Access to attached USB drive

I’ve inserted a usb into the back of the device. I get an alert on my phone asking if I want to copy everything from the drive.It also says the drive will be available to all users.
I don’t want to transfer everything, just few large files. It’s a WD My Passport that looks to be supported.
Is there any way to browse to this usb directly using file explorer? I don’t see it anywhere in explorer using network path or the mapped drive on a machine with the desktop app installed.

you can only import everything from an attached sub drive to the my cloud home. If you want to transfer just a few files then you can install the WD Discovery software and it will map the My Cloud Home as a drive on your computer. Once that is done you can connect the USB drive to the computer and then drag and drop the single files you want to transfer from the USB drive to the My Cloud Home.
