Actually its not a need-based question as I rarely do transfer my books or photos or music between my computer and phone, but it is rather a theoretical question, because ideally every device connected on the same network should have inter-access to each other. When the phones and computers can access the central HDD flawlessly, why do they not access each other on the same network and map their storages as network drives?
I remember an year back or two, when I used another android phone, it's contents were mapped as a network drive on my computer, and similarly, I could access the HDD's of my computer from the file manager (eg. ES File Explorer or ASUS File Manager) apps on my phone. In fact, I want to establish an ideal network with full accessibility and sharing enabled between the devices connected on the network. This now apparently has become a task beyond my technical knowledge, I guess.
As far as the transfer of media is concerned, I can resort to connecting the phone through USB or take a longer route to first copy and paste the files to my central storage HDD and then again copying them from the destination device. But this is not an ideal situation.
