N95 External Drive !

8 replies · 2,917 views · Started 31 October 2007

is there a way or software that if I plug my USB cable I can have the PC drives shown on N95 so it will become as an external drive ? so if I install a program it will give me a choices more than internal memory or SD card. 😉

Just to clarify, do you want:
1) Your PC to see your phone as a USB drive that you can install onto
2) Your phone to see the PC hard drives and allow you to install to them

I think he meant the 2nd one. And the answer is no 😊

yes second one 😊

Which have a slave port .. this allows them to act as a storage device for the N95 or other similar devices .. That is pretty much the only thing I can think of.

However SymSmb v2.0 will allow you to read and write to network drives.

Good luck!😊

You are correct with the Iriver devices that can act as a Master USB. But this does not achieve what he had asked - to attach a drive onto the phone and get an extra drive on the phone itself (eg. an F: drive that goes into the USB hdd). The IRiver however, would recognise the phone though as another hard drive and use it that way.. so still doesnt achieve it.

Have you tried SymSMB? It uses wifi and windows file sharing so that you can access shared folders on your network, or set your phone up as a shared folder.
e.g. I can get to my photos by going to :

\\n95\Disk_E\Images\
