Help Need Step By Step Instructions For Moving Files via WiFi Using ES File Explorer

[drexappeal]

Yeah it went much faster on AirDroid so I don't think it's the wifi. I'll give it another try though soon.

Yeah, that's very strange. I found Solid Explorer to be so much faster, since all the tasks were being performed through File Explorer on my PC. Copy and paste seemed to be the most reliable, rather than drag and drop (but I do that even when transferring files within my PC). That's the other thing I liked...you can copy and paste entire folders. I don't remember being able to do that in Airdroid, but I could be mistaken.

You're right, it'd get pissy with you for moving a folder, it's like, c'mon man it's 2013 here.

I can use ES File explorer fine. I can also go to "lan" and it always sees a drive I have attached to my router. It never sees the other computers, I always have to press "scan". I can then see everything I want to, however, it is MUCH easier to use the "send" command. There is even a new shortcut on the sharing menu for all the apps. So, for example, I can look at a picture in the gallery, click the share icon at the top, and then I see "send by lan" as one of the choices. This has a little "es" as part of the icon. It immediately goes into "scanning" mode but then pops up a box that says "please check wireless connection. Or you can create a hotspot location and invite others". There are other options and buttons.

This exact same option can be selected inside ES File Explorer. You find a file on your phone and hold down on it for 3 seconds. The menu at the bottom now changes. To the right is "more" with 3 vertically arranged dots. Select that and there is an option to "send". Same screen as above pops up. It doesn't recognize the network that I can use in the manual method everyone shows here. What am I missing?
