Easily Access Android SD Card Over WiFi with Samba

February 4, 2011 by Paul Spoerry 1 Comment

This is something so simple that I cannot believe it’s not a part of Android by default. Here’s the deal, mounting your SD card, connecting to your computer, etc is just so 2007. If you have a rooted Android phone (shouldn’t ALL Android phones be rooted?), then you really wanna check out Samba Filesharing.

Whether you’re out and about and you’ve forgotten your USB cord or you just don’t want to be tied down by physical cables, Samba Filesharing is a ridiculously easy way to access your phone’s SD card from a computer. Again, you have to have root access to your phone but if you do simply download the app and type \\ANDROID into Windows Explorer, type in the username and password and bam… browse your SD Card and copy files to/from it just like any other network share.

Linkage!

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
