Help challenge for android wifi NAS network experts???

Newbie
I am thinking about acessing the 64 Gb card in the GS3, without messing with **slow** USB, simple wifi interfaces like 'airdroid' (which though fab, cannot do *full* file handling... :( ) - no worry about heat, I use an ancient switch's heavy metal box as a heat sink! :)
..................

Is it possible to attach the GS3 as a 'type of NAS' - so that the SD card in the phone looks and works *just like* any hard drive you would plug into win XP or 7 ??? :confused::confused:

This would mean I can use utils like XnView to rename, edit, replace and search files massively, and also use a program like 'Auslogics Duplicate File Finder' to wipe out the many duplicates I have seen....

No fiddling with your valuable card while getting it out or messing with other complex solutions like microsd to sata adapters and their virtually non-existent support.... :/
 
no clue abt the nas thing but why dont you try AirDroid it lets u connect to ure phone via wifi and you can do a lot of stuff with it.
 
:smokingsomb::rolleyes:
" 'airdroid' (which though fab, cannot do *full* file handling... :( )"
-- the file list only exists in your browser, NOT accessible to the filesystem!!!

Have you tried copying 64Gb of file using USB??? it quite often gets saturated, so takes hours...

I will bet Wi-Fi 802.11n will get there faster...

still waiting for a worthy expert..........
 
Just try sharing your S3 your going to need to do that for it to work like a NAS or even try to MAP your S3. Not going to happen. Hows that for a worthy expert????????
 
If you root your you can use an app like Samba Filesharing to make you phone show up on the network so you can map to it.

I don't use airdroid. Nothing I use requires root. BUT everything I do, I do from the phone.

So I want a file from my windows pc? I use my file manager in android. I want to put data from my phone into my NAS? File manager. Linux? File manager.

I pull data to my android and push data from my android. I don't push data from windows or pull data from android. That is the difference in what you asked and what I do.
 
I guess you are lucky enough to have a full android system, with keyboard, mouse, and 10 inch or lrger screen... {{{envy}}}

But you seem to have missed something ***VITAL*** in my last post.... :/

1. Yes. I have a galaxy s3. I can connect a keyboard, mouse, 46" screen to it. Any s3 owner can

2. You cannot natively support browsing your android sdcard on windows. I told you this already.

3. Nothing I have told you requires root. I do not use airdroid so how can I tell you that?!

4. Don't be so rude and ungrateful. No one helps people like this. I've given you the best answers I can.
 
yes, sheldon.... and if you had anything like Leonard Hofstadter, you would see I am being very polite... bazinga!!! :rolleyes:
