Hi
Most of these NAS' have a Web type menus that can be logged to via the
Internet browser in order to configure the drive for your Network (read the
NAS manual. Once configured you should be able to Map the NAS or its folders
as Drives. You can download to it as a storage, i.e your computer does the
Download but stores the files on the Network Drive.
If you can not map the drive than your setting is Not correct, or the drive
is incompatible with your Network.

Hi
Depending on which browser you use. When you download use the browser's
capacity to Save to a folder of your choice and save it to a mapped folder
on the NAS.
