1388385 2014-11-20 05:19:00 Yep, sure can. Theres several apps around to allow it, the one I have here is ES File Explorer installed on the Android tablet. The only down side is its not as straight forward as Seeing a shared folder like on a windows based PC /LAN, AND on the android, the shared folders /PC's are shown as their IP address, not the actual name. So if its anything like mine here its a bit of a :waughh: ( luckily I mainly only access the Server so I know its IP)

1388388 2014-11-22 22:40:00 I use AirDroid: play.google.com

I give it a 10/10 rating, works like magic compared to some other apps.

1388391 2014-11-23 22:54:00 Can't you just plug the tablet charging cable into a usb port and use windows file explorer to copy files to and from the tablet? All these methods are great but if you have access to a PC then it's still easier to do it from that end of things.
I know this worked for the tablet I had.
