Windows 10: How to acess my shared folders on windows 10 pc using an android device

Hi guys,

Until some time ago i was able to acess my entire media collection on my pc using the android app ES FILE EXPLORER.

The app did almost all the work. It deteted the shared folders or local network and i was able to watch movies and all kind of media files anywhere in the house using my smartphone or using chromecast for tv viewing.

As far as i know the ES File Explorer was removed from the Play Store.

I used an apk of the app but when i tried to acess the content of my LAN it asked for a premium membership and credit card details.

It didin't sound legit so i refused.

What i want to ask you guys is how can i do the same nowadays? I have thousands of movies and audio files and i would really like to have acess to them in my room or everywhere in the house using my android device.

Can you please tell how to do it, if there's other ways.

As a note when i used to acess the pc files i was using windows 7, now i have windows 10, that doesn't allow to create a domestic network.

All my devices are android, and my computer uses Windows 10, version 21H2.

Any help would by greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

How to stop sharing folder for windows 10?

Referring to following link, I would like to know on how to stop sharing folder for windows 10.

I cannot find Stop Sharing option on step 5.

Use these steps to stop sharing any folder on Windows 10:

1. Open Start.
   
2. Search for Computer Management and click the top result to open the experience.
   
3. Expand the Shared Folders branch from the left pane.
   
4. Click the Shares item.
   
5. Right-click the folder that you no longer want to share and the Stop Sharing option.
   

Furthermore, ADMIN$ is found to be Remote Admin under computer management.

There is no option to stop it as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop sharing and remote?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
