Yo!
i don't know, what exactly you need, but you can explore PocketPC with IE using file://\ in IE's address bar.

Why don't you browse with file explorer to the required location & copy the total path you get in the explorer bar to IE with file:// in front of it?
Cheers, M
that doesn't work.
I'm making a program for my thesis and it writes a txt file with machine calculations. That txt i want to store automatically on a ppc that's coupled with the machine.
be carefull when relying on storage card file paths. From my experience when you press the off button - after about 20-25 seconds the path becomes invalid. I think the ppc stops using it to save power. i wrote a little app that checks these paths and they have dissapeared for a while after power on.
Why is it easier for you to do this with ie rather than another way.
this works for a file on a storage card.
file://\Storage Card\myPic.jpg
do it with a pic to test, because if the file association on the album/viewer is on it will launch the pic so you can see that it worked. You cant browse this way, but if you know the location it can be of some use
But that's from the xplorer of the pocket pc !!
I want to explore my device true a desktop computer
The closest you can probably get is cecopy which is in the windows mobile developers powertoys. using this program you can copy files across like you would at a dos prompt.
eg cecopy C:\output.txt dev:\Storage Card\output.txt
so you could write into the program something that would call on this to copy the generated txt file across to a ppc. it can also be used to copy files back to the ppc.

I want to sync a folder from my PC with a folder on my SDcard...
It should automaticaly Sync over wifi in both ways... any Idea?
Dropbox works awesome, maybe not exactly the way you want it but it does the trick.

No it doesn´t because at first the Dropbox doesn´t copys the Files automaticaly on my SD and second I have at least 13 gigabytes of Music and only 8gb Dropbox space...
Maybe Doubletwist AirSync?
That one is more specific with working with Music/Photo/Video, if you're looking for something a little more generic for syncing, there's also a portable app called Toucan
Good luck.
The problem with Double Twist is that it doesn´t hold my folders as they are...
And the problem with Toucan... I can´t access my SD with that over Wifi... any idea for that?
Try "WebSharing", there is a lite and a paid version. The second one includes some extra options for videos and music I think, not sure on which are the differences, anyway, it works great for me!
You can simply share a folder on your PC and using a file explorer on your phone (I have tried this using Estrong file explorer) you can search the LAN for shared drives. Find the folder you have shared on your PC and access files from your phone.
Well, another method - this is the way I do it, but it requires root access on your phone.
If you have root access, then you can install an app "Samba filesharing". And, this enables to make the phone a samba server.
Then, you can simply connect to ip address of your phone (or the samba server name you specified) from your PC and seamlessly access/modify/delete files on the sd card all the time. I would even suggest mapping a network drive to make it even more convenient.
I would be also interested in a solution like that. Mainly for Music, but also for other stuff/files.
Here is what I tried out so far:
I looked into Double Twist (a cumbersome resource hog on my netbook and always crashing), Winamp Sync (playlist and not folder-based, lack of control on what is happening) and Wifi Music Sync (lots of bad reviews, people lost files and else).
Has anyone tried Sugar Sync? If I read their website right, it syncs first to their cloud, which is the last place, where I want my personal files.
The solution with Samba Server or ES Explorer works (I also tried a simple FTP setup with Filezilla on the Desktop and AndFTP or SwiFTP (FTP server on phone) and any FTP client on the desktop. Problem with those solutions, it's all manual.
So far nothing satisfactory. I'm with the OP on this one, a small, neat, small resource solution, where you simply define the folders to be synced, would be best. Any more ideas? Thanks so far!
Just my 2 cents (definitely an UGLY solution): I've been using Syncness to sync over wifi. It's not the worst solution and has the benefit of working both with locally shared network drives as well as dropbox.

Actually, i love syncness. I've been using it for a month now. It's not perfect, but it works well for me, like syncing my documents folder to my Milestone and DHD, and back.
Titanium Media Sync can do this - syncs all types of files (not just media) - search on market (I can't post a link)
mmm I go for Sugarsync....
I'm using PCFileSync and have no problems. It's always being updated.
I have Titanium Media Sync, and it works very well for syncing files to dropbox, but I would really like to set it up to work with ftp, so I could sync files straight to my computer. How do I set something like this up? I"m a super ftp noob

I believe what you are looking for is possibly The Missing Sync.
http://www.markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html
However, I have asked the developer questions and received no answers. There is a trial version available but i'm having issues which need answered by the developer. The software is not cheap at $35.00 single machine license.
If you decide to try it, let me know how it goes for you.
Here's my scenario:
2 computers, htc evo 3d (now trying on a galaxy tab).
Desktop and laptop sync the "My pictures" folder (1gb and growing) by using microsoft live mesh. And then, I have The Missing Sync reading the "My pictures" folder and syncing that folder to the Galaxy Tab SD card into a folder called "My Pictures".
Questions I have asked the developer (Ticket# 813081)
(1) Hi, Is there a file count limitations? I plan to use this to sync my pictures folder which has a couple thousand items (1,533 Files, 41 Folders, 1.48gb of data ) as of this moment and growing. This will be to a 32 GB microsdhc card in my evo 3d. Would there be any possible problems I should know about?
(2) Are there any file size limitations? (im aware of fat32 4gb single file size limit of the storage device) But does The missing sync have a file size limit of its own?
(3a) Does The Missing Sync Hash files for sync? If so, does it store temp files?
(3b) How does missing sync determine what needs synced around?
(4) I plan on adding a Samsung galaxy tab ... I'd also like to sync my pictures to it as well as the evo. 1 computer, two mobile devices. Is this possible with single license or will i need a multi license?
That's all for now. Thank you.

the issues i am having are that the whole process takes about 7 minutes from the moment sync is pressed, to any activity is noticed. And then, files start flowing, but 15 minutes later, it stops at random with very vague error log.
maybe you can try FolderSync
its many feature and powerfull

+1 for FolderSync. It lets you sync individual folders with Dropbox, with a Windows share, etc.
this is so simple
This is so simple why is there no app that does this, we don't want cloud storage to interfere all we need is a PC/Mac app where you can see your folders/files . Then you want to be able to select folders and files using a checky box ready to sync to ur android device.
Why do you need to select files/folders? Because when you have an mp3 collection of over 40gb you only want a small portion of this on ur android device. The app needs to ensure that ur android device always keeps in sync with the selected PC files so that if you ever add music to ur PC it will get added to android through the sync app.
Now does this app exist or am I going to have to learn to write an android app??

Look into cheetah sync app. Its the closest thing i could find that works for me.
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cheetah+sync
Its been working beautifully for me granted its not fully automatic and requires some configuring before it can do what you want it to do.
Good but its not quite right

No this is still not right, cheetah sync is just a small service that sits on your pc. you can't use it to select the files on your pc you want on your phone, everything has to be done with folder pairing on the phone. Now if I want to choose 10 albums that are in random locations on my hard drive that would take ages to do on my phone. On the PC this would be a simple task.(If the app exists!!!)
Hi,
I had deployed an application on my phone, unfortunately my hdd crashed and all source was lost. There is hope to recover the source if I can copy the deployed app from my hd7. Any bright ideas?
- make your phone visible in Windows Explorer as Zune device;
- using TouchExplorer, copy your dll to documents/pictures (you need to experiment), then copy from Zune drive to PC;
- use Reflector to restore your source code;
Browse forums for #1-2, google for #3
Is touchxplorer safe to use? Does it change modes on the phone to get file system access?
I did rather not use apps like dfrouter...
Yes, it's safe. You can revert everything back.
great app! to my surprise I was able to find all the install dlls for my app. To recover I just renamed them to txt which made the phone think its an office doc thus enabling the email option.
no need to mess with registry settings to turn phone into usb disk.
I"m using wpdm to transfer side apps ringtone to my hd7.
How do you get to transfer in the easiest way - songs from an android device to a fully unlocked Nokia Lumia 710?
also..
Where do the attachments in my hotmail get saved on my local phone storage? I have fully unlocked L710 and HTC Titan. Someone sent me a few clips attached to hotmail. I can play it from my email attachment but would like to find the folder where it is locally stored after download, and then be able to play the content from Zune. Is there any homebrew app for such file management? I have File Explorer, but don't know where these attachments can be found, then moved so that they are playable in Zune Hub.
this is a great question that I would also like to know the answer to. There has to be some way to mount the storage and manage it from a pc like you can with Android.

I did not really bother trying to find the answer. But someone who uses Android in my family tried to send me a few clips of music that I really really wanted to hear. Now ofcourse I have got it via bluetooth and that I can access. However, he sent a few more by email as my bluetooth transfer was slow. I had presumed I can find these songs in the same place. BUT nope!
However, here is my progress.
File explorer -> Applications data -> Volatile -> Email attachments -> go to each folder. Each folder represents one attachment.
So I was happy after posting this that I found where the attachments are.
However, when I copy and paste the same under my Zune contents, I cannot see it in my Zune Hub and cannot ofcourse play it from Zune hub!
Zune on the phone uses a database of media files. Merely moving your files under \My Documents\Zune\Content\* isn't going to help. The only way that I know of to add arbitrary files is to copy them to the PC, then sync them using the PC Zune software. Nobody has yet figured out how to do it more directly, although I'm sure it's possible.
Mounting the phone as USB Mass Storage is just not even vaguely likely to happen. The amount of driver writing and re-configuration that would be needed... I don't think you realize what you're asking for. There are deinitely options, though; for example, my Root Webserver app lets you browse the phone's filesystem (including uplodaing and downloading files) from your PC. You just have to use a web browser instead of a traditional file manager.

That does add some light to the scenario! Thanks!
So does that mean that even though we do have homebrew file explorers, we cannot really control our attachments i.e. sandbox issue? I have realised in last two days that our file explorer functionally isn't same as those traditional WM6.5 or Android ones. Hence theoratically speaking yes we do have file explorer but not to its full functionality..which leads me to another question. So ideally what do you use your file explorer for?
Aside from aiding my research and testing my hacks, here are a few things I use file browsers for:
Copying ebook files (.MOBI and .PRC) to the Kindle directory.
Manually editing the Marketplace configuration files (for example, some downloads are even bigger than the 200 MB that Marketplace Config will allow you to specify).
Freeing up space on the phone's storage (deleting temprorary files of my choosing, rather than simply purging the whole phone).
Backing up application data to my PC.
Turning music files into ringtones/alarms/etc.
A number of these can currently be automated using apps, and there are others that could be more useful to other people, but that's what I've found to be useful.
Content Transfer
Well I have been in same situation , I went with wifi transfer option,caz its quite secured and helpful for content transfer, like you can use smartIO App, which is good op

Is it possible to create something like a windows share folder with android so i can use my tablet with dock as sort of a laptop. I can access files from windows shares and from my server share (which is not windows) but it doesnt go the other way. I would also like to be able to transfer files to my GS3 Mobile from my transformer.
Right now my pc is in the shop and my trasformer is basically my new laptop as my last one just died and my desktop is in the shop (i dont want to get into it but i basically should have built my own desktop this time i didnt anyway...)
So yeah is it possible? other than say dropbox as currently thats the only type i can find to do such a thing. But i want more of a network share.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
If your tablet is rooted you could use "Samba Filesharing" app to share your SD as a windows network drive.
I don't know any apps that can do that without root priviliges though.
Another option would be sharing the SD content through an FTP server (I have no recommendations for specific programs though).

How do you set up your SD card as a network drive? I have Samba set up, but I can't access my sd card from there, I have to send things to the downloads folder in the internal storage

menu button -> settings -> Other Fileshare Settings -> Second Shared Folder is probably what you're looking for.
only caveat is that it only allows sharing of extra sd cards with vfat formatting, so it was a no go with my 64GB but worked fine with the 16GB I have.
I'm using an app called 'FTP Server'. Free and simple to use. Your android device will act as an FTP server once the 'button' is activated. Use a FTP client on Windows to enter the address, username and password. There's also a method of setting up a new network (via 'add a new network') to appear as a folder when opening up 'Computer' to see the list of your drives. However, I don't like that being visible all the time, hence the reason I just connect via a FTP client.
The only downside is that FTP isn't that secure. SFTP and FTPS is meant to be more secure. I don't know the specifics, maybe someone else with more knowledge can help inform you. I reckon it's fine for activating, transferring some files, then turning off.
