FTA - File Transfer Anything

SEIZIA

About this app

FTA (File Transfer Anything) sends photos, files, text and URLs directly between your devices on the same local network. No cloud relay or FTA account is required.

• Choose photos from the system picker or take a new photo with the camera app.
• Choose files through Android’s Files picker.
• Send text and URLs from one message box.
• On the first transfer to an unregistered device, only the recipient approves registration. No content is sent before approval.
• Registered devices must be online and authenticated.
• View received files in the Files app. From a completed photo receipt, explicitly save selected original photo copies to Pictures/FTA in the gallery.
• Keep transfer results on your device and open files or links only when you choose.
• Use the connected-device foreground service for background transfers, with a clear stop action. Android and device battery restrictions still apply.

FTA must be running on both devices, on the same private IPv4 LAN. Compatible FTA peers include Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux. iOS peers must keep FTA in the foreground. Guest Wi-Fi isolation, firewalls or blocked multicast may prevent discovery. Internet transfers and an offline queue are not supported.

Android 10 or later and an ARM64 device are required. Local-network permission is required on Android 17 and later; notification display is optional. FTA does not request access to your entire photo library or all files. Gallery copies are separate from app-private originals and may be backed up by your photo provider according to your settings.
