Android to PC file Share - Security at risk

Hello Anuj Indoria,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To address the issue, kindly help us with the following questions.

1. If the computer is connected via cable, may I know how the phone is connected to the computer?
2. If the computer is connected via Wi-Fi, may I know how the phone is connected to the computer?
3. When you connect the computer via Wi-Fi, will it asks for the Wi-Fi credentials or the computer credentials?

I would recommend you to check with the below suggestions and see if it works.

Method 1: Turn on password protected sharing.

If the password protected sharing is on, only people who have a user account and password on that computer can access shared files attached to that computer and the Public folders. To restrict other people access, you must turn on password protected sharing.
To do that

• Go to search window and type Managed advanced sharing settings and click on it.
  
• Click the down arrow on the right of All Networks to expand the settings.
  
• Select Turn on password protected sharing from the list and click on
  Save changes.

Method 2: Create a shared folder.

You can share files between your android and PC and keep it encrypted by creating a shared folder from the following steps.

• Create a shared folder and assign a name to it.
• In ES File Explorer on your phone, hit the globe icon which is on the upper-left corner and navigate the network - LAN.
  
• Click Search on the menu from the bottom to search for networks (Make sure to connect the phone and PC till you get the IP Address of your PC).
  
• Click the icon and add your Username and Password.
• After creating a shared folder, you can easily add sharing files back and forth using ES File explorer.
  

Hope it helps.

view pc files from Android stopped working

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

This issue could be caused when the pc is not set to discoverable over the network.

1. How are you trying to share the file?
   
2. Are you accessing the file over Bluetooth/Hotspot or over WIFI?
   

Try few of the troubleshooting below to further eliminate the cause of the issue.

Steps:

1. I suggest you to create a share folder on your computer, right click and share it with both read and write permission, and check if that helps.
   
2. You can try to check the article on
   
   Changes to file sharing over a network in Windows 10 and check if this helps.
   

If you still face the issue, I suggest to contact
ES Explorer support, scroll down the page and find the support contact.

Hope it helps.

Win 7 PC can't see shared folder of Win 10 PC

I have small home network. The Home Group sharing capabilities are working both ways.

For some reason the Win 10 PC do not appear in the network list in my Win 7 PC, while the Win 7 PC do appear in the Win 10 network list (and can access it's shared folders).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
