1.2.7 Safe to install
Seamless Wi-Fi File Transfers with Folder Server
Folder Server simplifies the process of transferring files over Wi-Fi, offering a user-friendly interface and reliable performance for all your sharing needs.
The application provides a straightforward solution for file access and transfer over WiFi. Users can begin by opening the app and selecting the desired folder for sharing. After initiating the process by pressing "start," the app activates an HTTP server and displays a convenient access link.
Accessing files is seamless, as users only require a standard web browser on any device connected to the same WiFi network. It's worth noting that the app can also function with WiFi Hotspot, though using a traditional WiFi router is advisable for enhanced speed.
This application sets up an HTTP server rather than an FTP server, ensuring that access is limited to the selected folder and its subdirectories.
For a comprehensive understanding of the app's functionality, users are encouraged to consult the in-app help feature.
Key Features:
- Download files
- Upload files
- Delete files
- Create new folders
- Remove empty folders
- Select links mode: download or navigate
- Download all contents as a zip file
- Choose from four themes (two light and two dark)
This application proves particularly valuable when needing to transfer files without a USB cable or when USB ports are occupied by other devices such as chargers or headphones.
Disclaimer:
The app utilizes plain HTTP, which is not encrypted. It is designed for personal use within private networks. Users should refrain from sharing or transferring sensitive information over public networks, as such content may be accessible by others on that network.
