It's called Websharing file/media sync. You can enable this to map as a network drive then just have a shortcut on your desktop to your phones sdcard.

[APP][REQUEST] SyncToy for PDA

Hi Community,
I am searching for a tool like SyncToy 2.1 from Microsoft to sync data such as files, folders between my LG GM750 Smartphone and network folders.
MobSync is not what I want because of the data transfer via ActiveSync and the problem with large files.
My environment at home is a WiFi Router which is connected to the internet via UMTS. Attached to the router are 2 hard drives with 500 GB and 1500 GB. On the hard drives are the folders (SMB shares) I want to sync with folders on my smartphone's sd card.
The phone is connected via WiFi to the router and I have access to the shares on the hard drives using Total Commander.
I searched for weeks now to find such an application without success until now. Maybe I have overseen... otherwise there might be a programmer here who can take care of my wish!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
no, this app uses some internet service. This is not what I want.
My goal is an app like SyncToy in which I can create folder pairs to be syncronized. There is no need to involve the internet. It's just an intranet thing taking place in my private local area network...
Any further suggestions? All apps I found are using ActiveSync... but the sync should work over Wireless LAN.
Best regards,
Werner
unfortunately I am not aware of such an app.
I am afraid that you're right...
in the past few hours I have intensified my search dramatically... but all promising apps are using ActiveSync or WMDC. I even thought of Mortscript but how can I compare folders and determine changes AND generate lists of files to be copied...?
However, for the moment I have given up. If there is a programmer around here... please help!
Thanks in advance & best regards,
Werner
goodsync

hmmm...yes and no...
There is no Windows Mobile client, but I would have to run it from my netbook or any other computer. And then it utilizes ActiveSync resp. WMDC...
Unfortunately, that is a no-go. I need an app on my Windows Mobile phone which syncs folder pairs over WiFi. No internet, no ActiveSync, no WMDC... just my private LAN...
I didn't discover such an app yet...
Best regards,
Werner

[APP] Samba Fileshare - Wireless access to Android

Just released!
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.
--ex
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 also have Win7 64bit at work and at home. It works great at work - but can't get my home computer to recognize it. Any suggestions?

I had just been reading about SwiFTP and wondering how these two compared. Thanks for the recommendation!

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.
Hello,
I am trying to add /mnt/usbhost1 to the shared folders. Is it /etc/smb.conf that I should edit?
KR,

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.

[APP] Teradesk

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.
www.teradesk.net for more info.

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

i just installed it...... its working great thanks for sharing

network shortcut

Does anyone know of an app that can intergrate my nas drive. I would like a shortcut to my videos on a networked drive? I have es file explorer and can browse to my videos but I would like to do this with one click.
I am sorry but there are no tablet optimized apps that are able to access network shares.
ES File explorer is the only app able to access shares but is very crude to use on a tablet since its designed for phones. You can not create shortcuts with it.
Mount the drive on your tab using cifs manager, and then use any file manager. (File manager HD is the best on a tablet. )

Thanks for that. One small problem. There are no instructions on how to mount a drive. I know the IP address and that is all I need on es file explorer. What is the mount point, user and password?

False. FileManager HD is tablet optimized and allows you to access network shares: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm.hd&feature=search_result

Sure there is. File Manager HD does this. That's how I get movies from my PC to my Tab.

Is this what you want ? AirDroid
or 2x client
thanks for replies
I thought that 2x required me to place an program on my windows pc? And is AirDroid for accessing my tablet? I am trying to login into computers on my network via vpn and remotely manage them instead of taking my laptop. That is why I can't install the program on all of them. Is logmein the only alternative for my needs on this?

all you need to use 2x is enable standard RDP on PC, no software installation necessary
