Accessing my NAS Drive over the internet

 Hi guys,

Just got my WD Nas drive installed.

Is there anyway for me to set it up so that I can connect to it via windows explorer over the internet? 

At the moment I have tried put it on static NAT so that when I type in the external IP address of my router it goes straight to the folders. After this I just says I am unable to connect without prompting for credentials.

Any help would be appreciated!

Kris

EDIT:

It is now prompting for credentials but still saying that it is unaccessable…

Hello,

You may access it with the WD My Cloud Desktop application.
