Share SD over network

[IMissPalmOS]

I'd like to "share" the SD card in my S4 Active on my Windows network.

I know there are many utilities that will let me access a shared folder on my Windows network *from* my phone (currently using ES File Explorer to do this), but I want to do the opposite - access the SD card in my phone from my Windows PC over my network.

Are there any apps that will allow my to setup my SD as a network share? Thanks for any tips!

You can try "Remote Manager" from "Tools" of ES File Explorer. Then set it up (arrow on bottom right) to share your extSdcard via FTP.

Thanks almec, but I need to access it as a "real" share, not via FTP. I had been using the Samba Filesharing app, but it doesn't work with Android 4.2+ and looks like it never will... (There is a patch for it, but reviews say it is very buggy)

This and the lack of Mass Storage Mode (why did they remove that anyway) is about to become a deal-breaker between me and this phone. *sigh*

Sorry then. I didn't need true SMB/CIFS implementation. FTP as network location via "Map network drive" Windows function or as a drive via NetDrive is enough for my purposes (see pic). But I hate the lack of mass storage mode too.
