Question Can I access files on an Android TV box from Windows?

[Mysteryman1]

I have a Mecool Android TV box and I have an SD card in it that I use to store movies/TV shows to watch.

Both PC and the Android box are connected to my home network.

Is it possible to access this SD card from a Windows 11 PC so that I can transfer files to it? At the moment I physically move the card to my PC, load up files then put it back - would be nice to manage the files without having to move the card back/to!

Thanks,
Richard

I use AirDroid to transfer between my phone and PC. I don't know if that would do what you want.

Sounds hopeful! Is this something that is installed on the PC?

Thanks.

No, it's installed on the Android device and on the PC you connect using your browser.

Airdroid is bloat, borderline spyware IMO.

Use a file manager with a built-in web server (FX File Explorer for example) where you can toggle it on, it creates a local server and gives you the IP on your network and a temp password (you can also go in the settings and give it a permanent one).

From there on your PC or even phone, type in the IP, Password, and it opens to a file Explorer in your web browser from which you can upload and download to any user accessible folder you want.
