I am a windows file share lover so was looking for the way to share the files between my windows PC and any android device like windows file share, I found it but how I can simply sit with out sharing with you (my friends).

Requirements:

1. Install SambaFileSharing (samba client) in to your Android device (link is above).

2. open and set the password and username in SambaFileSharing settings and hit Enable button

 

   Note :- once you enable it is set to start on boot so this service always available(if you wish)

3. Goto your windows machine open RUN or Windows Explorer and type the \\”android-ip”

     Note :  replace your android device ip in the place of “android-ip”

  

4. type your username & password while its asking for.., that’s all you all have your access to your phone.

 

No worries if you don’t have router but you have wifi in your laptop / PC
