Hello Android pro's.
I have a GS3 and I travel a lot...I use a Sprint Overdrive Pro portable hot spot (my work pays for it)
It has a memory card and I store some movies on it while on the go so I don't kill my min watching them on netflix etc....
On my Ipad I have an app called "file browser" it finds the device, I log in and presto I can watch any of the 30 movies that I have loaded on the card.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this on my GS3.
Here are the instructions taken from the hotspot itself. None of these work for me.
Any suggestions as to how I get to this device's memory card?
The side of your device has a slot for a microSD card; cards up to 16 GB are supported.Storing, sharing and reading files (such as documents or music) on your microSD card is easy.

Start > Run > \\OverdrivePro\shared
Mac:
1. In Finder, select Go > Connect to Server.
2. Type smb://OverdrivePro/shared
3. In Finder, double-click the shared drive.
Linux:
Open the file browser and, in the address bar, type smb://OverdrivePro/shared
- or -
Open the run menu (Alt+F2) and type smb://OverdrivePro/shared
If you’ve enabled security, you must give the guest username and password to the users.
