Give every network drive a permanent one-tap place in X-plore: save the server connection with a stable address, pin shortcuts to the folders you actually open, and arrange the dual panes around your real copy workflows.
Start X-plore Wi-Fi server mode on one phone, connect from the other, and move files directly between handsets with no router, cable or cloud upload.
Reach your Synology, QNAP or TrueNAS shares from X-plore over SMB, with a dedicated mobile account and a fixed NAS address so the connection keeps working.
Fix the usual Windows sharing blockers first, then add your PC as an SMB server in X-plore with a real account for reliable two-way file access.
Turn your phone into a local FTP server with X-plore, set a password and a limited folder, and move files to any PC on your home network without a cable.
