Open Windows Folder To Raspberry Pi® 3B+ Shared Folder

You need the following Scenome® modules to complete all exercises involving the Raspberry Pi 3B+: Scenome® Platform Binaries, Scenome® Export Module

You can skip this section if you already know how to copy files from your Windows® PC to your Raspberry Pi® 3B+ device.

When working with the Raspberry Pi® 3B+, it is convenient to have an easy way to transfer files between the Windows® development PC and the Raspberry Pi® 3B+. This exercise shows one of many ways this can be done. The steps will include:

1. Setting up a SAMBA server on the Raspberry Pi® 3B+.
2. Creating a shared folder on the Raspberry Pi® 3B+.
3. Mapping the shared folder as a Windows® hard drive. Ex: D:\, E:\, or F:\.

Once this has been done, files can easily be moved between the Windows® development PC and the Raspberry Pi® 3B+.

   Once this shared folder has been created the instructions explain how to map a Windows drive to it. Using this mapped drive you can easily transfer files between your Windows® development PC and the Raspberry Pi® 3B+.

Open The Folder

1. Using Windows® Explorer, open the drive mapped to the Raspberry Pi® 3B+ shared folder created in the previous steps.
2. Open the shared folder.

   You'll create new folders here during Raspberry Pi® 3/4 exercises.
