Is there something cheap that would plug into the wired network and show up as a network drive
You could certainly use the Pi4 as a wired client and plug your USB drive into it; you don't need a screen as you can remote control from your desk PC. Or possibly automate the upload.
But is there a good reason not to connect your desk PC/device to Ethernet, or powerline, or better Wifi?
My main PC with most of my data is in my loft. My desk is in a spot which has average wi-fi (75Mbps say).
Occasionally I'd like to transfer large files up to the main PC from a USB drive. Is there something cheap that would plug into the wired network and show up as a network drive for USB stuff or something and transfer at full speed up to that main PC. I have a spare Pi4 if that would be any good. Cheers
