You want to connect your Android device to your PC’s shared folders using SMB remotely. Try setting up a local network or using a USB connection to share the folders directly. If that doesn’t work, consider using a cloud-based file sync service or adjusting your firewall settings to allow SMB traffic.

I tested using OpenVPN and accessing shared folders via the server's IP address. It functions perfectly. Please share the specific issue you encounter.

It seems the shared folders aren't visible in my phone's search even though I've turned on sharing. I didn't realize I was using OpenVPN cloud.

You'll likely need to type in the server's IP address yourself, as automatic detection won't function through a VPN.
