file sharing / access over mifi 3g hotspot device

    Hi, I picked up a 3G hotspot device - Huawei E5220.
    You can connect up to 10 devices to it to share the 3G access. It uses an SSID and password, like a standard wifi router does.
    However, I'm wondering if it's possible to share / access files through it. For example, I would like to be able to play video files, located on my pc, on my nexus tablet. Any ideas?

    If PC's can ping each other, it should do yes

    This can be closed. Figured out how to do it. Es file explorer on android will allow access to shared folders on pc's through wifi on the 3g wifi unit.
