Can we share the USB hard drive in the network?

[vshk]

Dear all,

I would like to have your help on a question about making use my device (Raspberry Pi 3) for other tasks while running the runeaudio:

1. Can we share the hard disk attached to the USB port to the network, so that I can also access/play the music files from a desktop computer?

2. Can we run other software such as deluge (Arch) so that I can use the device as a BT client while not playing music e.g. at night (but no need to switch the SD card with different distro)?

Thanks!
Victor

Yes, you can easily access the harddrive under the Network section of Windows and Linux. I am using Windows 10 and Linux Mint (Virtualbox) and both see it as "runeaudio" on the local network.
