Hey guys,
First of all, I just want to mention that I’m not perfectly bilingual so feel free to ask if you don’t understand.
So, I know there’s PLENTY of threads about Smb and windows 10 but I haven’t found anything helping me. What I want to do is, share my external hard drives plugged on my android box to my Windows 10 so I can add files from Windows without having to unplug/plug my hd’s everytime.
My first question is : Is it even possible ? Whatever I type on google, it’s always about sharing an external hard drive plugged on windows to Android, wich is not what I’m looking for. And the Kodi wiki about SMB/Windows is not helping me at all since it’s, once again, about sharing Windows to Kodi.
I’ve tried installing AndSMB, ES File explorer and I couldn’t find anything helpful. AndSMB is, from what I’ve noticed, a client and I couldn’t figure out how to share my drives from ES File explorer. Should I just make a ftp server on my PC and that’s it ? Or am I right to believe that smb is the solution ?
TL;DR : Is it possible to share my external hard drives plugged on my android box to Windows 10 ?
Thank you in advance.
Specs :
– Android box : MXQ Pro, Android 5.1.1, Kodi v17.3
– Windows 10 home
PS1 : I used the search option and didn’t find anything helpful. If you have found a thread answering my question, well then I’m sorry, I probably didn’t see it.
PS2 : I know, using a PC instead would be 100 times effortless but I do have a cheap netbook with only two USB2 ports and I dont want my netbook to be open 24/7
