Network Storage access App

I was wondering if there were any network storage access apps out there for the N7. I'm not looking to stream to it, I'm mainly looking to see/access the files in their native format from my home server to my N7.

Search play store for smb
AndSMB works for me

Astro and ES explorer

Total Commander
With the LAN plugin

Has anyone tested which has the best performance?

FX File explorer one of my fav for accessing ftp and lan..
ALSO LIKE xplore.. dual pain explorer also good for ftp lan local Picassa and so on.. NEW to me but i love the dual pane switch thing in this one..
ES FILE ESPLORER Very popular tired and true by many as one of the best.
ASTRO One of the very first and has a app for anything add on modules .
The list can go on and on.
two not very popular are fx explorer and xplore .. give them a try .. My two fav.. For working with ROOT FILES NOTHING BEATS ROOT Explorer.. everyone who owns android should own this one..
Good Luck

ES Explorer
It has LAN, 6 different cloud storages that you can link, and it has root Explorer built in (enable this feature in options menu). I stream movies from my buddys NAS with this file Explorer. It's free, at least check it out.

Best Music Sync Application?

I've always been a doubleTwist user on Android but I was curious about other softwares that could transfer my music and playlists.
doubleTwist is fantastic application to transfer files but sadly the cable sync feature doesn't work on the SIII (or does it? Any suggestions)
AirSync with doubleTwist is fantastic as well, but my home WiFi connection is garbage so it takes too long to sync.
What are your favorite applications to sync music and playlists?

Google Music! Love it. I don't even use my ipod anymore

+1, Google Music all the way. I use easy ums app to transfer files or just stick my SD card in my Mac for faster transfer. I have used AirDroid before to transfer files and it worked very well and was fast even on my terrible wifi

Poweramp is not a sync application.. It's a player, and a damn good one.

MusicBee is BY FAR the best desktop music player I have encountered - both for use on the desktop and also for synching.
Much more intutitive and easy to use than MediaMonkey, etc., very full featured (has replaygain, fade, etc) and unlike a lot of other programs I have tried which tend to hang, crash of sync very slowly, it works easily every time.
Im surprised more people dont use it - it took me a while to discover this program and I think it rocks.

[Q] What is the best way to transfer files to a PC without a USB cable?

So I totally mangled my USB prong on my GN (taking the battery out to charge it is a pain!), and I want to transfer my pictures, ringtones, etc off of my phone to my PC. What's the best way to transfer this? I actually used Sweet Home to keep back-ups of my pictures, so that is fine, but there are a few other directories that I want to save. Am I best to use an online site (Box, Drive, etc)? Or is there an easier way to back-up via wifi?
Thanks! (Sorry if this has been answered, but search is down right now.)

If AirDroid is not your thing, you can try SwiFTP

it's in the google play store..
sorry for the terrible english.

yes +1 for airdoid it is great if you are on wifi. easier then setting up FTP i think

Airdroid. Took me 3 minutes to show my 68 year old mother how to use it. Doesn't get much easier.

Streaming from my PC to the Note 2

Hello there, I'm wondering if there's a way to stream my multimedia content from my PC to my Note.
I don't really like using Dropbox or other online storage services.
Is there a way to directly stream?
Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

Just share the folder on your network then access it using es file explorer or some other explorer that allows lan file discovery

If you want to actually stream the content, not just make it appear in es explorer and such, look into upnp/dlna.

Tversity always works great. Moboplayer(play store free) will stream if the phone doesnt do it by default.

Try remote media center (play store). You can access your content while on your home wifi and also over the mobile data network. It is used along with remote potato server that you install on your pc. This setup works flawlessly for me.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium

I believe Plex also allows. Access outside the home does it not? But one would assume that using streaming in that matter outside the home must devour your data.

Real Racing and NFS MW

OK, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and these 2 games aren't compatible. I've purchased NFS already from another device. Is there any build.prop mod I can do to get them back in my play store? I miss my 2 racers.

I'm here to tell you that the game works perfectly on our phone, its just not supported in the appstore. If you have downloaded it, go to you're "Product" that has the game, back it up and side load and install on your phone..
In short, side load the app legally and you'll be good!:good:

Transferred Real Racing over from my Nexus 7 but NFS MW wouldn't back up via ES FILE EXPLORER. Lol. So still no Need For Speed.

Try backing up only the APK for NFS MW then installing it on your E4GT. Don't try to transfer the downloaded packages, let me know what works!

Here go into data/apps/ and find the NFS MW and try to copy it into your sd card. Or since i have it too just pm me and I can message you my version

for me (on my Galaxy Nexus *wrong device i know, just read*) i had to put my com.ea.games.nfs13_na folder in /sdcard/Android/data to get the game working right when it failed to show up in the Play Store

I actually flashed AOKP and then the games showed up in the playstore. I downloaded and made a TB and reflashed GB27 and restored the apps and they run perfectly. Bit of a hassle though IMO
