However, that’s as far as its storage goes, because you can’t do things like backing up your computer to the external drive with Time Machine. It’s important to note though that the router doesn’t support APFS, exFAT, OR NTFS-formatted drives – only those preformatted in FAT or HFS+. When you plug in the drive, you can share the data and storage space on it with your network.
