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.

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.
Question: How to access a network drive with DHD in a specific case (i.e. no Nas)?
Setup of network(drive)
A 300n wlan router is setup and all devices (2 laptops, 2 DHD's) connect to it via Wifi.
The router has an USB port, to which I connected a general external HDD (no network disk, just your average cheap external WD disk).
The router lets me share this external disk within the Wifi network.
On my WIN7 machine it is mapped (map network drive, assign drive letter and put in: \\192.168.1.1\shareddrivename\)
Username and password has been setup as well.
Probably important to realize, it is no Nas, its just the router letting me share this disk.
In win7 I can view and use the drive without a problem.
How can I use it with my Desire HD?I have looked, but ESfile expoler and smb plugin for astro do not give what I need, or I am clueless as how to set it up properly.
Easiest way I've found is to either use the dlna stuff from HTC to share media OR setup an FTP server and use an android FTP client most nas devices should also work via FTP protocols

Pretty much same setup with the phone.
With ES File Explorer go into LAN tab and go Menu -> New -> Server and there you can setup ip address and password and should work just like on your W7.
Let us know how you go.
Well....the problem is, it is just a external hdd shared via the routers' usb port.
It is not a nas and it sits on the routers ip address (192.168.1.1).
Dlna is not then intend.
I just want to be able to use the disk as I can do in WIN7.
With ES file explorer, I can not access it.
Any other thoughts?
Basically, I want to know if it is possible to map a network drive?
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.
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.
Well for about now, the only way to transfer data between two mobiles is Bluetooth. Infrared has gone for a long time and despite we don’t use it much, still sometimes we have to use it to transfer small size photos or Music. The real reason why we hate transferring large files via Bluetooth, is because it is not that much fast. You will get a 200kbps rate, not fast enough for files of 1GB or even 100MB, they will consume a lot of time to transfer them.
In Past, we share an article about using ES File explorer to Stream movies from PC, today we will share how to transfer very large files, in terms of Bluetooth, within Android devices using ES File Explorer. Since ES File Explorer has the option to connect to an IP for data transferring, without having any Access point to connect, using a concept of Wi-Fi Direct. All you need is Two or More Android devices with ES File Explorer installed on both of them and your Android device must be running Android 4.1 or Above.
How To Transfer Large Files Between Android Devices
First of all we need to Create a Personal Hotspot, no need to connect to any external Hotspot.
Go to Setting, Select More under Wireless and Network Settings, Tap in Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Set the Password if you want, and also set the SSID name.
Now connect the Devices using that Wi-Fi Hotspot, just make sure you have the Dynamic IP, not the Static one.
Once the devices are connected, Open ES File Explorer.
Select the File/Files in ES explorer,either Tap the 3 Dots or the option key in your device and Tap Send.
If the devices are successfully connected, you will see the IP or the Second Android device on the List.
The other device will see the Notification. Once accepted, the transfer speed will be more than 3-5Mbps, you can transfer a full HD movies in a matter of Minutes.
You can minimize the Transfer if you want to do anything else.
You can do the same with more Android devices, I mean more than Two.

Try fast file transfer it's faster than super beam and it doesn't use any mobile data or wifi data (if you want to test try sending a file with mobile data and wifi off)

I believe Fast File Transfer uses the same WiFi connection itself. You have to connect to hotspot.
Superbeam can transfer files between PC and device too.
