How to Access USB Drive plugged to My Cloud DUO from Windows

Hi There!

Does anyone know how to access and control from Windows file manager the usb drive(s) plugged into the My Cloud Duo.

I can transfer from and to it via the app or the web, but don’t know how ti make it visible on windows file manager

Thanks

This has never been a feature in the My Cloud Home/Duo (white top half, silver bottom) which has always been a cheap, low functionality storage.
