ES file Explorer problem

[Marc cote]

I have a Google pixel phone with ES File Explorer and I was able to add files to the desktop but now it doesn't work

So what has changed in the meanwhile? Updated ES, updated the phone, changed permissions, or changed or updated the launcher?

Does it work if you use another file explorer (one with a less dodgy record on privacy than ES, for example)?

I haven't changed anything or updated anything that I know...and I could not find any other file Explorer that does that function.

Any file manager app with networking capability will have to rely on your WiFi network to connect to your desktop computer, try restarting your router. If there's still a problem, go into your router's setup menu and there should be some kind of 'connected devices' option. Check to see that both your mobile device and your desktop computer are both connected to your home local network.
