Acess computer trough phone?

Is their a way to grab files from your computer on your phone wirelessly?

I would also be interested in a solution for this on a linux machine.

Vincent.apk available in market lets you wirelessly sync to a samba share. Since it is samba, no third party server is needed. Just share the folder in windows or create samba share in linux.
also ES File explorer lets you browse shares in your network. good for getting single files.

Try this app

By far the slickest way of controlling media on your pc or xbox1 or Linux box...
Install XBMC
Get XBMC remote from Google Code
It's superb.

OMG YOU ARE THE BEST THANKS SO MUCH 100% what im looking for

WiFi File Manager

I'd like to get an opinion on what's the best WiFi File Manager app around as I'm always transferring media i.e photos etc back and forth from my DHD to pc and vice versa and it would be better not having to use a usb cable and using a quick and simple way over WiFi would be better.

if it's small files then I use Bluetooth.
For larger things I use ASTRO file manager with the SMB module, then i can browse my Laptop or PC folders via my phone.

I couldn't get SMB Module to work. Best I have found so far is Estrongs with the built in WiFi file Manager. Can simply view the contents of your pc from phone and copy and paste onto phone.

What about MyPhoneExplorer
IMO excellent piece of software that allows connection via cable, Bluetooth and WiFi
And its free

Dropbox!

i use "file expert" for nearly everything.
but i also have SSHDroidPro in case i wont to log into my phone or use e.g. winscp or scp to trasnfer file from/to sitting at my pc.

Websharing is the one for me

LOL wtf..
Just make sure you have a shared folder on your Win7 machine (create something like Android transfer and share with 'Everyone')
Use ES File Explorer to set up a Server on LAN tab
job done

[APP] Samba Fileshare - Wireless access to Android

Found this on the Nook forum by user colorado_al. Works great on my Gtab (vegan b5)

I believe Es File Explorer app does this as well. I however want to connect android to android on LAN wifi but haven't found any app to do this

I could be wrong, but I don't think ES Exp allows you to browse your GTab from a PC. Haven't tried to android to android though.

I use Wireless File Transfer from the market. Works great. From pc to phone and vice versa.

Works great thanks for [email protected]

Works great, free, easy set up, password protection, and auto enable.
Back ups are a snap now.
Thanks!!!

Bluetooth File Share is similar and my personal favorite because it can package apps into apk's and send them via BT android to android.

Mount smb share

How to mount smb share with Nexus 6 on android 5.1.1 ?
to be able to stream from different applications

I do it with ES File Explorer.

They won't work for what he wants. That would only be available in ES, not for example, power amp.
However, he could launch media files from the explorer itself.but its a bit of a pain

You would be best mounting using CIFS but I think you'll need a custom kernel to support it

That's what I do. You do need an explorer anyway to search for the files. Look up the file, tap it, select the app that will open it. I don't see how that's a pain, it's the same as in any other computer, basically. Alternatively, the player app itself has to support it, like Dice Player but I don't use that as much cause the sorting options suck.

Well, if you use poweramp for example, you can mount your NAS as a CIFS share to a local folder on your SDCard, then you can use the app's built in media library / browser to play the music, which is much easier for those who use that sort of thing. Its certainly fewer steps, however, it has it's own downfalls too.
