Can this connect to shared files on a network?
I have an external hard drive connected to my network, as well as files on my desktop i would like to play through the Chromecast. Can the device connect to these shared folders on the network to play these files?
Yes, if you are streaming from the device (iPad, iPhone, tablet, PC, etc) and from a supported app. If you can stream it in the chrome browser from the network it will also be able to send it to chromecast. The chromecast device must connect to some intermediary device (listed above) and have a qualifying app or browser to send the content to.
Hope this helps.
