Also there is a western digital app for your phone / ipad that will possibly let you find the drive if on your network and then let you look at or work with files on the drive.

Or to see the iPhone through the router? If you want to see the iPhone, you could just plug it into a USB port on your computer and see the photos, which is all Apple allows. In the Files app, if you are trying to see the router via the iP address, it might work to make sure you are on browse, expand locations, go down to the end to either home or work, then the more button, then connect to server and see if putting in that address works. If not, I’d say it is unlikely; though at that point, I would call Apple Accessibility… Richard "There's a nap for that." - an anonymous cat in a window in Portland, Oregon.

Using Windows it is possible to access the attached storage as: \\192.168.1.254\usb1\<file://192.168.1.254/usb1/> Where: 192.168.1.254 Is the IP address of the router as seen by attached devices. Is it possible to access such storages with the stock Apple Files app? I have a Western Digital My Cloud server here and the Files App is perfectly happy to connect to it via its address of: 192.168.1.120 I suspect the problem is that the USB share on the router is not given its own IP address may be the issue here. There are apps that will scan for and connect to the router’s attached USB drive but the Apple Files app will not.
