App to add button to share menu for Windows LAN?

[Deleted User]

When I take pics or screenshots or save whatever to my phone I want to be able to quickly copy them to my Windows computer through the router without having to use a USB cable. The quickest method I've found is to tap the share menu then select Drive, upload them, then download them from the Windows computer.

However this seems far more laborious and time-consuming than it should be; I'm looking for an app that will add a button to the share menu to share to a computer over LAN (doesn't have to be a Windows computer, it could be a Linux shared folder or NAS or some USB drive connected to the router). For instance the Windows folder would one of the "Public" folders that may make me sign in.

I use ES File Manager which allows me to find shared resources on the network and copy files over manually, but I have to know the name of the file (and they're generally named gobbledygook), but the only buttons it adds to the share menu is "Share by LAN" which only connects to other Android devices, and "ES Save To" which only lets you save to a folder on the phone. I've yet to find an app that easily lets me share to a network folder.

Use "ES Save to". Once the folder selection interface opens up you'll see an "up arrow" on the right side of the bar where the current folder name is listed. Press the "up arrow" several times and you'll be able to select any server/folder configured in ES File Explorer.

I don't get that. The up arrow is gray.

I don't get that. The up arrow is gray.

Create and share a folder on your puter.

Press the "+" button in the ES LAN window.

Enter your puter's network name and folder you just created, and check the anonymous box in the dialog.

My puter's name is DELL and the folder I share is named "0".

So I enter DELL/0 in the dialog.

Now you can browse in ES and select file(s) to transfer via the more - share - ES Save to... option.

Press the GRAY up-arrow in the ES destination folder window until you get to the top of the folder system, and you should see your computerNetworkName/sharedFolderName. Select it and you're done.

Don't forget to unshare your 'puter's shared folder when you're done.

Thank me very much...

I've done that but it forgets the network connections periodically, so this isn't feasible. The share button ES Save To should take me to the LAN connect page if there's nothing connected. There is currently no other app I know that will always give me a share button to always allow me to share to a network shared resource without having to exit the thing I'm looking at that has the share button.
