Does the Android version of LaunchBox support network shares?

Hello,

I've used LaunchBox on desktop for a while now and was considering getting an Android license.

The tablet I'd use though, doesn't have much storage and so I was wondering if using network shares is an option (from a NAS that's always on).

Not a massive issue if it can't, would just save me buying a microSD card.

At the moment the only device that I believe has NAS support is some of the Nvidia shield TV models.

This is more to do with the fact that Android doesn't have universal network share support built into the operating system. So, if you think about it, if we built support to read network shares into LaunchBox, and then try and send the file path to the emulator, they'd basically return an error not understanding where that path is.

In saying that, I wouldn't necessarily rule out some type of network share support in the future, but it wouldn't be nearly as smooth as if Android itself started supporting network shares.
