diamondbullet None of my external storage devices show up in Shadow. I am using Windows PC.

I have a USB external SSD and an SSD card. None of them show up in Shadow. I downloaded the USB drivers from the Shadow launcher and still nothing shows. I have tried restarting my computer and reinserting the usb devices.

Nothing is working all it shows is local disk C from Shadow.

Please help.

For anyone else wondering I actually got it to work, all I had to do was open quick menu and enable it in controllers and usb.

If you're using it to play games from it will be very slow, this is not the intended purpose of the feature, you would need incredibly fast local upload speed and very low latency to Shadow.

@flint elbow I’ve tried to use it to move large files but the move time is abysmal. Definitely not the service for me.

The usb over ip feature isn’t really intended for it. Small files here and there sure, but it’s mostly for forwarding light peripherals than heavy duty stuff.

You’d be better off network mapping it to your shadow via software such has TailScale or ZeroTierOne, but even then it’s dependent on your local upload speed and latency. - for example say you have 100Mbps upload that’s 12.5MB/s under the best conditions.
