Does anyone know the apk for the file manager that comes with Archos 101 Gen8 ? I like the UPNP/Network browser on where I can stream videos from my shared drives on the network. Is it possible to get that for other Android devices on the market? I've tried ES File explorer, Astro, etc. nothing is as good as the one from archos.
anyone?
ps, I want this for my NEXUS S and NEXUS One.
thanks

The file manager is useless on other devices for the purpose you want it.
The upnp browsing is done with djmount and not the file manager.
is there a DJmount type filemanager in the market?

I doubt it because djmount is a linux type program that maps upnp remote dirs to local dirs.

I use this tiny app to access files,music, movies etc on my Qnap NAS
It's sad this useful network app went missing in urukdroid fw.
I doubt it's gonna work on other device but here it is.

Can any tell me if their is an app. like Bluetooth File Transfer where it connects to your pc/mac but shows the computers files on the phone not like all the WIFI apps. I have found that you have to access via a website on your computer.
I want to be able to transfer my file to my computer and from my computer using the phone.
Is this not possible with WIFI???

You can try phone explorer (need desktop client too) or <web sharing> (search in the market)
the file sharing app can use your browser to log in to your device storage to upload and download through wifi, however free version can only download and upload one file at the time.
the phone explorer got more function, you can send SMS through it, mod your calender and contact and so on, can download and upload multiple file through wifi to your phone and vise versa.
i would recommend phone explorer, but it quite unstable when your wifi strength is not good or too much traffic on your wifi. So you can try to use web sharing as backup but the function will be very limited.
i use this it works pretty well.

Thank you all, alex.under this is exactly what I was looking for, they others just having me sitting a the pc/mac the whole time but es file explorer lets me be away from the computer and still transfer files directly from my phone.
Is there any way to browse and/or transfer files via wifi from a windows 7 pc to the G Tab. I am using File Expert to root browse, and it does have a tab for network drives. How do I get them connected. I have several drives on several machines on my network that are visible to each other.

If you use a custom kernel, and you add the cifs kernel module, then cifsmanger (in the app store) can mount shares.
Wifi File Explorer:

Simple, gets the job done
You could also use Samba to make your G-tab a network share on your computer. That is what I do and when I need to access the g-tab, I just open my network on my Windows 7 computer and it is just like any other network share. You can't access the external sdcard (sdcard2). This will not allow you to access the root of your g-tab but I find that that is a good thing... can't delete system stuff that way!

EStrongs File Explorer (Free on the Market).
From your GTAB you can connect to your Wi-Fi LAN to Browse directories, Copy, Move, Edit files, Folders etcc.. that are shared or visible on your network.
It even supports Bluetooth and FTP protocals.
Drawback.
Even though you can see network files from your PC via your GTAB you wont be able to see files and folders that are on your GTAB via your PC on the network.
There is a method for that capability but I've yet to tinker with it since the blog I found it on is from November 2010.

I use es fie explorer to connect to shared drives on my home pc on my G2 running CM7 without issues. However using the same program for my TP2 I can't connect. I've tried other file explorers as well all with the same result. Has anyone had any success connecting to smb shares? If yes, can you share your setup? Thanks in advance.

I have used ES File Explorer and Astro to connect to Windows SMB shares. I do not know of any special setup though? With ES File Explorer I just have it scan my network for shares and then pick the PC that has the shares I want. With Astro I have to specify the IP address of the PC that I want to connect to, but that is only a one time deal.
Try AndSMB. It works for me, while I cannot connect using ES File explorer.

Thanks for your replies, guys. Today's update of es file explorer fixed my issues.
I'm trying to connect my TF101 to a V-Gear Landisk (SMB share) on my network.
I can connect with my PC (on the same wired network), and see the top-level MUSIC folder and many sub-folders.
I have tried ES File Explorer, CifsManager, Mount Manager, and AndSMB with essentially the same results:
I can connect and see the top-level MUSIC folder, but when I open it, I don't see any sub-folders.
In some cases, I get error messages such as "path doesn't exist" or "timeout"; sometimes I just see an empty folder.
Can anyone help me get this working?
Thanks,
Eric
I'm looking for an app that will allow me to remotely access WHS (windows home server) and allow me to manipulate files and folders. I know I can access my shares from ES File Explorer and I use that to copy files to and from my Android devices, but there are times I want to move/copy files from folder A to folder B on the WHS. The job needs to happen on the server and not on my android device, similar to the way utorrent remote apps work such as torrent fu and TorrentToise.
Is there an app that exist like this for android?
These are simple SMB shares (samba)
Hi,
So I'm just trying to install some more codecs on the smart TV, but it doesn't let you download apk files and doesn't even show them in the file browser from the USB drive.
I've tried using the ES file explorer trick, but the TV doesn't show up on the scan (yes both on the same wifi network).
Has anyone been able to install things on this TV?
