An application for Android SMB file sharing?

[Wombatt]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for an application for my android phone, that allows me to mount it as an SMB network share under OSX.

I have tried FTP services, but this only allows reading privileges due to a limitation in OSX.

Any suggestions or workarounds would be appreciated!

Try EsFile Explorer :)

From what I can find, EsFile explorer allows me to see, and access a shared folder on OSX, but doesn't allow me to create a shared resource on my phone.

I use WiFi File Explorer. It sets up a server on your phone, then you can point your browser to your device's IP address, and download/upload anything from your phone that your heart desires. I can't live without it.

cifsmanager

this will allow you to map a SMB/cifs share as a folder on your device. Mobo plays nice this way over network.

99% this requires superuser/root.

Yes, I have been using this for years now, its great and works, but I'm now looking for Finder integration. ;)

Samba Filesharing. It works great. (Y)

For any of those who were also after answers to this problem, there has been a fantastic new app recently released on Google Play

Another update:

ES File Explorer, has had a recent update which allows you to mount your phone as a FTP server.
