Very good for connecting to my server.

downloading files from an SMB share corrupts the files

This app is very similar to the FileBrowser app I use on my iPhone. In similar fashion, Network Browser allows me to easily access files of all kinds on my Apple Studio. Not only can I read and view them, but when it comes to text files -- including HTML docs -- I can edit them from my Android. Well done!

About this app

Network Browser is a simple file manager/browser utility for browsing files on your Windows network. It can connect to standard Windows or Samba shares. Use it to browse files on your Samba shares, view pictures, play network music, watch videos that you are on your network, etc.

Presently, Network Browser should be able to connect to most Microsoft Windows or Linux and Mac OSX smb samba network shared folders. You need to know the IP address of the network server you are trying to connect to. You can connect as guest, or supply your username and password.

You can also open files that you find on your network. Tapping on a file will open it in the default editor on your Android system. Currently saving and uploading is not supported, but if there is interest in the project I can certainly work to add these features.

Network Browser now supports music and video streaming over the network! The current release only supports mp3 format for music and m4v and mp4 formats for videos, but I plan on adding support for more media formats in the future. Give it a try and let me know which formats you want me to work on next! Network Browser can now be your ultimate home network media streaming app!

Network Browser now supports Android TV! Stream videos from your network straight onto your Android TV device.

Network Browser is for you guys, so if there is any interest in this project, I will add any features that you want or request. With time and effort this could be a fully functional network file manager and Windows Networking app, but if there is no interest in the project then I will not put the time into it. Just let me know!

Network Browser relies on functionality from the JCIFS library, which can be found here:
