Hey guys, does anyone know if there is an app for the android phones where i can access my shared folders from my windows desktop ??? (the folders which are shared using the right click method in windows xp pro specific)
i can make them accessible through ftp but i use sharing with my laptop and i want to use it with my phone if possible!!!
Estrongs file explorer does windows shares/ftp/bluetooth browsing and streaming. Its free
hmm nice one, i found it on cyrket but it seems that avi files cannot be opened yet but good one...i won't be watching movies over my pc any way cause of the slow connection. thanks vman81
Are you asking for the ability not only to share the files but to stream media files from device to PC?
I love Dropbox! Super easy and you can access your files from your Android device or ANY computer.
Ehm, EStrong File Explorer is very interesting ... Anyone is using it?

If yes, do you think that we still need to have ASTRO? Because I read ASTRO is a very good file manager and app manager, but it does not support this kind of network access (browsing shared folder).
And I dont like to keep 2 similar apps, if you know what I meant.
Thanks

I think ASTRO is mostly for doing stuff like installing apps you have downloaded on your computer, though I dunno whether the other mentioned file explorers give you the possibility to do that as well.

In the other hand, you can just install an other application manager if you don't want 2 file managers

It's a file browser, they're not really going to be that different. So the answer is no, if you want to use the EStrong one you wont need to have Astro installed too.
Try AndroXplorer v.3!

I'm trying to use Astro (with SMB Module) to move some files from my phone to my PC. I am able to access the files in my PC using Astro but I cannot copy or move any files. I just want to move a video file from the Evo to my PC.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help in advance
E strongs file explorer works great for file transfers using the p.hone. Or websharing for accessing and modifying files from your computer remotely.
Also your problem could be your network shares are set to read only without write access.

+1 to this
It's most likely permission issues. You could test using an admin share to confirm.
I would like to have some kind of connection in both ways between a directory in my PC and directory on my HTC DESIRE.
Now i'm actually using DROPBOX but it's kind slow, sluggish....
Found ASTRO also, is it good, anything better,easier?
Thanks
Well found also ESTRONG FILE MANAGER...which to choose?

I've used both and decided to keep ES File Manager; it seems to deal with network/ftp shares better than Astro, in my opinion anyway. There were a few other reasons, but can't think of them at this point (!)
maybe cause ES is free?
Personally I use Astro as a filemanager because ES looks terrible. For moving files to my phone I use wifi file explorer.
There must be all in one, right?
i haven't found a thread about it and i'm searching for this by 2 months, i'm want some kind way to browse my internal memory by pc, if there's a way, name it please. And have another question, i already have root me play and installed Astro, IO and ES Explorer but no one haven't asked for superuser permission, cuz i want to to change the apk file from psemu native and i need this permission, if someone can help, don't hesitate, please.
adb pull is your best bet to copy internal memory to your pc to browse it.

Going into your phone via SSH should allow full access, since you have root. The app needed on your android is QuickSSHd ($1.49 btw). On your PC, download WinSCP then link them up.
Or if you want to explore the root partition from your phone, use Root Explorer ($3.99)

anyway TS, to add on your choices, try 'wifi file transfer pro' https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransferpro&feature=search_result
works like a root explorer, but this is for PC, browse or upload/download to/from your android file system..

I've personally used WinSCP on my android, so yes. Works brilliantly
Hi all, I'm using ES File Explorer. Sometimes when I delete a file by using the Nexus itself and afterwards plug it into my computer and I browse using Windows Explorer, the file that was supposedly deleted would still show up. Does anyone know why this is?
its a ES explorer problem?
does any one know a better file explorer?
thankyou
Root Explorer is my favorite.

Probably Windows Explorer is not properly refreshing file/folder listing of your phone. Common problem with the MTP protocol.

I just tried with root explorer, on my brothers nexus... im thinking its a nexus problem,
try it out,
delete any file using your nexus, and look for it using windows explorer immediately after deleted the file on yor phone.
on ES explorer/Root explorer, you wont see the file, but it will stay there on windows explorer

I'm going to say it's a problem with Android's current implementation of MTP. Other MTP/PTP devices such as digital cameras or media players work fine with Windows, in general.
I don't know a way of getting this fixed. Read the guide I link to in my signature for workarounds/more info.

Nice one. If it works for you, it's good.
What is the best file manager, where I can look at all my files on my SD card - and also delete them without connecting up to a PC?
Also trying to delete that stupid Elysium trailer.
What is the best app?
Thanks.

Total Commander, ESFile Explorer and Solid Explorer are amongst best android file explorers.
file manager
root explorer, root access is required, it help u to explore all of file in external/internal memory and ex-sdcard
it can work fine without root access but cant del file in internal memory. it work fast than every file explorer but ui is very simple
ESFile Explorer for me, rooted required.
Tried Astro and ES Explorer.
ES is much better, perfect. It lets me delete stuff, and is very slick. Also, no adverts (that I seen) unlike Astro.
Thanks.
I can not miss the opportunity to plug Total Commander. The Best file manager for Windows and Android.
The crazy bastards even support Windows 3.11 .
