Sharing a USB drive through a router allows you to make the drive's contents accessible to any device on your network without having to physically plug the drive into different devices. You could use router-based sharing to send files to family members or roommates, or simply to ensure that important files can be accessed from any of your computers. In order to share a USB drive in this way, you need a router with a sharable USB port. You must also set up a network share on your computer. Configuring a network share allows operating systems such as Mac OSX to see a networked drive as if it were locally connected.
