What is the problem?

File upload from PC to Octopi
How can I configure Octopi to see and load files from my PC over my local network?

Hello @LilRedExp !

Please do not mix up OctoPi and OctoPrint

What is the difference between OctoPrint and OctoPi? Are they the same thing?

As I’m sure you know, Home Assistant has this same problem. Home Assistant was the actual software. Then they have HassOS which is the OS that runs on a Pi. Then they have Hassio which is Home Assistant and its addons running as Docker containers. And the icing on top is that they literally just renamed Home Assistant into Home Assistant Core and Hassio into Home Assistant. Super confusing. Hopefully OP doesn’t need to go through anything like that.

There are different ways:

• You can drag and drop files from the file explorer to the OctoPrint GUI.
• You can use the upload button at the bottom of the files section on the left side
• You can directly upload gcode files from various slicers to OctoPrint.

I think the best way is to configure Samba on the raspberry pi. A search on line will show the fairly easy steps to setup and configure samba. You can then save gcode files from windows PC to the watched folder and they will appear in the uploaded folder. You could also map a network drive to the watched folder.

I solved my problem by using SimplyPrint!
