Volumio Version:2.834
Hardware: HP 8000 series USFF
DAC: NA
I have been using Volumio for a few weeks, after being recommended to me on a linux forum.
I downloaded the x86 install image on to a USB drive, and ran from that for a while, then selected to install from USB to the PC’s internal drive, which is a 60Gig SSD. All has gone OK and it works, I plug in another USB stick with my mp3 files on.
But I believe I now have 50plus Gig of space not being used, is there a way that I can use it to store my music on, have I missed something obvious a quick scan thru documents has not turned anything up. Or perhaps I should re-install via another method. Any guidance appreciated and please make descriptions simple for this old git!
I can not see any network drive from Volumio. but using a program Filezilla I was able to find a directory under the root directory /data/internal, this also seems to be linked to /mnt/internal
I transferred the music files from the USB stick into that and all is fine.
I have many of the options turned off in Volumio such as UPNP renderer, Shairport-sync etc. Initially as I do not understand them, would one of them make the location available on the network?
Last question for this post, have I missed a guide/help file in my search that would let me know about these options?
From a pc, you have to enable discover the network to be able to see it. From iOs I don’t know.
For the doc/help there is a link on Volumio Ui or at the very bottom of this page.
OK I have done some more prodding around the network and found it as a samba share using smb://192.168.xxx.xxx then I was able to bookmark it in my system.
I use ubuntu linux.
Thank you for your help and I will go through the help files again.

The docs link and the FAQ link at the bottom of the page which points to https://docs.volumio.org are not working for me. I get the message unable to find server? I will continue to look around.
