Format a USB from the MyCloudEX2Ultra Dashboard?

I have connected the USB to the USB port on the MyCloudEX2Ultra back panel. Can You Format the WD USB 3.0 from the MyCloudEX2Ultra Dashboard?

Is there a way to format the USB without ejecting it and plugging it into my CPU directly?

Thank you for your response! :innocent:

While the NAS seems to use the type format already on the external USB disk
best to format NTFS from a computer. (I don’t see a dashboard item to do it )

Only use exfat format if you have to unplug the USB external disk and need to have it plugged into a Mac system.
