Share via HTTP - File Transfer

Marcos Diez

About this app

The easiest way to share files from your Android to any device!

Just choose one or more files.

This app will open an HTTP server in which anyone can download the file.

You can also, from any Android app, click on "share" and "Share via HTTP".

The link will always be your phone's IP address on port 9999. Example: http://10.1.1.100:9999/

If you choose just one file, the link will transfer the file itself. If you choose many files, a ZIP containing all the chosen files will be generated on the fly. That means you will not have to wait nor space on you device will be used. If you share a contact, a vCard will be generated on the fly.

After sharing a file though any program, you can later click on "Share Containing Folder" to share the whole folder in which the file is located. (only for supported file URIs)

It is of course possible to have multiple users downloading at the same time!

If you have a Barcode Scanner, a QR CODE of the URL will be generated.

This app is open source. Grab the source and the APK at https://github.com/marcosdiez/shareviahttp

It is by the way possible to share APPs with this software if used together with AppSender ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genmy5han.appsender )

The amazing new UI was done by Stefan M.

Ratings and reviews

It gave a problem when I tried to send a .zip file from Samsung A24 to Samsung A24 Some of file was transmitted. It then stopped. Suddenly I had no files with default file explorer. Had to restart phone twice. Will not use again between these two phones. Ok, I sorted out my Files app by just clearing the cache. However, I still don't like that I a few times I received less than the entire .zip file. Your app does work on my Samsung A03. Will keep it there for now.

Wow - so easy to use! I use NordVPN on my smartphone & PC & use its new Meshnet feature which allows remote encrypted connections between your devices & your friends & collegues devices as though they're all on the same local area network. Once I've connected devices this way, I send files back and forth via this app - and being http and not secured https is no problem because all files transfered are via the above mentioned VPNs remote encrypted connection. Working in tandem!

It just simply simplify the sharing accross platform easily. Even without internet, you can use your hotspot without internet to share file. The only problem I was not able to solve was sharing file through internet to someone else on different network, 'but i think it can't do that'.

What's new

In some devices, some filesizes were wrong. We have a workaround for that.
Updated to work on newer version of Android
