Using USB drive with Sonos?

If your router supports it, you can attach the SSD drive to the router’s USB port and use it as an NAS.  Then follow the instructions here:

Thanks Ken. When i connect the drive to my router, and a select add. It’s asking me for a path? Not sure where to find it. I see a IP address on the drive when i go into router settings 

You described it as an external USB SSD (Drive) - it’s not usual for such USB drives to have an IP address - what is it attached to?

My router. Maybe im mistaken regarding the IP address? Should i connect it to my IMac ?

Ah I now see it’s attached to your router, in that case see the link in jgatie’s post.

If you go into your router configuration pages and look at the USB share settings there, it will likely show you the ‘shared’ netbios name and/or IP address (same as router) and path/sharename and any password etc. 

You will likely have to go into the router configuration pages to enable the USB share anyway to begin with. 

If you have a router user-manual, that will likely explain what you first need to do to enable the USB share and it will likely show you the precise path to the shared library too, and perhaps provide a default username and password ? - although some routers may not always require a username/credentials etc; it depends on the router.

Once you establish the path (& any credentials) then add that to the area of the Sonos App as per your earlier posted screenshot.

Thanks. In my router settings, I don’t see a enable USB Share?

Can you perhaps provide a link to your routers user-manual online and I’ll see if I can discover anything further to assist you.

Thank you. Will look online for the users manual
