About this app

HTTP File Server is a simple tool that allows you to access your phone's files from a desktop, tablet or other devices without any special software - just a web browser. Alternatively it also acts as a WebDAV server and can be accessed by any WebDAV client.

Features:
- File manager-like web UI that can adapt to smaller screens
- Download individual files or a ZIP archive
- Upload multiple files in a queue, create directories
- WebDAV server, supports any WebDAV client
- Mount as a network drive in Windows (see instructions on my website)
- Option to serve static HTML files
- HTTPS encryption with self-signed certificate
(can also import your own custom certificate if needed)
- Supports sharing files from other applications
- Option to restrict deleting/overwriting
- Supports basic authentication
- Tiny size (<5MB)
- Only basic permissions required

Extra PRO features:
- Run in background
- Drag & drop to upload and move
- Image previews
- Image gallery
- More display options (list, large previews)

More features to come. You can send suggestions to [e-mail]

Warning: Do not use this server on open networks or networks where you do not know who may be connected. It's should be safest to use your phone's hotspot protected with at least WPA2. Also consider turning on some of the security measures in the settings.

Ratings and reviews

Crashes, authentication does not work I paid for the PRO version, but have not been happy with it's reliability. Enabling https and authentication allows files to be browsed but download fails. 'Confirm each connection' also does nothing, leaving the client waiting forever. Also, it crashed during 500MB download from the device. Works for unsecure download of small files, but I'm uninstalling this app.

I was able to use the web interface to upload, download, and (after ticking the right box) remove files without trouble. I was also able to mount read only on MacOS. However, I was not able to mount read/write, I presume due to a lack for LOCK support. If the app supported LOCK I'd be all in; as it is, it's mostly useless for my purposes.

Great support which provided a fix for issues related to changes in Android 15. It allows me to seamlessly access local files via URLs. Thank you.
