I don't know if there is an app that can do this but,
im looking for an app that can browse network drives on your LAN
is there such and app?
You can make a network folder available throughout the whole OS, either by using Resco Explorer, Total Commander, z2 PocketLAN or any other such solution.
I'm using all those programs, but i like to use PocketLAN for the network mapping part & for its network tools=)
thank you ill get those
Moved as not software release.
+1 for Total Commander.

Hi,
I need help on how to browse my home LAN. Weeks ago, with the previous rom, i was able to browse the LAN using total commander. Now that I've upgraded, i've tried in all the ways known to me, but never succeeded to.
I've tried using the File Explorer as explained in this tutorial, and it doesn't work: a balloon tip comes up saying that i "can't connect using the current settings" (i've already configured my gprs connection that works well with all other apps...wtf i need to configure then??)
I've tried using total commander, but here it says "error 53 while connecting" and then "error 0" ... The guy on TCce's support forum says that this means that the network path is not found, but it is not true.
I'm left to Resco file explorer, which i uninstalled some time ago coz i felt it was useless...
EDIT: Ok, i've isntalled Resco and it doesn't work! It finds my computer and shows its shares, but after having finished the procedure, the Network section doesn't show up at all! If I click on th enetwork shares button, the share i've just created is there, but clicking it, nothing happens!!!! I'M GONNA THROW MY UNI ON THE WALL!!
Please please please, help me solve without installing resco (even if I think that won't be a solution, too!)
and you didn't have to be connected in active sync when you were browsing the other computers? that's awesome! i have so much music to go through and i just do it upstairs! swwweeettt next on the to do list

Ummm what?
No i'm not connected to active sync... i don't understan what are you talking about...
i was able to connect to my networked computers with resco explorer 2005
Guys I've gotten this to work with the basic file explorer in wm6. The only problem I've found it that you can't open IP numbers but only the actual name of the computer I.e. your IP may be 192.168.0.6 but the computer name is Laptop1
If you "open path" from the menu \\Laptop1\ then it seems to work fine. hope this helps. I don't actually think you need resco. This work over wifi and actusync for me
yeah, that's what i discovered as well, but also resco is a much better file explorer, and from there you can just clock on netwrk/map drives, and blam!
it's pretty awesome.
Try this cab, it's Network Plugin for WM6 but i'm using this plugin in WM5 and work great http://www.4shared.com/file/28269154...5/NetPlug.html
I am having a hard time accessing shared drives on my file server. While connected via wifi (within my private network), using "File Explorer" I can use the goto option, but when I try by domain or IP it will say cannot connect to it.
I would like to have this option working. I am using the ROM listed in my sig.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi
I was wondering if its possible to map your phone as a network drive, i know you can do this vice versa with ES File manager but i was wondering if you could access your phone over a local network?
bump bump bump
Im not exactly sure what your after but is the 'websharing' app of any use?

thanks! that seems like what i wanted more or less, although it looks like you cant actually map it as a network drive, I just wanted a way to access the phones memory over wifi using windows explorer.
wifi file explorer may do the trick...
Ive tried wifi file explorer.. works wel! Im sure websharing is a slight step up with additional features and you can view using explorer window..?

I saw that this was an old post but I though i would answer anyway if you havn't found what you were looking for ^_^
Samba Filesharing adds your sdcard as a removeable drive in "Computer"
use "File Expert"
its free and have all the features, you are looking for ..
Samba Filesharing
As said earlier: You should look for Samba Filesharing (i found it somewehere on XDA, but not in X10 subforums). It does exactly what you're asking.
I'm using it alot. When at home, i simply enable wifi, which triggers Sambafilesharing to be enabled as well. Then, from PC i have a mapped networkdrive to \\android\sdcard.
On X10 the user and password can be changed.
It takes the IP adres from Wifi, if you map a network drive, then you may want to use static ip.
[Edit]
fileExpert is the other way round. You can acces samba shares with your phone. But TS wants to access phone as a drive.
That's it. Real handy. Good luck!

If you have a WHS Homeserver try WHS Mobile

I use Total Commander
Moved as not software release.
iv managed to use resco explorer and it allows me to access the network shares on my windows server 2003 machine, but only drawback is that i have to map to the shared drives manually before i can browse the shares.
I'm wondering if there's an application that will map a local android folder to a network share/drive.
The reason being is I want my other applications to be able to access files on my PC inside the native applications. I currently can browse my PC's shares via applications like ES File Explorer, but the shares you setup in file explorer apps are not available to other applications natively.
For example:
I would like to map the local android folder \\SDCARD\PCMusic
to \\PC\My Music
this would allow the native media players to be able to search the \\SDCARD\PCMusic folder and find everything contained on the PC over Wifi
(NOTE: I don't actually want to use this for music, I was just using an example)
I would love any suggestions you have!
Head on over to the Google Play Store and pick up a free app called Samba Filesharing. It will share the folders you set from your phone so your PC can see them in a similar way that your Xbox sees your media files on your PC. It's sweet.
It should be noted that doing this will run a service in the background of your phone to keep the files sharing alive.

This is the opposite of what was asked

I'm also trying to map a network share to a local folder on my mini android pc..
Surely there is a way to do this..??
Total commander and its accompanying module just do that.
@palmwangja: I don't believe it's true that TotalCommander will do it.
It can access network folders, but it does not map a network folder onto a local folder.
