Hi all,
I have a HDD that I can connect to my S9+ using an OTG adapter. Using the My Files file explorer, I can access the files just fine. However, I struggle to get third party apps to access the drive. My ultimate aim is to edit some video files on the drive. I have installed several video editing apps and none can access the files. I have a few file explorers that can read the drive but cannot open the files with the video editors. I dont wish to copy the files to my phone, edit them and then copy them back as that's a tedious process.
Is there any way to force those apps to access the files? I'm not rooted.

So Nexus Don't Have SD Slot. Is there any APP can allow me perform following CLOUD activity?
The APP auto create a Virtual Folder which connect to CLOUD DRIVE.
Next time when I want to view or edit files simply just open any APP and open files in local path, select the Virtual Folder and then we can open files on CLOUD DRIVE without manually download to our device first.
Example 1: I can use Perfect Viewer view my DropBox 20GB comic collection and then open and read any comic zip file directly.
Example 2: I can use MX Player view my Google Drive 100GB video collection and then open and watch any video mkv file directly.
Considering buy Nexus 10, but worried bout the storage limitation...

I dont have a pc or this would not be an issue.
I use my 10.1 and gn2 for all my computer work as my pc killed the motherboard. I would like to use my seagste central wireless hard drive as my network hd. Not an issue, it shows in es file explorer but it will not let me access my password protected folders. Is there a way to access them, even from another explorer, or do I have to use the less than effecient seagate app.
Also, is there a way to download my music files straight from google play to my seagate central? I have them all on an external hd, but my seagate will not read powered hd's. I cannot transfer them through my samsung smart dock because it only reads fat32, and my usb adapter for my 10.1 is the same. I cant even figure out how to do a mass download od my music, 20, 000 plus songs, on to my note. I was trying to download in small portions onto my ext micro but I have to do it individual albums or artists.
Any ideas?

Hi guys,
I have set up a smb server on my android device (smart tv thing I bought from amazon)
I can access the external drives that are attached to the device fine from windows explorer but cannot transfer anything, I get some message pop up on windows saying the path could not be found.
I've tried searching for a solution but can't find anything. I've tried ftp and that works for single files but not batch files/folders.
Smb is the only way I've been able to map the directory through windows.
Is there anyone who can help with this?
I just need a simple solution to transfer data using win explorer to the external drives attached to my android device.
I'd like to know if it's possible to map a simple shared folder or network drive from my Windows PC onto my Android device to act like a normal folder accessible from any app designating a storage location.
An example of this in action would be downloading something from the android Google Chrome browser and having it saving directly to the Windows PC mapped storage drive and not the phone's internal or external storage.
I am aware you can use ES Explorer and the like to access a shared homegroup folder from your phone but it doesn't work as a normal folder so you cant store files directly to the PC from the phone's apps.

You might want to try doing it wirelessly. Try Airmore you can use this to transfer files from phone to PC and vice versa.
