Hey there
Is there a way to access my phone's SD card when only connected via wifi? At best mounting the SD card as a drive like in usb mode. (tricking the phone into thinking it's on a cable, maybe?)
This would be so superb
Cheers
It's not exactly what you asked for but I use SwiFTP, I can browse in Firefox quite easily.
See this thread.

Its the extended desire console. The part you want to use is the samba share.
When you have this installed you can access your desire the same way you would access files on another computer over your home network.
Search the market for WiFi File Explorer. I bought the Pro as its cheap... works perfectly!

Anyone know how I would go about mounting my EVO's sdcard on a pc wirelessly? Thanks.
bluetooth?
lol, yes that is a question
Bluetooth File Transfer from the Market works well for me, although obviously your PC has to have Bluetooth as well. I bought a cheap Bluetooth dongle for my laptop.

I just use dropbox. drop the file you want on your dropbox folder then go to your phone, find that then download it and your good
Drop box is a necessity that or sugar sync basically same thing. I use it for all my side loaded apps so they are always ready when I flash a new rom.

why not use a2sd? (apps 2 sd)
Ive tried most of the solutions mentioned. I'm particularly looking to be able to access my EVOs sdcard either through a mounted drive or windows share wirelessly. Its important I can access it in this fashion because I work on computers all day and would like to be able to carry my drivers collection around with me. Its nice to be able to just point a machine to a drive share load the appropriate drivers. FTP, Dropbox and WebDAV solutions just to make this process efficient for me.
EStrongs File Browser is nice how it can browse PCs on the same subnet but I would like to do the same except browse my phones storage from the PC side via a share.
If you used something like dropbox you wouldn't need to use your phone at all just load up your dropbox with all of them and then just log on to the dropbox website on the computer you need the drivers.
I would think that anything that would make so you could wirelessly push files from your evo to a computer, would require a program or driver installed or a Bluetooth dongle, and that would take most of the point of away
you can always just carry around a usb cable and do it that way.
do a bluetooth file transfer, that usually works for me
try android desktop it is a small websserver on your phone it allows you to access your phone through the pc web browser. free from ao store. Blue tooth is fairly slow on large files. with the desktop you should be able to use the wifi or 3 g.
I had it in my Nokia, so simple.
Is there a way to open and transfer the files at my DHD through my PC via Bluetooth?
I hate this cables that I need to plug in just to transfer 3MBs..
I want to make this "Removable Disk [E]" but via Bluetooth connection,
not sending file like (right click > share > bluetooth, and then it sends to my phone)
I want a full access, opening my DCIM folder, deleting files, and renaming..
Is there a software or app to make it?
I could do it very easily with my old N95 with its software "Nokia PC-Suite",
I could just enter the software (through keyboard shortcut that I made), and few seconds later, by no touching, no connecting any cable, it would open my phone's folder.
I miss that easy life
How can I do it here too?
Thanks,
Yarden.
There is similar apps called Wifi Explorer Pro...as it name states, it uses wifi though...if it suits you, it can explore, download or upload any files from and to your desire hd...using wifi...much faster than using bluetooth though...i hope it helps you

Use MyPhoneExplorer and wifi. It's what I do to sync contacts, calendar and files.

First of all thank you for your replies.
But both apps aren't really what I'm looking for,
I'll explain my self again,
I want a pc software (not necessarily) that when I open it, it searches via bluetooth (or as new as you teached me, via WiFi), for my phone and open its files, like it would do if I plugged the USB cable.
That it gives me a new drive (C,D,E,F...) with all the mobile contents (folders, music, pictures ..etc)
I use web sharing it gives me full access to my sd card.

How exactly do you do that?
you mean like on the windows 7 "Homegroup"?
can you explain please how to use it?
Does anyone know of any good apps to use for this? I used to have one for my G1 but it stopped working, got renamed, and I can't remember what it is now. Basically an app where I can take files from my PC and send them to my phone over my LAN using my phone's WiFi. The program I used before did this through my web browser on my PC and it worked fantastically while it lasted. I have Dropbox and I thought this was a feature, but either I'm not figuring out how to make it work or it's not.
Thanks!

Have you tried placing a file in your Dropbox folder on your PC, then accessing it through the Dropbox app on your phone?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Well that works obviously, however it doesn't transfer via LAN. It uploads it to the Dropbox server then downloads it from there when I grab it on my phone. While this works, it is also a time consuming process because Dropbox limits, at least my, download bandwidth from my phone. I can upload at about full speed (close to my 5 mbps upload) but my download isn't fast at all (will only download at about 100 kb/s when I have a 50 mbps download line). The reason I'm looking for LAN is because it is the fastest option available.
I'm looking for something like this to. I move stuff between my Transformer and g2 alot. Dropbox is nice but I want to get rid of the middle man.

you could just use one of the abd over wifi apps, that's what I do and it works well.
no spiffy web ui or anything of course and transferring via adb push/pull can be a little cumbersome, but it's easy enough (and fast).
Details on how to do this?
I use AndFTP. You might have to set up an FTP server on the receiving machine, but it allows multiselect and browses quite easily. It also has SFTP and you can connect over WAN as well.
Another option would be bluetooth file exchange, which might be built in at this point. You'll probably have to pair your device so that your computer can recognize the BT service. It's a bit slower than wifi! I know that Linda file manager and the OI/CM file manager support it. Long press the file and select send/send to bluetooth. To send from computer to phone, you'll need sumpthin sumpthin on your PC.
I put stuff on my NAS and the use CifsManager to access the drive over the network.
I think the best way to do this may be with Samba, and I used to use astro filemanager with the samba plug in to do this, but it just force closes on Gingerbread
Samba Is The Best!
Samba is by far the best way.
I personally use this app: Samba Filesharing
It runs a native samba server on the device.
I then have a drive letter mapped to my phone so i can simply access my sd card with any pc application without wires.

Try ES File Explorer
It does it all: basic file explorer, copy/paste, local or SD card or LAN and FTP, etc
One app to do it all
WiFi File Explorer is the app I use.
Turn Wifi on the phone, via web browser open the url (typically something like http://192.168.1.XXX:8000) and then you can transfer/delete/modify/create files on your sd card via your LAN.

Hello,
Is it possible to access the SD card of my Wildfire using an established bluetooth connection with my Windows 7 system?
Thanks!
As nobody has answered....... i cant really help as this is something ive never even thought about but i am a heavy user of ESfile manager which has some kind of bluetooth integration in its settings along with ftp etc,maybe this can help you but i wouldnt know where to start,sorry. regards slym.

That's interesting. Even my old Nokia phone had this functionality. Well, I will look into your mentioned file manager.
removed.
OK....I have this problem I can't seem to figure out. I have the media hub. I have tried to connect internet 'through' then hub. It will NOT connect to my home WiFi, using my asus tf300t and nexus 7 2013. The hub will reboot (I have tried everything and followed directions to a T) It will not connect. The 3rd light doesnt come on (no internet).
I've tried it also with my note 2....to connect WiFi......it won't do it.
Here's the kicker......I turn on my hotspot via my note 2 and do the directions again to the T.....and I have internet connect into my hotspot!!!!!!! ( tried on both tablets).....WHAT GIVES..... I am completely not knowing why....
(I have not tried a different WiFi source yet) like my work or some other WiFi.....could it be that I simply can't with my home WiFi?
This is very disheartening.

Another explorer?
amazing devices indeed, and nice review that answers a lot... still I have two inquiries
is it possible to access the devise using another file explorer like the "ES file explorer" on android?
is it possible to connect the device to my home wifi network like all of my devices, and then access the device trough my home network like a network disk drive? i.e without connecting to the sandisk wifi network directly
thanx in advance

Sorry to disappoint when you see a response....but those questions I have aswell....and hopefully someone(s) will have answers
The drive is accessible through it's own App/explorer which you need to install, not outside file explorers. It can be connected to your wireless router at home and setup to be as a path-through router, but the files are only visible when you install Sandisk app with it's file explorer. In theory, it's a media streaming devices for your phones and tablets, and to enable that you need to install their app.
Sandisk wireless drive USB connect with ES file explorer
ES file explorer has full access to the Sandisk connect wireless wifi USB drive.. It is simple. Use newest firmware:
(unable to paste as link) kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12876/~/sandisk-connect-wireless-flash-drive-support-information
I use a Nexus7 2012 running Lollipop factory unrooted.
Upload, download, multiple files, etc . No restrictions as in sandisk app. Only problem I have noticed are screwed photo thumpnails.
- connect to drive wifi
- open sandisk app / connect drive / goto settings
- copy web URL (e.g. 175.xx.xx.xx/wdf)
-Open ES file explorer newest release, goto Network / network
- tap + for new server
- add new "webdav " server. Paste copied URL. Standard port 80
- When on a shared network you have to supply the standard user name "owner" and your password
- thats it!
Enjoy!!!

Please forgive me, but does that mean OTHER apps can store files directly to the device without interaction with the Sandisk s/w?
I want to record video in clips of 2 or 3 minutes in a non stop loop, but I have Nexus 5 with 16 GB, so that's not enough by a long shot, and the phone needs to be powered by external source, so USB HOST storage solution is out of the question.
Please let me know, thanks.
