>And if I setup this server and then create hotpot and connect other device to that hotspot, will the files be accessible?
Yes. Alternatively you can try this app which has WiFi hotspot feature integrated: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
There is an app that if I remember correctly makes your phone into a network drive (need same wifi for phone and pc). WiFi FTP Server
If transferring files is all you need, setting up ftp may help as well.
The process is pretty straight-forward, actually:
Step 1: install a ftp server app from play store on your phone. There are plenty of them,
I suggest this one. You can set up the username and password as per your preference in settings. Keep in mind that the phone and the pc needs to be on the same local network (same Wi-Fi, or you can just connect the computer with the hotspot from your phone)
Step 2: open files app in elementary, on the side pane under network section, click on connect server.
Step 3: Select the type as 'ftp with login' from the drop-down menu, and then fill the local ip address (provided in the app in step 1). If you are using your phone as a hotspot it'll almost always be 192.168.43.1 and the port is 2221 by default, you can leave it as it is.
Fill in the user details, and you're good to go.
You can see all the files on your device in a new tab. You can even bookmark it, and you won't have to enter the IP address ever again.
Basically, i guess, by "find the phone" you mean "look at its files from a computer". The easiest way to do this, IMO, is installing an FTP server app on the phone. You can use any of them, this is the first one that comes up in Play search - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
It will give you all the details needed to connect, you just type the URL into Windows10 "search", and use the user/password the app tells you when prompted.
You could try this app, ive used it when I dont have my cable. Its an ftp server you can setup on your phone
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver&hl=en_US
FTP Server for Android on both phones, then use your computer's Explorer (file explorer) to navigate to your phones FTP server and pull the files like that. Should be as fast as your wifi will allow (may still take some time for 7+GB).
Or USB thumb drive with OTG cable.
I'm not MacBook user right now, but instructions on different platform the same.
Install to android phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
Install to MacBook https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?platform=osx
Connect MacBook and phone to same wifi network
Start ftp server on your android phone (just press "start" in app)
Optional (highly recommend). Go to filezilla on your MacBook and select checkbox transfer --> "Preserve timestamps of transferred files". It should be turn on
Insert ftp url, user, password in filezilla on your MacBook and connect.
That's all.
No longer a windows user but this app worked super well for me. Big files transfer very quickly and you can access your whole phone. The app looks ugly but functionally is great, it will just show your phone in the default windows file manager.

Instead, you can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver, its interface is simpler, the usage is the same (via gFTP or Filezilla client).
If I understand correctly what you wanna do, then there's a program called "Allavsoft" for pc that lets you download anything from Spotify if you have a link. It has a free trial with limited amount of downloads, but there are cracks for it. You can transfer .mp3 from a pc to a phone through a cable (or if you're experienced and wanna wirelessly then through FTP with eg. this android app as a server https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver and FileZilla as a client)
Use WiFi FTP Server
u only have to install an app on phone
Doesn't require to be connected to the internet just enable your phone Hotspot and on ur PC connect to the wifi from your phone Hotspot.
I add my roms via ftp. I install from the Google play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
Then I ftp from pc to android. I find it the easiest way to get stuff to and from an android device.
No. It's just a local server.
The problem with transferring playlists from Windows to Android is that the music files don't have the same path on both OS, so the playlists will come out empty on Android. You'll need to edit the paths to match your Android library. For a one-time operation, it's fine, but if you need to do this frequently, it's a problem.
If you listen on both OS, here's what I suggest
Since both Gonemad and Musicbee use the same tracks ratings system, rate your playlists in Musicbee , ie. Give all tracks in playlist A, 5 star, playlist B, 4 stars (or 4.5 stars ), etc.
Install Freefilesync (Windows) and any FTP server on Android (i use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver)
Create a folder pair with your music library location on 1 side and the FTP server path on the other.
Do a mirror sync. Then create autoplaylists in Musicbee with star rating as criteria and create smart playlists in Gonemad with same criteria.
Use bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo and put your files on a usb drive. Or install an app via play.google.com on your phone that lets you access all your files on your phone via ftp on a pc, like this one.
You could also install teamviewer on your phone and control it using your pc.
Find a WiFi file transfer app. There are tons. I find it more reliable and convenient than using the USB cable. I use this one. It's an ftp server, so in windows explorer (like, what you use to view folders on your computer) type the URL it shows you (ftp://192.x.x.x:1234 or whatever it says)
An FTP Server is an interesting way
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
I use this. You will need an ftp client like filezilla on your computer to interact with it.
If you don't care about speed, you could try out Wi-Fi FTP apps. I've used WiFi FTP Server and it worked great for what you're trying to do.
edit: unless you mean the digitizer is also broken and you can't operate the phone.
Install an ftp server on your phone then turn on the hotspot and navigate to the server page through the browser on the kobo
A simple Wifi FTP server is sufficient, like that:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
did you find a solution to this, if so could you share?
this app might help if you haven't, have only tried it on mobile oreo not sure of TV yet,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
You could also try something like WiFi FTP Server. Start up a server on your phone and then connect to it using ES or another explorer with FTP capabilities. As another FTP option, some Netgear routers have a Readyshare feature that is basically like an FTP server that devices on your network can connect to. If you have a netgear router, you could see whether it supports the feature. There are a number of file sharing apps you could try as well that use wifi, wifi direct, bluetooth, or the like. Wifi direct or bluetooth would definitely bypass any issues of your router blocking the data transfer.
Change your connection mode:

or use an app to browse files over the Wi-Fi connection:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
Instead of using the cable, I prefer WiFi solutions. For example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
You could try that. I used this one a lot back in the day https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
I don’t have an android phone anymore, but I used an FTP server app for this.
I believe it was this one
Connect the laptop and the phone to a free public WiFi spot and transfer the files by using FTP transfer
You can transfer files over the WiFi https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
I hate cables and prefer transferring files over WiFi, by using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
I dont own an android device but this one s got lot of good reviews.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver&hl=en&gl=US
Install an FTP server on your phone then copy paste from your phone in Dolpin.
On the android side I recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
Well if you havent got any buget it is quite hard. If you really wanted to host your files on Android you could for example do it with an App like this. But it really isnt recommended as phones are far from reliable. A much better option would be to use an old computer or an Raspberry Pi and put some hard drives in it and run Nextcloud for example. Im sorry to "destroy your dream" of an own cloud but it isnt quite as easy. Having said that with like 80$ of budget you can build yourself a quite decent NAS. If you need any help with that feel free to ask for help here or in r/NextCloud.
Sorry for the bad grammar, I´m from Germany
if both devices connected to the same wifi network, you can use local ftp app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
I'm using this one, and Filezilla on my computer. Works like a charm, and it's FAST ! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver&hl=fr&gl=US
Try this FTP server it is very practical. You can map your phone to the "My Computer" on Windows...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
Freefilesync + this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver). I previously used Mixplorer but it's not working well for me.
Could be a number of different things. Try using a wireless option like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
The reason you don't see your photos/folders on your pc could also be an MTP issue. I sometimes have this too. Try this app which opens an ftp server from your phone via wifi: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver&hl=en
Do you see the folders and files this way on your pc?
Additionally, when you open one of the said photos in QuickPic, you can go into details which will show you the location of the photo. Last but not least, don't use QuickPic from the PlayStore! It has become filled with crapware / background services by CheetahMobile since its acquisition.
Here you can grab the recent version with all CM crap removed (mod2) No more background services https://plus.google.com/+FelixF/posts/7Fmk1XKFVqN
Or you can use the last version before CM bought the app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-quickpic-v4-5-2-classic-version-t3204543
Also DO NOT UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU WANT TO RESTORE YOUR FILES!!! (sorry for caps)
Your data partition is encrypted, unlocking the bootloader will format it and create a new encryption. If your are using the Op3, the filesystem will additionally be switched from ext4 to f2fs. You will not be able to recover anything this way! It will be 100% lost!
Why not just edit it on the device itself? You could also have it running as a FTP server. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver
