How do I access pocket pc from run window in windows (Start Menu> RUN). I mean, how can I find the IP of my pocket pc or the drive letter!?
Oh! Now I see what you mean! Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no UNC path to the device's file system. There is a file around here somewhere that lets you use the device as an external drive and I'm guessing that shows up on the PC as a drive letter, if that's of any help. But without any help, the only way I've ever known to access the file system is through the RAPI API programmatically or via ActiveSync for explorer. Sorry for the earlier confusion. If you want to check out that file, it should be easy to find with a search.
Hi, have been trying to share content on a Seagate freeagent external drive and access it with es on my transformer, so far no luck. I should mention that I have the drive plugged into a pogoplug device that works just fine withe the app provided but doesn't allow you to copy folders back and forth. So I figured try out es, can anyone tell me how to configure es to see the drive? Or even if its possible. Many thanks for Any help submitted. I did give es the IP of the drive/pogoplug but no luck.

I have my seagate plugged into the USB of my Asus router..
I had to go into the control panel of the router and set permissions for access to the drive..
Then transfer this log in name and password into Es explorer, plus of course the i.p..

Thanks for your reply, I will dive in there and see if I can do anything with my router. I could be back.

what i can suggest is you connect your drive to your pc and share it then use ES, go to lan and connect to your pc and then you should be able to see your shared drive.
if you are on a mac i cant tell you how to share it,
so if you using a windows machine,
you can go to my computer -> right click on the external drive and select the sharing.
next you just have to find out what your private ip is.
you can do this by pressing the windows key + "r"
a window will pop up, type "cmd" then click "ok"
a black window pops up then you type "ipconfig"
a bunch of adaptors will show up just look for the words
IPv4 address...: 192.168.1.200 (it'll be in the format xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa)
once you got that you can use ES to go explore the share drive
click on the Lan tab, if it's not showing go to setting to enable it.
click new ->server ( you can try scan but sometimes doesnt work)
under server type in the ip address of your pc the one you just found.
fill in the user name and password of your pc. then you are good to go.
you should then be able to see all your shared folders on your pc including the shared external drive.
Or you can just get a NAS and that would make data sharing within your home network so much easier.
Tablet shows up as storage drive but will not allow drag and drop. At least not completely.
If I drag over and drop a folder onto the tablet, only the folder and any folders inside the folder will transfer. Nothing inside the folders will move, so it just stalls out.
I've also installed Kies, and get the same results. I'm clueless at this point. What should I look for now?
Calibre won't upload books either and gives no errors.

Can you give us a few more details....... What is your computers OS, what model tablet do you have 8013?, 4.0.4 or 4.1.2, What kind of files (avi, apk, mp3, mp4, doc, text)
Hard to help without complete details.

Windows 7, 8013, 4.1.2
Files: epub, mobi, .jpg, .opf etc.
Nothing will transfer. Nothing from Calibre, Kies or drag and drop. Yet all those applications successfully connect to the device.
I can make new folders on the tablet but that's it.
Calibre just popped up an error that says it can't communicate with the device. Which seems odd, as it shows connected status.

In Calibre does the note 10.1 show up on the top icon bar as a black icon labeled "device"
If so right click on it and then click on "configure this device" you will need to tell calibre what kind of files you want to transfer to the tablet like pdf, epub, mobi. Then you need to choose what folders you want to transfer your book files to on your tablet.
If you can not see the black tablet labeled device make sure that your usb is set to "connect as a media device (mtp)" and not set to "camera (ptp)"
Oh..... can you see the tablet in Windows explorer.... it should be the last item in Computer, it will be after all or your hard drives and cd drives. It should be listed as "GT-N8013"
Let me know what you see so we can continue.

Black icon, check!
Right click to configure, fail.
It gives an error because it's running a job. The job runs infinitely because it's trying to get the list of books on the device but it can't see it, apparently. Yet as I said before, it does connect to it =\
Yes the Note shows as a storage devise in Windows. But drag and drop will not work.

Are you rooted?
have you tried to transfer file with a free app called AirDroid in playstore. I like it better than Kies

Not rooted yet. I just got the Note yesterday and I want to get a feel for stock first.
I'll look into AirDroid, thanks for the tip.
I've just started using DropBox and moved a few books. I just wish I could take them out of DropBox and put them on my device =\

What book reader are you using and why can't you put books on you Note from dropbox?
Your drag and drop issue is on your windows7 computer correct? In the past I had drag and drop issues with some apps on my win7 computer and I had to do a reinstall of the OS to fix my issue.
.
Today I plugged it into another computer, it recognized right away. Open it, drag and drop a file boom, it copies.
Go back to my machine toss Ubuntu on for dual boot. It recognizes it no problem. Open it, drag n drop a file, no go.
Seems like some kind of hardware issue.

If you have a home WIFI system, you might consider installing a file manager like ES File Explorer that supports SMB. You don't have to be rooted to do it and once you input your home network settings you can transfer files wirelessly. It's much more reliable than Samsung's Kies software.

I use DropBox and ES File Explorer but that doesn't solve my issue of needing direct access via USB cable.
And besides that, broke things need fixed
Why do you use Kies?
Opens up on my PC like 2 removable discs... Tablet and card. Drag and drop files I want to copy...
Solved the problem. Bought a Mac, installed Android File Transfer, awesome ensued. PC is now a curb ornament.

Dont want to turn on a mac vs windows war here but whats the deal ????.. you dont need any software to connect to windows
Obviously USB mass storage does not work in mac or windows..
(I use both and each has there own advantages )
Edit : did not read the full thread.. Guess its just a driver issue... I can say -" windows suck with drivers " . Love mac for that

There is some major bull****tery with Windows, my hardware and my GN 10.1
It connects, pops up as a drive and file transfers work on two other Win7 boxes. I did everything imaginable to get it to transfer on my ex main pc. It would show up as a drive, I could click it and see all the files but when trying to transfer files, it was a no go. It would try. A window would pop up and the progress bar would show but then stop and not transfer anything.
Just to clarify a few things.
- INTERNAL FORMAT.
- will turn your old internal sdcard storage space into regular internal storage space. (meaning it will not show up as an sdcard anymore but will still be available for the phone to use as regular internal storage)
- will encrypt your sdcard. (meaning it will no longer work on other devices) (this sux because ppl use it for backup but i have a fix)
- your new sdcard will appear as an internal sdcard (replacing the default one created using internal storage)(this means it's automatically used and supported by all apps, not just those with custom sdcard settings)
- EXTERNAL FORMAT.
- will function much like sdcard did in android 5.0.
- some builds are experiencing write permission errors. (cm13 for example most apps won't be able to use external card making it almost useless)(es file explorer and many root apps may still work.
If I missed any of the main functionally changes please let me know and i'll update accordingly.
- Solution to the "I want a backup for my data in case my phone breaks, but i like the idea of the internal storage feature."
- The solution i've come up with is a handly little app called syncme wireless.
- Steps to setup SyncMe Wireless to regularly backup your sdcard data onto a PC. (you can also use cloud devices but i am opposed to cloud services so i'll be showing this method here)
- Since i think windows is most popular and it's what i'm on i'll use it as an example. There are many exhaustive file sharing guides for setting up your permissions for network share on the internet available already so I will not be exhaustive, i'll just include basic setup instructions.
1. create a folder you can access easily, the desktop is a good place for it if you don't have administrator rights.
2. right click the folder click share with - > specific people. (if sharing is disabled enable it)
3. make sure you have read and write access. (the windows account you have the password to)
4. once folder is shared install syncme wireless on android device.
5. on windows device push windows key + r at the same time or go to start menu and click run.
6. type cmd and ok.
7. in command prompt type ipconfig.
8. make a note of your computers IP address. (it's ok if your dchp server changes your ips and it's not static syncme will take a note of your mac address and use that to identify your pc in the future after first connect)
9. open syncme wireless on your android device.
10. click ad computer.
11. your computer may show up automatically, if not click the menu icon and click add computer again, here you can manually add your computers ip address. (this is because some routers block scanning)
12. Click on User and type your WINDOWS LOGIN USERNAME that has permission to access the files on your pc.
13. click password and type your WINDOWS LOGIN PASSWORD that applies to the username you used.
14. once your computer is setup the rest is pretty self explanatory, click on the setup computer to add a sync folder, you can sync everything or just specific folders. You can set it to run at night when you're sleeping every night so you always have an sdcard backup on your computer, and if something happens to your phone you can reformat your card and copy the files back.
15. you can manually run folder pairs as well by clicking the folder pair and clicking run. I use this to send files to my phone over wifi, just add files to a folder that is setup in a pair, then run that folder pair sync, and the files will show up on your phone without having to plug in cables.
any suggestions or requests for help i'll try to add and respond to asap but I am not on here every day. Just wanted to help people solve the issue i had with cm 13 so more people can get into using it as a daily driver and support its development.
Hello guys,
Is anyone facing the problem to move and transfer from Android phone to computer system? Does anyone solve this issue? I am also facing the same problem. I want to transfer large size files (movies) from my Android mobile to my laptop. Give me some solutions to move data between phone and laptop without USB cable.
Do it wirelessly by means of LAN drive.

Will it require internet? Is it safe app?
Edit: I don't think any free app are working. You may need to use USB cable to transfer data.
Can't you do that via USB cable in MTP mode? If no, try to ask for help from a third-party program. Usually, such tool can help us to access videos and other data on the Android phone and transfer them to the computer easily. My suggestion is Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its backup function can help us do that easily and for free. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.

You need to load the Windows driver to do that.
Windows may already have a driver.
Example, if you have a Samsung installing SmartSwitch loads the driver. After the driver is loaded...
go to Disk Management, and scan for new devices. If the Android drive(s) are shown access them directly in this window. You can transfer files and folders.

The backup function is free to use.
Upload the data to your Google Account to then use them on your computer.
Use a chat app that’s accessible on your computer to transfer file.
Or use some 3rd party tool, such as AirDroid,.MobiKin, Xender...
If MTP transfers (Typical USB transfers) are unstable, you can try using FTP over a local network (Your home WiFi router, USB tethering). This method is way more stable than MTP. Once configured, it can be easily used.
For security, use this guide only on home networks. Otherwise, take security precautions
Install an FTP app on phone - install Amaze File Viewer (free, lightweight, FTP available with a good file viewer)
Connect both mobile and PC into the same network. (For example, You can either follow step 2 or step 3. Otherwise, you can use any other method to connect these devices to a network such as wifi-direct)
Connect the phone to the PC using a USB
Connect phone and PC using a cable
Enable the "USB tethering" option in phone settings. (Usually faster)
Connect both phone and PC to the same router using WiFi or cables. (Fast with a good router and a good phone)
Connect the phone to the router
Connect the PC to that router
This method doesn't consume your internet quota even if your connection is limited.
Open FTP Server from your FTP app on your phone -
Open the Amaze app
Open the left pane by clicking the menu icon on the top left corner
Select "FTP Server"
Configure FTP server settings
Click the options icon on the top right of the FTP server page of the Amaze app
Disable secure connections, Read only access, etc...
Click logins and disable anonymous login
fill in some user detail (eg: username="abc", password="bcd")
Click start to start the FPS server.
It should display an URL address like "URL - ftp://192.168.42.129" and a port (such as port- 21).
The link should have "ftp" instead of "ftps"
Otherwise, disable the "secure connections" option in settings and restart the server (stop then start again).
View files from windows explorer
Open windows explorer
Type or paste the link you obtained in step 6 in the address bar
Windows explorer will then ask you for login details
Fill in the details you configured in step 5
If everything went fine, you will be able to browse your files using the familiar windows explorer view. It might take some time to load. You can copy, delete, rename or move files as you wish.
Make sure you recheck the login details and link every time you change the connection or settings. After changing any setting on the Amaze app, try stopping and starting the FTP server again. You can also change the "shared path" of your phone in the Amaze FTP server settings.
