    Quick Tutorial: How to seamlessly integrate Android with your desktop

    *Summary:*
    This is a general purpose solution EVERYONE can run right now!
     Step 1: Install & configure two WebDAV servers on your Android phone
     Step 2: Install & configure adb & scrcpy mirroring on your Windows
    desktop
     Step 3: Connect both Android & your desktop to your home Wi-Fi network >>>
     Voila!
     Sharing of the Android phone as a Windows drive letter with keyboard
     mirroring, mousing, clipboard, monitor & screenshot capabilities.

    *Recommendations:*
     O: => Use OliveTree for the internal sdcard (& read-only root
    partition)
     X: => Use BestDav for the external sdcard (see reasons for that below) >>>
    Internal sdcard (plus the Android read-only file system)
    net use O: \\192.168.1.4@8000\DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar   *WebDAV
    Server* by The Olive Tree   Contains ads, requires GSF, rated 3.5 out
    of 841 reviews & 100K+ downloads

    <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.webdavserver>


    Notes: Use the OliveTree WebDAV server for full access to the
    internal sdcard.
    Do not use the OliveTree WebDAV server for the external sdcard.

    Home Directory
    (_) Root (/) === / (this works but does NOT access the external sdcard)
    (_) sdCard === /storage/emulated/0
    (_) DCIM === /storage/emulated/0/DCIM
    (o) Custom folder (impossible to get to the _external_ sdcard from
    here!)
        / ==> almost the entire internal sdcard (including read-only parts) >>>     /sdcard ==> the typical writeable internal sdcard including 0000
        /mnt/sdcard ==> the typical writeable internal sdcard including 0000 >>>
        What you can NOT do is select "/storage" which means these won't
    work:
        /storage/emulated/0 ==> internal sdcard
        /storage/0000-0001 ==> external sdcard
    (_) Ext. SdCard ===
    /storage/0000-0001/Android/data/com.theolivetree.webdavserver/files
        You'd think that would work but it's too deep to be useful.

    Notes: Use the BestDAV WebDav server for full access to the external
    sdcard.
    Be advised the BestDav server requires knowledge of the actual
    Android path.

    Home Directory
    [SDCARD]/ ==> this is the writeable internal sdcard including 0000
    / ==> paradoxically, this is the writeable internal sdcard also
    /storage ==> nothing
    /storage/ ==> nothing
    /storage/emulated/0 ==> internal sdcard
    /storage/0000-0001 ==> external sdcard

    Probably not quite the same thing but there are also :

    Apologies.

    Note that the cross post was by accident and that I said so the moment I noticed it and I removed it and replaced it with android at that time.

    We "could" write up a similar thread for iOS as I've already done most of
    it anyway with my iPads, but I've _already_ written how to do it for iOS.

    Many times.

    Unfortunately, it's not worth too much effort to update because the child-like iOS
    posters are, well, because iKooks hate any solution that didn't come from Apple.

    And this solution for mirroring and sharing file systems didn't come from Apple.

    Mirroring of iOS keyboard, mouse, clipboard & screen on the desktop):
    <https://i.postimg.cc/Kz7pW9mL/vysor22.jpg> Installing Apple drivers
    <https://i.postimg.cc/tCvS8nGr/vysor23.jpg> iPad is connected to Win10
    <https://i.postimg.cc/k5gv0yw8/vysor34.jpg> Apple iOS & Android mirroring

    Integration of file systems (iOS, Windows, Android & Linux simultaneously):

    <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_ios020.jpg> Allow device access?
    <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_ios030.jpg> iOS mounts on Ubuntu

    <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_ios060.jpg> For both read & write

    <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_ios130.jpg> iFuse mounts all!
    <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_ios140.jpg> read and write iOS
    <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_ios150.jpg> Copy Win10 to iOS

    <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_ios180.jpg> Read & write all!

    Notice unlike the child-like iKooks, if I say I did it, I did it.
