SD Card as a Network drive in Wi-Fi Network?

Question

Please help me to emulate my Phone's SD card as a network drive in my Wi-Fi network. I am able to mount it as a Media device which will only help us to play music with Windows Media Player. But I want my SD card as a network drive.

Answer 1

A good application to do that is the Samba Filesharing. It shares your sdcard, making it easy to transfer files from/to your phone.

Settings

After installing the application from Google Play, open it and fill a password by touching the password menu. The default username is SDCARD and the default Workgroup is WORKGROUP. You can leave it that way or change it in a way that suits you.

I'd recommend enabling and selecting your WiFi in the WiFi White List . That way it only enables Samba sharing when connected to your preferred Network.

That done, you only have to go to your Network Shares and look for a device called ANDROID.

Login

• Name: SDCARD
• pw: (the one you defined earlier)

Open the shared folder and it will ask again for credentials, and you're done.

Here you have a video that completes this information.
