Samba and Android

hello to all
I shared a folder from an Android device and so everything is right
what I can not understand is why, in Dolphin, the Android’s device icon does not appear with other network devices under the “samba shares”, but under the folder “Net”, along with sftp and ssh etc…

Android doesn’t use SAMBA.

no it is wrong
has its apps, “samba server” and “samba client”
furthermore, I use a very useful network transparent file manager ( ES file manager )

What specific app have you installed on your Android device to provide a
SAMBA server?

I’ve used ssh before
But currently I just use my gdrive

its name is in fact, “Samba Server”

Hi

Why would make a mobile device a server?

If it works, I would consider using it. It would probably work to upload/download files to the
thing, as bluetooth doesn’t seem to work. I would prefer ssh, though.

Yeah, I use andftp to move stuff between my Android devices and desktop -
or btsync (which is /really/ nice).
