Even then, its plucky little dual-core i3 CPU has more than enough juice left for a network file transfer to one device. Android can browse Windows shared folders without downloading anythingAs I said earlier, I'm using a Samsung phone, and so its default file manager is My Files. Now you should see the contents of the shared folder. Unlike using Google Drive or other commercial solutions for network storage, your Windows PC has to be on all the time. For me, since I'm using my dedicated Plex server to host the network share, that's a non-issue.
