Hello!
Was hoping someone could help me out on this.
I recently was gifted one of those Western Digital MyCloud Home Drives. It is a NAS solution though be it limited in customization and functionality, but until I can get something better this will work for now.
The drive works fine and I am able to access my Public Shares folder. However since I cant change much about the drive the only thing I can do is access it via IP such as 192.168.1.37 etc by typing in Windows \ \192.168.1.37. The name of the drive is something long and silly MYCLOUD-1541025. No ability to change it as again its a super consumer drive with little advanced user function.
My question is, can you assign a name on the network level to resolve to this IP? For example I want to name my drive NAS and be able to use \ \nas to access it? If it helps I do have a Unifi Dream Machine at the core of my network. I can’t force the drive to do a static IP either so I told Unifi to use a Fixed IP in the settings.
If by chance someone can provide some steps if this can be done or not? Perhaps a article? Thanks for the help!
