Hi there,

 

I'd like to purchase an external drive to connect to Deco via USB as a mini-NAS. If I encrypt the drive via Bitlocker to start with (direct PC connection), then connect to Deco for further access, will I be able to make it work like this? So that it shows up as a network drive on PCs on my home network?

 

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your further explanation.

Yes, you can access a USB hard drive encrypted with BitLocker using the Deco BE65's Wi-Fi.

Best regards.

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

Do you mean the connection will be Deco BE65(USB port)----your PC---the external drive(encrypted by the BitLocker)?

If so, I am afraid it will not work.

Best regards.

  @Marvin_S hi, thanks for your reply.

no, I meant PC USB->HDD to encrypt with Bitlocker, then PC->Deco WIFI->USB->HDD to access after encryption. Will that allow me to access the drive?
