Hello, can you show us some screenshots of the issue you are experiencing? If you insert the HDD into the computer directly, are you able to view all files and folders?

 

Are you able to access other files or folders when you access it via SMB as described in this FAQ?

Hello Community Team,

 

Please find attached my screenshots.

I can't access the files, neither through \\TP-LINK or ftp.

Help appreciated.

Regards,

José
