How do you connect external 2TB hard drive (USB 2.0) to LAN and view contents via web browser?

To connect a 2TB USB 2.0 external hard drive to a LAN for web access, you can use a network-attached storage (NAS) device that supports USB connections. Plug the hard drive into the NAS, configure the NAS settings to share the drive over the network, and ensure it has a web interface enabled. Once set up, you can access the hard drive's contents via a web browser by entering the NAS's IP address and accessing the shared folder.
