How do I access the harddrives of Proxmox from a different machine?

[itspuia]

Hi there!

I am absolutely new to Proxmox and just started it on a small home server to play around with it and to learn for future projects.

Proxmox is running and as a test I installed Plex with a helper Script (TTECK).

Everything works fine, I've got a 500GB HDD for the system and a 4TB HDD for storage.


How do I access the 4TB HDD from my separate every day Windows machine? Any way to access it directly from Windows explorer?



Thanks a lot!

it depends completely on the type of data that you are storing on that disk.
One way would be : https://opensource.com/article/21/4/share-files-linux-windows

Jup, best you work with SMB network shares. Proxmox VE doesn't come with any NAS features. So if you want a webUI to configure the shares instead of setting up everything on your own using the CLI, I would recommend to install a NAS OS like OpenMediaVault in a VM.
