Hi there. I was planning to use the tv box as a torrent box, too, for some local shows and movies I won't found on kodi repos. My question is how can I share the attached HDD to the network in such manner to be able to write files on it? I need to copy torrent files in a watched folder, in order to automatically download them with the torrent client I already installed on my X6. I can't figure any way to share this storage in local network, the disk is NTFS format and don't want to detach it every time I need to write files on it, since it is linked to a device which at its turn is linked to a network. I guess there should be some kind of samba server involved? Any ideas? I have tried to search this forum but no luck. Thanks for your answer, anyway.
Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.sambaserver Though I've not tested it...
i use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sambadroid running perfect
Thanks, while you wrote this, I was digging myself in play store and installed sambadroid. it seems fine so far.
Yeah, I noticed that, but our tv box is not so generous in USB ports, so one share is enough so far, I paired it with a 320 GB hdd of 2,5'' and a logitech k400 keyboard.. quite enough. I was planning to get a game controller sometime, will see if a bluetooth one or radio via usb.
Else, if an Android FTP Server is enough (I think so, SMB is slower than FTP), you can install F-Droid from its site https://f-droid.org/ (have a look to it, is worth the visit!), and using F-Droid itself you can install "FTP Server" (demo but not limited), besides of a lot of other "open source" android apps.
