Install the connection between android and computer. How to connect the phone to WiFi network as a network drive in Windows

Expand the capabilities of data exchange between the home computer and the device on the android platform using the file manager. Preparing the "File Manager for Android" stumbled upon a cool Android connection function local network Windows. So, we will examine on the example how to do it.

Dano: Wi-Fi dot Access, computer with operating windows system (in my case it is Windows 7), android gadget with the installed file manager, which has a SAMBA server function (I have ES File Explorer.).

Step One: Create a new user on the computer

This is not a mandatory step, you can use the data of the already created users, but I decided to make a new one, especially for authorization through my android phone.

To create a new user come in: Start - Control Panel - Adding and Delete Accounts.

Everything is simple here, the only thing to account with the usual access. After that, in the account settings, be sure to create a password.

Step Two: Create a shared folder on a computer

Not necessarily folder, you can connect a whole partition, for example, a C drive with the right mouse button on the document or folder to which we want to open access, go to the "Access" tab and click "Common Access". In the drop-down menu, select the username that was created in the previous step, and do not forget to set the level of read and write permissions.

The general section to which we will connect from the android system is created.

Step Three: Create a server in the file manager

We run ES File Explorer, go to the LAN tab. Press the "Menu" hardware key, then "Create" in the dialog box, click "Server".

There are many of all sorts of incomprehensible settings, but if you figure it out, there is nothing terrible in them.

Now everyone is in order:

Domain: Leave empty

Address: Here we drive the IP of our computer (this parameter can be found in writing to the console Windows team ipconfig how to get into the console is visible on the screenshots below)


Login: Name account From the first step

Password: Password account from the first step

Name: Leave empty, or invent any name for our server

After you have entered all the data, click "OK". Candle! The server is created, now we can go to the computer directly from our phone (well or tablet).

The simplest solution to connect android phone To computer via WiFi - ES Explorer. The application is free and has understandable interfaceHowever, most Android phone owners are limited to its use only as a file manager. To open the network capabilities of the program, it is necessary:

You can view or download files from your phone via WiFi in any browser. Just enter the specified data in its address bar.

To do this, it is enough to enter the address of the server that was provided by the program directly in the "Explorer" string. The directories that are located in the memory of the smartphone will open in the same way as the files with folders on the computer itself.


Important! The most complete use of the smartphone file system when connecting this method can be provided with specialized FTP clients, such as FileZilla or SmartFTP. But even when working through the standard File Manager "Explorer" in Windows, you can copy files from the phone and on it.

After confirmation of the synchronization, connect to the phone. Almost any actions that can be performed, you can do remotely through the computer and. The interface is made as a separate desktop. The upper right corner displays information about the device and the amount of free memory. Just below - the control panel, with which you can send files and folders to the device.


Icons on this desktop work as menu items on the phone. For example, the call log displays the full details of the calls. Synchronization is performed in both directions - with the ability not only to view the records, but also to delete them. Changes will be applied on the phone.


When opening contacts, all numbers are displayed in the smartphone's memory. People from the notebook can be sent SMS or call using the computer.

Solving possible problems

If you do not manage to connect the phone to a computer via WiFi none of the proposed methods, restrictions can be installed by your router. In some cases, in its settings, a mode can be set, in which various devices on the local network do not have a direct connection between themselves, and are used exclusively for accessing the Internet.

You can change the settings in the router control panel.
For Huawei: "Home Network -\u003e WiFi Settings - WiFi Encryption - Enable Access Point Insulation."
For TP-LINK routers, the corresponding item is in the menu: "Wireless Mode -\u003e Advanced Settings -\u003e Activate AP Isolation".

In the case when the connection via FTP is successful, but in the ES Explorer menu, the smartphone does not displays other devices, it is recommended to change the parameters general access on the computer.
