"network drive like windows" presumably means mount a network drive
so that it is accessible to Gambas.

That should be easy e.g. in Ubuntu click

ssh, ftp, and many other types of connectivity which can
be set up as mounted network drives that Gambas can then
access to transfer files.

It should be able to access the Android host if the host
is running ssh (or ftp or anything else supported by nautilus). If the
real internet is connected, then it can access remote hosts
in the same way as it accesses local hosts.
Luckily no Gambas programs need to be ritually sacrificed on the alter
of change to make all this happen.
