View photos that are stored on your Linux Mint Pc on your Android tablet

How to view photos on a tablet (photos are stored on a PC)

I currently use Linux Mint as desktop PC and an Android tablet.
My photos are stored on the desktop PC, but I wanted to view them also on my tablet.

This is what I did:

1. On the Linux Mint desktop PC : download system-config-samba
2. Start this program and click on the + to add a directory (in my case: /mnt/data/Our Pictures)
1. On the Basic tab :
1. Directory : /mnt/data/Our Pictures
2. Share name : Our Pictures
3. [x] Visible
2. On the Access tab : [x] Allow access to everyone
   Note: If you want a more secure access, you can choose to allow access to specific users
3. On the Android tablet: Go to the Play Store and Search for "smb client"; Download (and install of course) ES File Explorer File
4. Start ES File Explorer
5. On the top left click on the 3 horizontal bars to display the menu and choose "Network" > Lan
   Click on the + (New):
1. Server: /Our Pictures e.g. 192.168.1.3/Our Pictures
2. [x] Anonymous
3. Display as : Our Pictures on my desktop PC
6. Now if you click on "Our Pictures on my desktop PC" you'll see the files  on the desktop pc
