I have AnExplorer and I can find them with the Videos option in the menu, but I'd like to know the actual save location. I can't seem to find it, and I haven't found any answers by Googling. I'd like to be able to access the videos from my computer to transfer over to my laptop.
I appeared to have found it:
Code:
/storage/emulated/11/Movies/Game Recordings
Now the problem is that I can't access it it. Neither from my laptop, nor from the Shield. From my laptop, I access it via the Network, and my only option is "Internal" which brings me to the internal part, and not the "Phone" part that the file explorers label it (I guess the root filesystem? I don't know...).
And on the Shield, I have tried AnExplorer and ES File Explorer, and ES file explorer shows a blank folder after I get to "emulator". For AnExplorer, after "emulator" it says "Failed to query documents."
The only work around I have found is using ES File Explorer, adding my Google Drive account, and cutting and pasting the video that way (I use the Movies file link). I have Google Drive hooked up to my laptop, so it automatically downloads it to my laptop's hard drive.

Any FTP app that I have tried on my 10.1 seems to require me to browse my tablet's files FROM my pc and then upload a file on my pc TO the tablet.
I would like Tab to be able to connect to my LAN, and then be able to view my PC's folders FROM my tablet.
Scenario:
1. Using my tablet in bed and want a video or other file on my PC.
2. Way to tired to go downstairs with the tablet, usb link it to the PC, wait for file to transfer, go backupstairs.
3. Would much prefer to keep my lazy butt in bed, and just ftp browse my PC folders (always on) from my Tab
4. Would love it to download in the background, while I do something else on the the tablet in the meantime.
I dont wish to use dropbox or sugarsync to transfer files wirelessly.
I do that already. If the file I want is not in my dropbox then I have to go to the pc anyway. Also, its double the time with a PC upload first, then a tablet download.
I am using Win 7 64x and it would be great to have the Tab as part of my Homegroup.

I have shared all my drives in my PC and use ES file explorer to browse them from my tablet
I use es file explorer all the time . It can access my shared folders of my computer network or download through ftp!
Try the following
Gmote app - lets you stream videos from pc and much more. However you have to run the corresponding software on your pc.
Software cable - this is probably not what you want but it is worth trying due to its simplicity
Cheers
I use es file explorer as well and it works great, my only issue is that large files ie. movies will say they have copied successfully from PC to tablet but when I look for them they are not on the tablet anywhere???
Has anyone else experienced this?
I did transfer once but via cable, and yes, the file disappears. not sure what happened. File Explorer is surely one of the more interesting options out there that supports ftp and http file transfer, but i have yet to do any large file transfers yet.
Hi all,
When I connect my Nexus 7 to my Win7 x64 laptop the system doesn't mount the tablet to a drive letter. It's listed a simply "Nexus 7". I can browse to it, but when I show file details it looks like the OS is thinking everything must be some kind of media (like music files) because the explorer window doesn't show the"modification time". It shows instead Track Number, Artist, Album, Year, Duration.
Thinking it might be Windows Explorer I've also tried Free Commander (a file browser) and get the same results.
Anyone know of a way to get Windows to see the files as something other than music files so I can see all the normal file attributes, especially mod time? The reason I want to do this is I have a bunch of epub files on the tablet and when I get new epubs it's easiest to sort by mod time and compare what's on the tablet vs. what's on my PC and copy all the files newer than the newest file on the tablet. This worked great on my Nook Color, and would love to be able to do the same with the Nexus. Right now it's a real challenge to figure out what I need to copy.
Thanks for any help!
UPDATE: After looking around some more I discovered that Windows 7 is seeing the Nexus as a "Portable Media Player", which is probably why it didn't mount the storage to a drive letter and thinks all the files are some kind of media, thus the file attributes Windows Explorer is showing. So now I guess the question is, how can I get Windows to think this is more than just a media player, and I guess mount the storage to a drive letter like you'd do with a USB flash drive or an external hard drive?

Well, I feel a little foolish about being able to get the mod times on the files. I hardly ever use Windows Explorer so I didn't realize I could just click on the header area where it says "Name, Type, Size, etc.." and simply select "Modification Time". I clicked on that and Voila! the mod times were there for me.
But in the midst of my searching I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774556&highlight=portable+media+player
which had an interesting alternative called AirDroid:

It allows you to view the files on your Android device via wifi from any web browser on your PC/MAC/etc. I tried this app out and although the transfers were quite slow it's a pretty nifty way to copy files to/from an Android device, and it showed me the modification times!

Is there a fastest way to transfer file from PC to USB? I'm transferring Street Fighter IV data but it takes as hell in USB MTP and in Airdroid the web browser hangs "google chrome hangs on transferring" Is there a better way to transfer this 1GB files Thanks
Copying files over Wifi should be faster, and you can use your tablet normally while it happens in the background.
If you're using Windows, put the file in a shared folder and you'll be able to see it through the ES File Explorer app under the LAN section.
That ES File Explorer method should work on me. Thanks to that. That might help me my file transfer
Its amazing that something transfers faster over wifi than directly connected.
This should be simple, I can access my NAS no problem (nfs/smb shares) via file managers, and I've tried various cifs clients, but there does not seem to be any way to get at these shares from the file/open dialog in android, am I missing something, or does android STILL not have any built in way to browse a local network?
Another way to solve my issue would be to browse to the file with es and "open with" my desired app, unfortunately the apps I want to use seem to invariably not be listed, ie I'd like to use smart audiobook reader but is not associated with mp3 files and there seems to be no exposed way to change file associations??
I have a Shield TV. I attached a 2TB external HDD to this and set it up as internal storage. I then transferred a bunch of movies and pictures to internal storage and set up KODI. Everything was fine up until about a month or so ago. I am not sure when exactly.
I went to view some of the pictures and learned that the folders I had put my pictures, movies and TV shows in are no longer available. I cannot find them in KODI, X-plore, or ES File explorer. I would say they may have been deleted by mistake but it appears that I still have them somewhere based on the amount of storage available. I had used about 1TB. I still have just over 1TB used, which would indicate the files are still there somewhere. My problem is that I cannot seem to find them. I tried plugging the HDD into my windows 7 pc it doesn't recognize it.
Any thoughts on how I can go about finding these files? I do not want to reformat as I know they will be wiped.
I found them. I used the Analyze option on ES File Explore and found them buried in the recycle bin. Along with a number of there needed files and folders.
I am the only person that uses this Shield TV. I did not delete these files and folders. Does anyone have an idea of what may have happened so I can avoid in the future?
