My Mac desktop unformatted its startup disk recently, so im trying to use a time capsule to back up my pictures and files onto my windows laptop. I tried using a USB to USB-C cord to connect it, but it isnt showing up on any part of the computer, not on the files, or on the macdrive11 software im using to try and port it.
The USB port on the Time Capsule is there for only two reasons.......
1) To add a USB hard drive for additional storage.
2) To add a USB printer
As Niel correctly states.....the Time Capsule connects to a network using Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Please keep in mind that the Time Capsule uses an older.....and insecure protocol called SMB1.0....and Microsoft has disabled SMB1.0 in Windows for some time....for good reason.....starting with Windows 10, I believe.
I am not recommending that you do this, but it is probably still possible to enable SMB1 on the PC.
The Time Capsule can't connect to a computer over USB through any publicly-available method. Use Ethernet or wireless instead.
