Wireless Access To Tv Storage
I asked this alreadyin TV the realized I'd probably used the wrong category..
I'd like to wirelessly access a USB storage device on my TV to sync files/folders from my PC. Does such a USB device exist with 1Tb of storage. There is no access to rear of TV once hung on the wall and there is no date cable or HDMI cable access either so wireless or bluetooth is the only option

Not sure my TV could access One Drive though! As far as casting goes.. yes I can aleady cast but when casting from PC to TV the audio is almost always out of sync. An HDMI cable would cure that immediately but can't use in new property we're moving to as the TV and PC are going to be in different rooms
There are multiple ways to access PC content wirelessly on your TV. One of the simplest and most popular involves installing Plex on your PC. Plex has a free plan that works for this purpose.
Based on your description, your TV is a smart TV. If it is, the next step is to install Plex on your TV. Once Plex is installed, you can immediately enjoy your PC content.
If you can't install Plex on your TV, you can purchase and install Plex on an Android TV Box (It plugs into the HDMI port) or use DLNA. The video below describes how to use DLNA.
I have now installed Plex on both my TVs and linked them to my PC. All works perfectly and with no need to add any TV storage. Hard to believe a free app works this well. Many thanks to "barry1010" and "Psalm Equipt", I hadn't heard of Plex before their posts. Cheers guys, it just shows the "The AnswerBank" works!
