How do I share a folder on a Windows 8 machine only with a specific non Windows machine (Android via LAN/SMB to be exact)?
a.k. On Android I'm using a file manager app called Solid Explorer if that would help.

Thanks

You need to set the sharing settings so that only specific user(s) have access to that share (sharing > advanced sharing > permissions, remove evryone and add the user you wan't to have access to that share). You can't set access permissions based on device in Windows afaik.
