How do I access my external Backup Drive on my Home Network?

[golf18]

It's attached to my desktop and I can access it fine thru laptops, etc. but how about from my N10?

TIA
Mike

I use the app hipserve. Maybe it can work with yours. You can find the compatible hard drives when you log in.

Have a look at ES File Explorer. It has provisions for accessing network drives.

You need to setup the drive for network sharing first though.

Here's a tutorial for mounting a network-shared hard drive as a mount point, making it accessible to the media scanner service. This, in turn, allows the files to be seen by all installed applications in the same manner that files on the internal storage or an external microSD would be.

I'm not using it at the moment, but I can verify that it does work and is great for streaming over WiFi from a network drive and mirroring that content to a TV. There should be little to no difference performing this on a Nexus 10 as opposed to the Nexus 7.

I use Solid Explorer.

I have used es file explorer for quite some time. It works great once configured.
