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.
