Hi, on f-droid there’s an app called Android Samba Client but I can’t get it to connect to my shared folder because of permissions - it says, but I can’t find a lot of documentation about it.

Have you seen this?

I’m hoping that it’s not connecting because of something I’m doing wrong - and maybe I can figure it out later (poss. because of my lack of understanding on my part of the way plex should share permissions with other devices).

If you get anywhere further, please let me know. - it just doesn’t seem to be a well covered topic unfortunately.

Yeah, sorry - I misunderstood you. The link is good, thanks for providing it. Some of it is a little above my head, but when I look at X-plore and my plex server I can see in the properties that it’s using smb V2 to connect.

So, I guess the means of permanently having a remote drive connected for Android to access isn’t a pipe dream. It’s now just figuring out the best way to achieve it.

So, I’ll try to explore some of that links info and see if I can get anywhere with it.

Thanks again for taking the time.

I’m thinking maybe mount as you say using Xplore and bring in Syncthing to move the file across onto the server. Thanks for the idea.
