I have very slow LAN transfer speeds over WiFi to my Windows 7 shared folders.
Using AndroidSMB client, I get a max of 500KB/s yet on WIFI WAN I get speed tests in the 30Mbit/s range.
I've had speeds of under 1MB/s before on my other devices, which makes me believe I likely have issues with my router settings and or how my Windows 7 shares are setup.
The Windows 7 computer is connected via Gbit LAN, and I have my whole drive shared with permissions only via a certain account.
What should I be looking at to improve my LAN transfer speeds on my Galaxy Nexus?
Any kind of help guys? I can't get more than 300KB/s on my LAN transfers
I've been using Samba Filesharing app from Playstore. Lets you set up a Samba fileserver on your gnex. Works with WiFi hotspot, so you don't even need your LAN. You can connect with Windows Explorer after assigning the sdcard as a network drive. All Explorer functions work normally, unlike MTP. I measured the xfer rate at about 2 megabytes/s via WiFi hotspot connection. Works beautifully for generally accessing files on your sdcard with Explorer.

Is it possible to browse folders on the PC which are setup as shared, using a router?
I can't find anything on the xda to browse networked pc.
i was wondering about that too. can you browse networked PCs via WiFi on the BA? can you browse the BA from another PC if it's on the network? i've tried making an ad-hoc connection between my BA and my pc using wifi. the seem to be connecting yet they can't see each other. i dunno if i've setup the wifi connection properly or not, but the BA is reporting that it is connected to the ad-hoc pc.
Is there any way I can transfer a file from my desire on froyo to my netbook, without usb cable or wireless router? I was thinking maybe it could be done through hotspot somehow.
What about Dropbox?
But the file is over 100mb. So yes I could upload it to dropbox and then tether my laptop and download it. But it would be a painfully long task. What's adhoc? Is that what I need? Can that be done on the desire?
doesn't your netbook have a card reader? or you can use Bluetooth but it's drain your battery really really quickly.
Try the free app called connectify (be sure to get the latest version) . It will make your notebook as a hotspot and you can connect to it va wifi from your phone. Then you can use one of the numerous wifi file transfer programs to transfer files.
Connect with wireless tether.
Install adb over wifi on phone.
adb connect 192.168.43.1
adb pull /sdcard/file.xxx
Or
Connect with wireless tether
Use filemanager on phone to browse to windows share, then copy from phone.
Or
Create a samba share on your phone and browse to it from PC.
I've not tried filesharing over hotspot on windows but I don't see why it wont work as long as you add it as a trusted network and have sharing on.
Anyone have an app to transfer to and from the phone via wifi which works faster than USB 2.0? I tried wifi explorer pro and airdroid but they were pretty slow :/
Try remote desktop (for Chrome) and for Android device!
that works fine for me, but I don't know is it faster than USB 2.0.
Try Airdroid.

Check out FileExpert. It's great for transferring over Wifi.
I have used ESFile Explorer to connect android to shares on my Ubuntu machine. It is not faster than USB, but is easy to setup and will do the trick. You can find it in the Play Market.

I can't figure out how to transfer over wifi without using web which doesn't help much since it bounces the file out of my local wifi and then back in (which is slow since my isp capped my upload at .7Mb/s)
Airdroid only works if your phone and computer is on the same network.

Hello.
I'm using stock rom/kernel and testing file transfer via WiFi through smb connection (ES File Manager and CifsManager connected to a Windows share)
With both apps the maximum speed I could achieve was 0.9Mbytes/sec, this is at least 6 times slower then phone's capability, because when testing internet speed when connected to the same wifi network I get expected 5Mbytes/sec.
SD card where files are being saved has 15Mbytes/sec write speed (tested with SDCardTester app) and the computer I'm transferring files from is also not the issue, it's connected to the router via cable and I have sustain file transfer speed between two computers of 90-140Mbytes/sec.
So it seems somehow SMB connection doesn't use all the available bandwidth. Any ideas why is that and how to fix it?
Thank you.

I'd suggest trying FX File Explorer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx). Gives me better SMB transfer rates than other apps I've tried.
Too bad it's not free when it comes to networking.
Since two different apps I've mentioned giving me exactly the same results, I kind of suspect it's not related to the app, but rather to the system...I know CifsManager is highly depend on the kernel and ES File Manager also doesn't work if certain features not enabled in the kernel.
Hi, I just wanted to know if there is a way around MTP or ADB for file transfer between my PC and my Nexus. I mean something that gives me a GUI and allows me to drag'n'drop from the explorer. Just an interface like USB mass storage devices have.
Is there something like this? I can't be the only one who needs to transfer big files over USB. MTP just sucks because every calculation about the files is made on the device and the device can't handle the amount of the files, so it collapses if there are too many files at once.
I have tried:
1. Share folder on the PC accessed with es file file explorer or solid explorer. This is smb which is slow on android due to ncifs? library.
2. WiFi hard drive (patriot gauntlet node) still slow.
3. New router with usb3 hd with smb and ftp servers. Smb still slow, ftp much better.
4. Yet to try ftp server on PC.
Can't post screenshot yet, getting 130 Mbps ftp, 13 Mbps smb. Asus rt-ac56u router as remote ap.

I already read about the "solution" over WiFi and I already have a little NAS of my router here which allows me to share files and streaming films and so on.
But this isn't what I want. I just want plug in my USB-cable and browse the storage (completely, not only SD card like over MTP) of my device.
Thanks anyway for your answer!
AirDroid or Droid over WiFi?
Wifi files transfer apps such as AirDroid, Pushbullet can help you. But the speed depends on the wifi network status.
