Not that I'm aware of. Using apps such as ES File Explorer, you can FTP 
files to and fro between your Android and the file share. But if, for 
example, you want the Gallery app to automatically find all the 
photographs in your file share, I don't think that can be done.

BICBW - and would be interested to hear from anyone who knows otherwise.
