Normally, you can use Explorer > Network to browse to the Id and open InternalStorage > Media, but a recent change to Windows 10 browsing has caused problems finding machines with Samba running.
User Smilin_Jim found a solution to a problem I had seen. The Id wasn't showing up as a computer in Explorer > Network.
It looks like a Win10 update changed the Samba requirements. Smilin_Jim post instructions for making it work:

Thank you, Smilin_Jim.

Here's an edited version of his instructions:
1. Control Panel>Programs and Features
2. "Turn Windows Features On and Off" on the left pane.
3. In the pop-up box scroll down to and expand the "SMB1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" topic.
4. "SMB 1.0/CIFS Client" needs to be checked.
5. Reboot

Split Windows 10 Browser Problems and Samba (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,114059.0.html)
We're still thinking about how to handle the Win10 change. The Id may not show up as a Computer in Explorer > Network. You can still connect to it by entering the IP address in Explorer. For example:
\\192.168.0.15
You should see
InternalStorage
and
ExternalStorage
The media files can be transferred to the Media directory.

Thank you Jim, that did the trick.

Personally, I find this utility really useful for locating devices on my network:

Extra handy because it gives clear advice of the MAC address.
