We have a filesystem at work which I use very often. On my Windows laptop I simply mount an NFS drive (map network disk). Can I mount an NFS folder in ICS? If not, is there any other way of accessing network disks?

I've used File Expert to connect to network drives. Works with windows and Mac networks just fine.

Like Windows you'll need NFS software installed to do that, and Android doesn't come with them any more than Windows XP did. So few people if anyone have tried an NFS mounter, people usually use CIFS/SMB - which is what Windows networks usually uses for file shares and maps, not NFS.
Samba File Sharing in the market for anserver to make your prime accessible to other systems.
Any app that can deal with SMB/CIFS shares, like most big name file managers or CifsManager (maps network drive[sic]).
SSHFS is also possible if you have a SSH server and the right software on the client wanting to mount. I have both on my tablet. SSHFS is like mappig a network drive but more secure.

Yes, you can mount a network drive to your device if it is rooted. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442928
Or you could use this tweaker to load the cifs and md4 modules (by checking their boxes in the app), then use the cifsmanager app to mount your drive.

sigh, people need to realize CIFS(SMB) is NOT NFS ...
For the OP, it looks like the kernel has NFS_FS enabled, but you'll want/need nfs-utils built in order to mount (and you'll need root). (note: NFSv3 and NFSv4 are not enabled in the kernel, but a dev could probably build those modules easily enough).
Thank you for your comments. I have mixed up things in my original post. I use NFS from my Linux box, but I mount Samba share from my Windows laptop. I have found an app called AndSMB that allows my accessing Samba shares from the Prime. However, it doesn't mount a proper network folder, it only allows browsing network folders and downloading network files.
I believe CifsManager can mount a network directory, but it needs root access. Is it true that every software mounting a drive/directory would need a rooted system? I don't really want to root my Prime...
Does anybody know of a good method to mount android file systems (4.0+) on Linux? I want to be able to mount my sdcard remotely (TCP) and manage my files on my desktop. I've tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601 but this is very buggy. I'd prefer a way to integrate mtpfs and mount to a directory.

this is IMHO best solution
Hey out there,
I need some advise regarding mounting a local samba share folder on a tab/phone.
I manage to mount a share from my server to the /mnt/cifs (or other folder in cifs) of the android device but can't manage to get it seen by the app i intend to. I used cifsmanager to easily mount the share.
I also managed to mount via the terminal the share folder but it can't be seen by ES Explorer (or other app) except when mounted in folders owned by "root".
My aim would be to have any app (like music player) to see the content of the mounted share and use its files. And in the long run to have the mounting done automatically done when at home or when away sync some folder via sftp and access all using the same protocol.
After searching for days now I don't manage to find any answer about this problem. It doesn't seem to be possible (and I find it logical) to mount in /storage or other folders owned by the "system" user.
Can someone helps me to understand the mounts and permissions on Android and more specifically in Cyanogenmod or at least redirect me to the right location?
Thanks guys
My device: ASUS TF300T
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly
Hi,
So I am trying to setup the below SSHFS app for Android on my phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chaos9k.sshfsandroid
The dev has not responded to my emails and provides next to no instructions...
Here is what I have done on my own:
On my Pc:
1. Setup Cygwin SSH modules
2. Am able to connect via putty to my home PC through both my internal and external IPs (basically yes SSH server is working as a service on my PC and I can connect from my own network and off of it on another windows PC)
3. Port 22 is forwarded in my router
So prereq one to one this app of needing SSH server setup on home computer is met
Next up on my phone:
1. I am rooted on a Samsung Galaxy S4
2. Have Busy Box
3. Phone is 4.2 which the app experimentally supports
4. I have FUSE module support on my phone
So I believe from the above my phone meets the prereqs to mount SSHFS shares.
On to the app itself:
To setup a share I have specified the following:
1.Name : has no bearing just for user ease
2.Host: using my external IP
3.Remote Path: Have tried all sorts of paths to files on my PC (including just basic /\ and blanks)
4.Mount Point:\mnt\SSH (have confirmed this works as previously it would not accept my mount point. This folder is mounted and the app can see it)
5. Automount (checked)
7. User name and Passwords...used the same ones I used in putty to connect to my server
So with all of the above I keep getting the below error:
/SH:<stdin>[1]:readlink:not found:No such file or directory.
I believe the above error is because I am not properly inputting my remote path I would like to mount....I ideally would like to mount my entire D drive....but for the sake of getting this started I would like to be able to mount anything just to prove it works.
Like I mentioned I can use a laptop on a different WIFI network to connect to my SSH server and browse files...so in theory this should work...If anyone can help me sort out the proper remote path syntax I would really appreciate the help.
Hello All,
I am trying to use my SNES roms in windows network drive in supergnes app. I do not see a way in supergnes to access network drives. So, I want to mount windows network drive as interval folder to android. Please let me know if you know of any app that can do this for me.
Thanks in advance.
