Did not work for me when trying to connect to my Android phone server from Windows 10. In fairness it can *probably* be made to work if you're commited and willing to spend several hours learning about network ports and how to configure them... But yeah, this app is definitely not usable to the average Joe.

Looks great. I want non root access, so I added 1000 to the port numbers in the app. Then I mapped the ports in the router and opened them up in the firewall. Et voila! I see the phone as a network drive. Strangely, before, I could see all the other computers in the network but now they are gone, except for a Windows machine. I don't even see the workstation, itself. Anyway, that's not the real problem. The problem is that I cannot open the shared network folder. It gives a message about the device refusing connections. I gave 2stars because I really appreciate the effort you have taken. If you have any solution to my issue, I will gladly change the rating to 5 stars and probably buy the app.

Change the authentication to "Anonymous" instead of "Anonymous with confirmation" in "Users" page and let me know. Did you tried my solution ?

Simple and easy to setup and make it work!!! A little note: may need to share top root of device that stored 'shared sub folders' or else you need to re-pickup shared folder everytime after restart the device. After use for a while, it's seem smb service will be error when try to access folder that contains many files (18 still ok, 38 become invalid smb).
