Hello,
I can no longer find the hard drive from my Freebox Révolution in "network." I usually store folders there. A new Freebox Server folder has been created with a bunch of subfolders that I have no use for.
I followed a tutorial I found on the web that said to create a network drive and name it \\FREEBOX\Hard drive
I wasn't able to find the folder in "network" that was suggested to me.
Thank you for your help.

Good evening,
It might simply be a problem with Windows Explorer. You need to restart it.
There are two ways to proceed:
1) Restart the session
2) Open Windows Explorer and go to the Task Manager (right-click on the taskbar). Right-click on "Windows Explorer" and end the task.
Then, still in the Task Manager, click on File => Run new task. In the window that opens, type explorer and confirm.
With Explorer relaunched, the network content should display normally (the network display is always a bit slow).
Best regards-
Hello,
Thank you for your response. I did what you told me and even restarted the Freebox, but it didn’t change anything.
I went into Freebox OS4 and snooped around. Under "Disk," I found reported errors and formatted the hard drive. No more errors, but still nothing in the network.
I reset the Freebox settings, then shut down my computer and rebooted the Freebox again. In the network, I still have Freebox and Freebox server but there’s still no hard drive.
On my computer, when I click on "This PC," I notice changes. "Network location 1" has been created and under it a Downloads folder. When I open the folder, I get a message saying "Windows cannot access \\FREEBOX\Hard Drive\Downloads."
I found in Freebox OS the option to transfer folders, but it’s a hassle and you can’t copy and paste. You have to use an uploader that lags and freezes if you transfer more than 5 files at a time.
I end up questioning whether Free has changed its presentation and if the hard drive is no longer accessible. Have you heard anything about this?
Thank you for your help.
