FREEBOX in the left column of the file explorer. This is annoying since I'm used to dragging movies and music directly into it. How can I get it back? Thank you

Freebox hard drive not visible in my file explorer : CCM

Hello,

For my part, the procedure is not quite the same:

1) click on the "file explorer" icon

2) then right-click on "network" (at the bottom left)

3) connect a network drive

4) choose a letter for this drive "for example: Z"

5) in folder type: \\FREEBOX_SERVER\Hard drive

6) check the boxes: reconnect at logon and connect using different credentials

7) when prompted, type freebox then your password (the one used on the page mafreebox.freebox.fr)

8) Remember the credentials

9) Then OK

Good evening

You need to go to File Explorer, click on This PC, and at the top add a network location "\\freebox\disque dur" and check the network lower down in File Explorer to see if it appears!

Thank you for this quick response but it's not working. I copied and pasted \\freebox\hard drive when it asked me for the location name and it says "The folder you entered does not seem to be valid. Please choose another one."

mettez voir que \\freebox

So it doesn't work either. The message has changed, it says "Windows requires a share to publish to. Try another location."

Have you set up a local network or homegroup?

frelo54 Posted messages 30 Status Membre 4

No, I don't think so. With my old PC, I didn't need to do any manipulation.

Hello

To connect your Freebox and view the Freebox hard drive as a drive on your PC, such as partition C or D:

1) Click on the "File Explorer" icon

2) Then right-click on "Network" ( at the bottom left)

3) Connect to a network drive

4) Choose a letter for this drive, "for example: Z"

5) In the folder field, type: \\FREEBOX\Hard drive

6) Check the box: reconnect at sign-in

7) Confirm with OK

Check in "File Explorer"; you will find your Freebox hard drive and all its folders above "Network".

I restarted the Freebox and the PC and it’s still the same thing.

Go to network ---> freebox server ---> freebox settings ---> advanced mode ---> windows sharing ---> UNCHECK enable file sharing AND ok ---> redo windows sharing ---> CHECK enable file sharing AND ok
check if it works
One important thing your network must be private and not public

So I did it, it didn't change anything. However, I touched a few things in Network and Sharing Center and found this on this PC

So I have access to the hard drive but I don't understand why it doesn't appear in the left column under Network...

beber67470 Posted messages 5123 Registration date Status Membre Last intervention 811

no, it appears as a hard drive when you develop this PC, the arrow appears below
So that's good

frelo54 Posted messages 30 Status Membre 4

Yes, I developed it, it appears well below. I'm not going to nitpick; before it was in the network, now it's on this PC at least I have access!

Thank you for your help!

beber67470 Posted messages 5123 Registration date Status Membre Last intervention 811 > frelo54 Posted messages 30 Status Membre

Yes, with the reset manipulation it should appear. Remember to mark the topic as resolved and have a good evening.
Best regards

When I double click on Freebox server, it takes me here:

When I double click on Freebox player, it opens this window

And the Freebox player opens Windows Media Player...

beber67470 Posted messages 5123 Registration date Status Membre Last intervention 811

and on the Freebox server higher up (network infrastructure)

frelo54 Posted messages 30 Status Membre 4

The Freebox server takes me to the Freebox management interface.
And now I just tried to go to the network and there's nothing at all...

Your disk is integrated into your Freebox, right?
If not, restart your Freebox and your PC and see if you have access after this reboot.

frelo54 Posted messages 30 Status Membre 4

it's back but it's still the same

frelo54 Posted messages 30 Status Membre 4

Yes, the hard drive is integrated into the Freebox TV case. I'll give it a try.
