Next, on your phone, launch the ES File Explorer app then tap the globe icon located in the upper left corner of the screen then go to “Network” and then select “LAN.” After this, tap “Search” at the bottom to search for available network shares on your local area network.
If your Android device can’t find any, make sure your computer and your Android are connected to the same network and try again. If the search is successful, your computer will appear with its IP address. Next, tap the icon for your computer then enter your Windows username and password.
