I have to call out a special mention for a great app I stumbled across.
Teradesk is a great tool for sharing files across your desktop, mobile, tablets and cloud storage.

Theres a few apps out there like this, but I'll try it out later.
Unfortunately this is just another proprietary basic file sharing method.
There is still no real tablet app to access shared drives and folder via CIFS/SMB which is the standard protocol in the computer world.

You're an asshat. I mount my shared drives on my tab with no problem with cifs. Plenty of apps
work. You just need to be able to do the mount

working great on the NC!
Drag & drop directly to/from SD on NC (or any android) over wifi!
Search for "samba fileshare" & download from market
Props to developer FunkyFresh!
This sounds awesome!
So if I'm understanding correctly, you can drop movies, music, and data files from your computer to the NC without hooking up the cable? This is something I'd be very interested in when I get my NC.

You got it! Your NC (or any **ROOTED** wifi enabled android device) will show up in your network and you can navigate the SD card and drag and drop, etc. Just like any other computer share. Pretty sweet!

Oh man, I cannot WAIT for this! Still saving my pennies for the NC, but when I get it this'll be the only way I transfer files.
Thanks!
Would have liked to post this in the dev's forum, but as a newbe, I'm unable to.
I hope someone will show the dev this post

Copying files to phone using Nautilus.
The link in the post above does not fix the problem.
sending files via nautilus to the phone works if the file size is under 65kb. If above that size the copying error "invalid argument" is returned. I have also found that the linux dolphin file manager will send any size file to the phone but cannot retrieve them.
I do hope this helps the dev, as I think the app is a superb piece of work.

Another method, if you don't like using the USB cable to transfer, is to download SwiFTP to the NC and then run a client like Filezilla on your host machine. SwiFTP will make your NC a FTP server that you can connect to over WiFi and upload files. That's how I've been transferring a lot of my stuff.

I've been looking for something like this, thank you!!
Runs beautifully
Very nice! Up and running on Nook Color and Droid X in under 5 mins. Working flawlessly to access via explorer in Win7 64bit.
Works on one computer not the other??

I have used this all day. I love it. This plus adb wireless has me never plugging my nook into the laptop.
I've been using Awesome drop to do this for a while check it out as well
Great app. Works really well. Previously I was using WiFi File Explorer. The problem was that it worked through web browser, which meant no copying of complete folders or multiple files.
With Samba it is just like browsing another drive on Windows Explorer.

Beat me to it. I was going to recommend Awesome Drop as well. It also works over 3G on your phone to boot.
Was having trouble connecting to my HTC Desire HD due to it not accepting broadcasts. Tried to fix with 'HTC UDP broadcast fix' app but that was useless as it doesn't ask for super user permissions!?!?
easy work around..... a manual arp entry for the Desire HD on my windows machine.
run cmd as admin..... then
C:\Windows\system32>arp -s ip-address-of-phone MAC-address-of-phone
bingo, happy to finally say 'great app!'
thanks!
Can somebody tell me how to use this app? I'm on a mac. Thanks.

For those of the unix persuation, I can recommend DropBear SSH server. Works well with CM10. I use putty (and pscp) on the pc side.
can anyone tell me a app with which i can connect to the files that are on my file server
ES file explorer in android for example ... but webos?
thanks!
Interested in this as well..
if you know how to use ssh and sftp, that would be your best option, since there's an ssh server and sftp app in the preware app browser.
that preware app seems to have bricked my device :-( so first I have to fix that, but you are right, that was my first thought as well.... I will try that as soon as the device is fixed (long night :-( )
[Q] Network File Transfers
Anyone know an app or method for transferring files over to the Touchpad? The actual file, not just streaming video or whatnot. I picked up a touchstone, so it would be cool not to have to plug wires in... ever.
I'm a similar boat but would actually be ok with just the ability to stream media from a windows file share.
Closest I've found but haven't tested is the following:
ugh I can't post external links
do a google search for webos xorg and it should be the 3rd link down titled: IOBox - PC File Syncing (xorg tools) - WebOS Internals
from what I see it's just a way to create a mountpoint to a windows CIFS share. Would be nicer if something like android's file expert existed.
To have a simple network browser on the Touchpad would make it 10x more usable.
that is one of the things webos lacks of :/
i cant tell my girlfriend to ssh onto the homeserver just to watch a movie or pictures.
maybe some dev could make an ugly but working app for that
with preware you can use ssh and sftp for cli transfer.
but a network file browser would be alot nicer imho

No, but you could set it up for her on the tablet so she just has to launch it and then set up and sftp client on her computer such as filezilla. After that, it's just a matter of dragging and dropping files into filezilla.

If you have sshd on your tablet, you can easily use a gui client on your computer to connect to it like filezilla.
I was hoping there was a convenient app for us lazy people...
Ah well, it's something. Thanks.

Yep, nothing really out there until someone writes one for it
is there any news or ideas?...does any one know the devs of ES file explorer ... is there such a huge difference between web os and android ...
.. 10 dollars for such an app from me
(having that app - I would not need any android ...)
I use this:
http://www.precentral.net/tbtransfer
still in alpha but good enough for small files. Not recommended for files >100Mb as it takes much longer compared to usb cable.
perfect, thanks.
is that any unsecure, not beeing protected in any way?...
I think it only works with computers connected on the same router.

I understand you are looking for an app, but I installed the uberkernel which supports mounting of remote shares. There is a good how to if you look on google but basically you update your kernel to uberkernal or f15c, install Internalz from preware, add a line to the file /etc/fstab, and execute a mount -a command in a command line. Now I am able to browse my network share and copy files back and forth. The only problem I ran into was that I was trying to mount a sub folder of my shared folder but you can only mount the shared folder itself. I went crazy trying to figure that one out when it was actually rather obvious...
Wifi file transfer
Is there an app for touchpad like ES File Explorer where you can transfer files to your desktop/tablet wirelessly through a local wifi network?
I use wifi media sync works perfect for me.

I figured my Xbox 360 can share files with my PC, this $500 tablet should be able to do this natively.
Looks like for now I'm going to have to download and install File Manager HD.
Go to Asus.com then support search for the prime then download the pc suite. Now you can transfer over wifi

That actually didn't lead me to the ability to do network file sharing, but it did lead me to a very effective remote desktop app called Splashtop.
try andsmb from the market. it has most of the functionality you seem to be looking for.

Sorry to tell you but this is actually what Android itself is all about...
Flexibility and exentsibility
The app you are using doesn't have feature xyz? Well go to market and search for one that does have that feature
I know this can be kinda bad sometimes but it's the best thing of Android. You can replace almost everything.
And btw, the AUSUS file manager is way cooler than most 3rd party ones. Not concerning the functions it offers but concerning the design.
I haven't found any other manager that looks nearly as good as ASUS' one....
es file explorer can also access files over your network. Not quite the same as file sharing back and forth, but it does half of what you want!
I'd honestly prefer dropbox for smaller files. I've got a ton of referrals so I have 20gb of space so that's plenty to upload/download whatever I need in either direction.

Look for CIFS and Samba on the market. Most solutions require root though. I personally use CIFS manager (on rooted device). Without root there are a few file managers and players than can open files from samba shares.
Look for "File manager HD" on the market. Its free and theres no setup required on the PC side.
Just share a folder like you normally would and your prime can easily access (and bookmark!) it.
I use it to access my 6tb TVshow server, plays everything directly from it.

Being a noob, I just couldn't work out how to push them to the prime, but managed it fine once I set up ES file explorer to do all the root work. Got a useful tip on a page somewhere's there before I got cifsmanager working, about loading both modules on the one line in the the cifsmanager settings

So, you just want to access files from your work computer on your tab? If that's all, most file managers are able to access shared files over LAN/WAN (I use it all the time for music/pictures/stuff computer).
Teamviewer is just another remote desktop app. Ubuntu one is just a cloud service. And I need to access my files anywhere, not just when i'm on a LAN/wan. The problem with a cloud service is th I have thousands pdf's, spreadsheets, and photos on my workstation and uploading them all a cloud and them having to keep updating that cloud daily is not feasible.
Motocast works flawless in that anywhere you have web access you can access a PC that is on and running the client in the background. Just wondering if there is an app like that that works for the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1...
You could set a FTP server (I recommend SFTP for security) on your workstation and use an app like AndFTP.
try Pocket Cloud
Dropbox is simplest solution. Put your files in Dropbox and they are everywhere.

Just thought I'd mention, WAN is wide area network (aka internet), not WLAN (wireless LAN).
So using shares (or FTP/SFTP) you can easily access all your files, you can even mount them so that tab sees them as "local" (useful for quite some apps that don't support network shares).

You 'just' create a folder and 'just' drop your files there. How hard is that? Dropbox is not something physical that you have to do anything to it daily. Their is no hard labor involved. You definitely need paid service for thousands and thousands of your files. Just like that.

Another option that helped me was pocketcloud explore. Because you have the pocketCloud remote desktop but this is a separate app that will let you just access, view, and download all your files. It's 1 of the closest things motocast I could find.

That depends on the ROM you're using, if it allows to connect the device as USB mass storage, then you could use that. Most probably that isn't available, though, since this mode blocks the device from being used for other things in the meantime. Aside from that, there's the MTP protocol, but that doesn't work well(thanks Microsoft).
There's also 'adb' and 'QtADB' is a nice frontend for it which is also available for OSX(only tested it on Linux myself). It works, but it isn't perfect.
So using FTP or SFTP is the best option if you want to do stuff like drag'n'drop.
