This is just what I need. This thread needs more attention !!

I only struggled to initially find the ADB connection properties context menu. I thought it wasn't working.

I had to click 'This PC' from the left menu of Explorer, right click Network ADB and then pin to Quick Access where I could then right click on it.

@svansvan

Scrolling down directory lists will intermittently freeze.

My main issue is that it doesn't seem to have RW permissions in System folders.

I think your default command is mount -o remount,rw [DIR]
On Android 7 is it mount -o rw,remount?

Right click on device folder - in context menu click Info (or Properties - I do not remember) and you can change permissions and change adb commands for change permissions.
I apologize for the abstract answer.
But I have not worked with this program for a long time

This may of been mentioned but I missed it if it was.....

easiest way to connect to device over Lan or WiFi is...

adb connect <IP address of device>:5555
when you done using adb
adb disconeect <same as above>?

Of course, debugging is always required. The thing I like the most is I never need to use anything other than Universal Drivers.
Worth mentioning: this does not work in recovery for obvious reasons...

Doesn't work for me for USB HHD connectd to TV, everything looks fine but when I go through storage to mounted USB drive, I see there folders I have on HDD but in the name of these folders is incuded some timestamp. So the folder "Movies" is displayed as "13:47 Movies" and if I open this folder there is only "or directory" named folder and nothing else. Only way which is working this for me is via total commander and plugin "Android ADB 8.3".

I agree! First of all, thanks for this nice tool!

I had no problems with installation on w7prox64 and usage.

When I change permissions, I see in the detail window permission changed.
But whatever I change, I'm unable to copy files. What am I doing wrong? Can anybody help? Maybe I'm not su?

@svansvan: What do you want to express with the word "Skeep" in the detail window?

It would be nice to be able to expand and collapse folders. Also, when someone does a search in windows explorer, it just does the search in the selected hierarchy but not in the subfolder.

Could you please order the drop down menu of Owner/Group in alphabetical order? I think it's way easier to use.

I wonder, there is not that interest in this helpful tool.

Are you sure, you are in the right folder? I'm a linux rookie and sometimes I'm just lost in the file system.

Yes, I am sure, the path is the same as when I use ADB plugin for total commander or adb explorer integrated in Android Studio but there I have the folders displayed correctly including content. I use Windows 10, it could be the problem...

"Movies" is displayed as "13:47 Movies"
Yes - this is a BUG.
Adb command to parse directory data: shell ls {0} -la
{0} - root dirrectory. I need all text if you run in adb console command:
shell ls /storage/SEOA-1F4A/ -la
-----------------------------------------------------------

word "Skeep" in the detail window
this means that you can not change Owner/Group
for what reasons, I don `t know. If you run in adb console command:
shell "su -c 'chown system.system /sys/power/wakeup_count'"
you will get more detailed information about the error
The program is just a shell that executes similar commands.
and the reasons why these commands do not work out can be a lot

"It would be nice to be able to expand and collapse folders. Also, when someone does a search in windows explorer, it just does the search in the selected hierarchy but not in the subfolder."
I wanted to do it, but it turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
"Could you please order the drop down menu of Owner/Group in alphabetical order? I think it's way easier to use."
Sorting is easy.

----------
because the program was not interesting, I abandoned its development.
The source code is posted on the site, and github

Works with Oneplus 7 Pro, and Essential PH1, just update the adb/fastboot binaries to the latest, and restart your system. I'd add them to the installer if I knew how too.

    Hi,
    i have .NET 4.5.1 installed. And only Win7Pro.
    I will try your latest x32 and report back.
    Thanks a lot!
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    If it does not work at all, try update .NET to 4.6 version and restart PC.
    do you have this path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe
    if folder v4.0.30319 not exist, try find in folders(subfolders) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework program RegAsm.exe
    This program is needed to register 2 dll`s (WindowsShell.dll, NsEx3.dll).
    copy RegAsm.exe to install folder (where placed NetworkADB.exe)
    in console (run console as administrator!) run:
    1) RegAsm.exe WindowsShell.dll /codebase
    2) RegAsm.exe NsEx3.dll /codebase
    in output you can see like: Types are registered successfully
    In general, the entire installation is reduced to registering these two dll files using the .NET program regasm.exe
    If the registration is successful - everything will work.
    After, using Task Manager - kill process explorer.exe, and run new task explorer.exe (restart explorer.exe)
    This is the maximally-extended technical documentation that I could give.
