You can use Samba server to achieve that, and for that purpose I'd recommend LAN Drive and it works without root and it supports SMB1 (CIFS) and SMB2 protocols.

In this way, the device acts as a network drive where you can manipulate files/folders (copy/paste/move/delete etc) as if there were on local drive. However a little well known obstacle is that Windows can access a samba share only on TCP port 445, and on a non-rooted android a normal application can't listen on port 445.

As mentioned already in this post: Using SMB server without root access,

SMB either runs on ports 137-139 (UDP and TCP) using NetBIOS or on newer systems (from Windows Vista onwards) directly on TCP port 445 where in the latter case computer names are resolved by the LLMNR (Link-local Multicast Name Resolution) protocol which runs on UDP port > 5355

.

Thus apps not running as root can't bind to unprivileged ports (<1024). This is possible, nevertheless using TCP Port mapping. You need to install a port mapping software.

Instructions

1. Install the port forwarder - Multi Port Forwarder (the suggested one in App's tutorial)
2. Configure the port forwarder:

• The rules we will implement :

• Rewrite outgoing TCP packets to ip-phone:445 become ip-phone:1445

• Cloning outgoing UDP packets to any:137 become any:1137

• Cloning outgoing UDP packets to any:138 become any:1138 Note: We clone the UDP

packets to not break the actual network discovery.

3. Add TCP, UDP rules and save

4. Change the ports in the LAN drive settings, click the Save button and Start the server:

5. Go back to Explorer in the network places (Windows), and access LAN drive
