Great video
Professional, well recorded, very simple. Good teacher! :)
Great video! The ASUS instructions are nonsense. Yours is easy and simple. Got it working first time. Many thanks.
Thank you for another great video. I just received my AX3000 today and your video is very helpful.
Thank you. after 2 hours of searching, I found you!
You need to be higher in the search list
Also thank you for the video, I've an unused modem/router sitting here on my desk along with quite a few storage devices. Maybe this will come in handy soon as I was considering a custom security camera and haven't decided on digital storage or just live feed.
Thank you sir 🙌 Im getting myself an Asus router because of you. I always wanted this on a cheaper option.
Great learning Video. Very well explained!!
Thank you for the tutorial!
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing
Great video! Thanks

You're welcome!
Excelent video, thanks a lot!
You are welcome!
thanks man! You are a live saver!
Glad to help
this was a very good video, i have watched so many others and they were all shit. Very good video keep it up
good tutorial!
Thanx. Very useful.
Exactly what i wanted! Now i can auto backup my emulation saves from my steamdeck
Thanks for the intro! Can the USB stroage be attached to the nod router or it has to be with the main rounter in a mesh network?
Very good video. Easy to understand. Is there a way to auto-upload photos to the drive from my mobile when I'm out and about, like Onedrive or Google Photos does? I want to do away with paid-for cloud storage.
Really through video , extremely useful. Is there a way to auto-backup pics/vids from android to a cloud the way google does? Mega nz works but seems pretty awkward to use and of course only works with their cloud.
Thanks for this
Welcome
Hello sir, you are one of the best who explain in a simple and fun way, we thank you very much for this hard work, but we aspire and want you to explain in detail about the smart connect feature for Asus devices because there are not many explanations on RUclips about this in the same easy and simple way, thank you very much sir
Thanks, noted for the smart connect. Cheers!
Good video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you!
Welcome!
Thank u sir🎉
Most welcome
is it possible to use it for backing up my devices photos or videos automatically?
Thank you for the tutorial!
Is there a way to host files and access as a remote drive in Windows/OSX (opposed to a browser)?
You mean like this? ruclips.net/video/kW75BHaPUjE/видео.html
Hi,
i have some issue connecting them together. i managed to connect in some mode, but when i want to open any file, it starts downlaoding it first on my notebook, should it be like that ??
Is this the equavalent to ReadyShare on Netgear routers?
Do I need to configure/format the SSD drive before plugging it in? I'm having trouble creating new folders within the drive VIA the ASUS GUI on my browser. Should I disconnect the drive, plug it into my computer and add folders that way?
Hello, can you make a NAS server for video recorder on this router? Use same hard disk. Please
Say when I'm downloading a file from my phone, is it possible to change the download location into my aicloud?
I did all the steps but can't access outside my environment because of NAT conflict. I have the same router but your vidieo didn't show the conflict, highlighted in yellow. Any way I can bypass, override or disable it without affecting my sons game console?
Do you have a solution/alternative if my Asus Router doesn't have "AiCloud"? What can be done? And, since you mentioned that there is an Android application, as well what would be that Android app?
does it need a public address? Is a variable IP enough?
Very good instructions. great video by far than others. After 6 hours I still cannot access my USB drive. Ai cloud will not work nor does local network see the drive. ASUS router sees it but I cannot get access. My ASUS must be junk.
Thank You for - Great tutorial - Q: How can I make an identical/similar connection with a network attached (Ethernet) NAS (i.e. QNAP)? - I connect via the QFile app via the QNAP site, but it would be nice to have all my Router attached storage accessed from one App location.
I would use OpenVPN to connect to your router. This will allow you to connect to your home network through your router so you have access to all storage devices in your network, qnap or Synology or pc's.
Is there any alternative extension or adapter which can be useful in converting old router (without USB port) into private cloud storage? Please help. .....Thank you
Not that I know off
ASUS RT-AC68U supports this function?
Using a USB Hub can All in One Printer and External HDD be connected network STORAGE and PRINT COPY SCAN FAX functions working?!
I have a kinston xs1000 2TB external SSD - but the status of the device is unmounted - what shoud I do ? Format ssd to ntfs or ?
Really useful video. I have a problem though. When i try to upload a file
from my phone using the AiCloud app i get the message 'file can't upload'.
Do you have any idea what can be the cause of that?
Hello! i have problem with the ddns. I cannot access it and login via broweser.
Hey any alternatives if my ISP do not wanna give me bridge connection to get public WAN IP? How does ASUS IOS Aicloud app even go pass this without using DDNS anyway?
maybe you should try NAS from Synology because Asus AIcloud only working on ISP who give you access to Public IP Address and not for Private IP Address, cmiiw
my disk is unmounted , any idea to mount it ?
I followed these steps but cannot connect from anywhere. It just times out. What am I missing? Wrong port?
I tried it and it doesnt go to my ddns
I did all steup on asus router but didn't find disk
Greetings kind teacher. Thank you very much for your great video. Done everything you explained, step by step, and then rechecked 2 times, but still cannot connect from outside my home network. Inside, works great, but if I try to access from a different location (from the cell app or a browser), a message saying that it is not possible to connect. Is anything I can do? Thank you in advance
Hello Daniel,
What is youy Internet connection type? (Dynamic IP, Fixed IP, Nat,...) Also, do you have 2 routers at home, the ISP router and the Asus or the Asus is connected directly to the ISP's Modem?
@@KnowledgeSharingTech First and foremost, thank you very much for your kind attention.
My ISP router is in Bridge mode, and a LAN cable connect to my ASUS router. It is Dynamic IP.
in my case, when i give a hostname, it says invalid ip address :(
I tried to make a local network through media share, or Samba with the ASUS TUF-AX5400 (but without any AI cloude). So I put in my mini usb thumbdrive. And the ASUS found it. But when I put in my bigger hdd, the ASUS did not find it. I had 1 Seagate on 3TB, and 1 Seagate on 12TB. And none of them was found. Beside the smaller thumbdrive on 16gb. I havent used this USB port for anything before. Is it important to configure for certain hdd sizes ? Heard about this problem before ?
Your drives may be power hungry. Do they have external power? If not, try to connect them to a powered USB hub. Look at this video: ruclips.net/video/CytlBaMa7vY/видео.html
Is it possible to do the same for tp-link router please? I have archer c5v
It wasn't possible on the TP-Link routers that I had: AX55 & AX73. Don't know about your model.
Just asking whether you know what is the maximum Hard Disk size can GT-AXE16000 Asus Router support?
I asked Asus about this and they replied, there's no limit
How do you add files or pictures to usb is there options for that
Yes you can upload a file with the aicloud app..
Open the app and select your device, browse to the folder you want to upload to.
Touch the big blue circle with the white + symbol, it will ask you to create another folder or to upload a file.
Great! But what is the download speed for outside access?
It depends on your internet upload speed at home and on the download speed of where you are
Hi!
Do you know if I can use a usb hub to add more than one drive?
Here's your answer: ruclips.net/video/CytlBaMa7vY/видео.html
@@KnowledgeSharingTech thank you
i have the following message on my DDNS page "The wireless router currently uses a private WAN IP address.
This router may be in the multiple-NAT environment. While using an External check might allow DDNS to reflect the correct IP address, this might still interfere with remote access services." following your steps i can login when on my network but if i go to another network the DDNS link wont work
Talk to your ISP, they might have a solution to forward the traffic for your IP to you
Disk is formatted to exFAT. Thanks
And if I try to access it through Windows, it return the message that the remote device would not accept the connection.
exFAT is not supported. Here's the list of file formats supported by Asus: event.asus.com/2009/networks/disksupport/
@@KnowledgeSharingTech Thank you very much for your early response. Appreciate your pointer and associated information. Regards from Malaysia.
I have done exactly as you explained but I cannot drag and drop or save any files on the file I created on my Private Cloud Storage ??
Have you already created a learning video on this subject, i.e. Editing and saving documents on teh Network drive ?
The wireless router currently uses a private WAN IP address.
This router may be in the multiple-NAT environment and DDNS service cannot work in this environment. 😞 Too bad...I have a ZTE H369A modem which cant be on bridge mode....What can I do?
you can use it regardless its a private or public ip address
OK but how do I setup the app on someone else phone who is overseas and cannot access my WiFi??
What browser did you use when typing your ddns site?
If I remember correctly, Edge
@@KnowledgeSharingTech I still can't access my hdd outside my network
@@Nolra08 check if your ISP give you access to public ip address, cmiiw
my asus router says : the wireless router currently uses private WAN IP address (192.168.x.x) This router may be in the multiple -NAT environment and DDS service cannot work in this environment. : Please advice to solve the problem
YA, BUT . . . Routers are vulnerable to hacks ... How can you increase security for home cloud storage ?
Use VPN, and share local only.
I'm having trouble:
1. accessing my files outside of my home network using AiCloud 2.0 (Android) app; but accessing files inside my home network is working
2. showing the USB files/folders in Network folder (connected from modem, not Asus AP)
My ASUS AC68U is set up as an AP (connected to modem) with 2 USB hard disks (NTFS, 1Tb and 2Tb). I have all your steps in your video done. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
check you ISP if they give you access to Public IP Address or not, I think they only give you access to Private IP Address so you can't access Aicloud outside your local network
@@pandudianwicaksono5739 this doesn't explain why I was able to access both mentions before..... I don't think it's my ISP, but rather some configurations.
I have my isp modem and my rt ac5300 as AP.
I can never upload a file
Thanks for the video. But I have a problem. I cannot access the disk to assign permissions. Please help.
Please ensure your disk is in NTFS format.
@@holmancalda4127 Thank you for the pointer.
Does the Asus router ax 3000 support usb hub?
Didn't test it but it should. I made a video about this with a TP-Link router. It should be the same: ruclips.net/video/CytlBaMa7vY/видео.html
@@KnowledgeSharingTech i already watched this video. BTW your videos is very useful for buying needful router.
after I add a user and click on the storage it turns the name blue then loads for ever...wtf
Will this work with any other router
If the router has this option then yes otherwise, you have to share the USB on the router ruclips.net/video/kW75BHaPUjE/видео.html and then configure VPN access: ruclips.net/video/jAaS1H1oN2U/видео.html
is aicloud has a limit storage?
According to Asus, No
@@KnowledgeSharingTech Thank you for the reply.
6:16 this is where it fails me. I have never been able to visit the asuscomm website outside my network.
I can’t configure a DDNS. I get two messages in yellow.
What are the messages?
“The wireless router currently uses a private WAN IP address”
“This router may be in the multiple-NAT environment and DDNS service cannot work in this environment”
Didn't Asus shut down AiCloud?
Not that I know of
@@KnowledgeSharingTech just realized I’m thinking of Netgear that discontinued their cloud service.
Great informative tutorial...however...it's way over my 73 year dead brain-cells...I would so screw up my router and god knows what else...my head is a cloud and so very foggy 🤣
LoL
But its limited usagee- i cant watch videos or open PDF, basically just copy-paste(donload file) but not like its located on my PC?
This doesn't seem privacy friendly, google/asus is still getting your data.
Thank you for your video explanation. I can not set up this function because I get a message 'invalid IP address'. => WAN IP: 192.168.1.3.
How can I get around this? I am using an IP address randomly assigned to me by Softbank JP. Internally, my WAN IP address becomes as per the above. Does this mean I can not use ASUS' DDNS service? Thanks. Jerry. Tokyo.
