How to connect network hard drive to galaxy A7

[Immelclan]

Trying to find a simple way to connect a network hard drive to my 2020 galaxy tab A  10.4.  Nothing complex just have movie files on the network family hard drive that I'd like to be able to watch.  My old tab had a simple connection threw the video tab.  and this new one has none of that.  So hope someone can help

Hi Immelclan,

If you want to access network drive to watch video, don't use My Files network setup. It is good for copy and paste files over network. But it doesn't buffering.

Use VLC app to watch movie or video over network. It works really good so far. It does the buffering and no laggaing for me.

Thanks much Tallman, worked great and you are so right about it not having any buffering problems.
