Hi there, so im sick and tired of usb cables and file sharing over the web (slow internet), so id like to share my photos from my android phone (note 2, jb) to my pc (win7) over wifi. I tried many different file managers and none seem to be able to send files from android to pc, for me only es file manager was able to connect to pc and it can download files from pc, but cannot upload. When i try to share any files from android, it says please check your wireless connection or try hotspot. I have tried hotspot too but didnt work either, same message..if anyone got this to work please help me. Thanks!

yes i have both but the sd card is protected, my pc cannot use it with the reader. also, taking the back cover off every time to copy photos...rather use the cable. but i just wanna get the es file explorer to work.
es explorer send by LAN
Hi. I tried the same thing. Went to a photo in my gallery, selected it and tried to Send by LAN. Got the same message. I can browse my PC from ES file explorer easily and copy paste files from my phone to my PC smoothly. But then this feature should work as well. Any advice? I have also tried sharing a specific folder on my PC with all permissions.
Thanks
JB is very protective with its contents... Did you try Airdroid?

i deleted a video file (recorded using my phone) from the storage card, and i do not sync that folder. is there a way to recover this, or an equivalent recycle folder for storage cards ?
placed in a sdcarder on the pc all pc harddisk undelete tools work just fine with the sdcard
only way i know off
If Rudegar's method doesn't work, try some data recovery software.
Take a look here: http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2007/PL2007FILEUTILITIES.php#3.30Files:Undelete
In any case U will need card reader.
Thanks guys, I will try these, I have tried a few others, via the sd card reader, but they do pick up some very old deleted files, but not the one in question (a video clip from my phone .mp4 format), i managed in some applications to even select specifc file types and all files, but no success, will try the link suggested below, thanks, will let you know how it goes.
Try "Recover My Files"
Woks for me every time.
I had excellent results with PC Inspector Smart Recovery for pictures, videos and pocketword/excel files. You have to put it into a cardreader for that.
Can we recover frm fon itslf????

Can't access the SD card from the PC....
I'm using MS File Explorer on the PC and am connected by USB cable, and can see folders that appear to be the data on the internal memory of Gtab, but don't see anything for the external SD card.
Can you get to your external SD card from your PC?? Any idea how I can get it to show up? Want to be able to transfer files, but am currently having to keep pulling it out of the Gtab and put it into the SD card slot on the laptop to get access.
I'm running Vegan b3. Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
If you share your pc drive, you can use ES File Explorer, by selecting LAN instead of local.

Fyi, I just tested this (network sharing) and was able to access shares on a Win7 machine and on a WinXP machine. For the latter, I had to use the "guest" user, with no password.

I think he wants to do it the other way around; access the external sdcard from the PC.
One of the glaring goofs by the OEM devs and the firmware. If a microsd is in the slot, we should see two logical drives when the device is mounted.
Incredible, Galaxy S and Tab versions with internal space shows two drives (as they should). Another issue with the G is the microsd unmount function is problematic- at best.
I can't seem to move a folder from my PC (Win7 64bit) to my rooted Android external microSD. Every time I move a file it shows the move but then when I go into the phone its not there.
It doesn't let me move the file onto the microSD card!?!?!?!
What file is it? What are u using to transfer the file, what from? Where are you putting the file?
Most importantly, did u browse to:
/sdcard/external_SD
And make sure it wasn't there instead?

Its a folder filled with my mp3 songs
I am using windows explorer
Using my PC (win7 64bit) via USB port
I am putting them into my microSD directly (in windows explorer it shows my phone and external microSD as 2 separate locations, each with its own letter association).
Yes I checked /sdcard/external_SD... not there not anywhere actually...
Did u use a file manager like astro or root explorer to check?

Yes but I also used windows explorer after disconnecting and then reconnecting via USB and it wasn't there anymore.
It maybe bcoz of errors and bad sectors of ur card, a full format should fix that

Could be a problem with your computer, or the sdcard in your phone. Try a different computer first
Hi everyone!
i Have this problem: when i plug my p3100 to my Macbook pro with Mac Os X Snow Leopard the Tab says that is connected and to choose if i want it mounted as an archieve or as a camera. when i check camera i can import phoos from the internal device memory, but i i check archieve nothing happens, with my Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001 when i do so i see the internal and external sd-card as archieve and i can use them as a normal usb drive, but this won't hapen with the p3100. so i tried to install Android File Transfer but it says that is impossible to connectto the device to restart and try again.
I have tried with stock ICS stock JB OTA Update and now with PAC-rom, but it never works ((
i also tried adb! and with adb devices it is detected but if i try to transfer somthing to it via adb push it takes a lot of time and when the process ends i do not have any file on the tab!!!
Can someone help me to figure out how to do connect my tab to the computer and transfer files to it??
Yeah, macs don't support MTP, so the "media device" connection option isn't going to work out of the box. Dunno why Android File Transfer is erroring out though. At this point maybe the simplest solution is to get a MicroSD card and reader and transfer the files by moving the card between devices and using ES File Explorer to move them wherever they need to go.

thanks for the info! yeah i think that that is the only workaround because airdroid and similar are just too slow
I'm using ES File Manager to copy files from my computer to a new Note PRO. I can copy files to the internal storage but I can't copy to the external SD. Also, I cannot use ES File Manager to move files from internal storage to the SD. I can use the stock file manager to move files between internal and SD. So the questions are:
1) Can ES File Manager be made to copy files to the SD card?
2) If not, then can the stock file manager access Windows devices to copy files from the computer to the SD?

Yep, that looks like it. Thank you. I'm not ready to root yet to solve the issue. I was not able to tell if this is a bug or by design. It's pretty limiting.
Still trying to figure out if the built-in file manager can be used to copy from a Windows computer to the SD card.
If you connect your tablet to your windows PC you should be able to access internal and external sdcard. They will show up as separate drives. If they don't, install Kies 3 then connect your tablet again.

I was hoping to get this done using wi-fi just for the convenience. It is something I did with previous devices. It always surprised when a basic feature goes away.
If you have an FTP server installed on your PC, My Files app can pull your files that way, then save them to external sdcard
ES File Explorer implemented the workaround within the first few days of KitKat's release. I've been using it to move files in all directions to and from my MicroSD on my Note 3, S5 and NotePro for months without issue. The main thing that doesn't work is renaming.
However, the WiFi transfer to MicroSD has been blocked by Google for security reasons after a series of WiFi-related file security problems. No file manager is capable of this without Root. Same as how you can no longer download files off the internet directly onto the MicroSD.
It's much faster to just pull out the MicroSD and plug it into a PC, anyway. The transfer protocols on Android are a nightmare.
