Hi all,

I have a small server running with Windows 2012 Essentials R2, and want to add a couple of external UBS drivers to the shared folder pool on the network.
Strange thing is that the OS refuses to see the external disks other than disks destined for backup purposes.

I have browsed the web quite a bit now, but cannot seem to find anything on this. Is this something that is not possible in 2012?
I can recall this being possible in the 2008 version.

All the data is mostly video/large images related, and I basically don't want to copy all that data over to the internal storage on the server itself.
It's just for convenience sake.
 

Hope anyone can shed some light on this.

cheers!

rob

      Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
