Doesnt help if you can't even see the external harddrive in 'files' on chromebook - it doesn't show up at all

I just recently got a Chromebox, and I'm struggling with trying to find where to locate my external drives in the system files. By that I mean, I'm trying to utilize a 4TB external drive to save my game files on, but I have no idea where to find it. 'Files' doesn't show up in the System Files section.

I have a few questions about Chromebook peripherals, can I attach a CD reader? Can I attach a Ethernet adaptor if there is not one on the Chromebook already? How is a printer attached to it either wirelessly or hard wired? I'm a senior and I'm thinking of getting one to replace my windows laptop or I might get a Chromebox since I would like a bigger screen, thanks for your video and help.

Hi I connected mine to my Chromebook and was using it fine and it was working and I know you have to eject it to get it off the device or it will corrupt it but I accidentally hit the arrow to the left of the file name after uploading photos and I cant find it on my computer to eject it so I don't know if its ejected. Can you help me because its hard to do a google search for this scenario?
