SMB Server (Samba)

Need to share files between your Android device and any computer on your local network without cables or cloud uploads?

SMB Server (Samba) transforms your Android device into a fully functional network file server. This app implements the standard SMB/CIFS protocol, allowing you to access your phone's storage directly from Windows, macOS, or Linux computers as if it were a standard network drive. Manage documents, stream media, and transfer files seamlessly over your Wi-Fi network, eliminating the need for USB cables or intermediate cloud storage services. It provides a direct, high-speed bridge for data exchange within your personal or office network environment.

Core Functionality and Features

The app establishes a stable SMB server directly on your Android device. Once configured and running, your device appears as a network location in your computer's file explorer. You can define shared directories with specific access permissions, controlling exactly which folders are visible and whether they are read-only or allow write access from connected clients. The server supports multiple concurrent connections, enabling several computers to access files simultaneously. Authentication can be set with a username and password to secure your shared data from unauthorized network access.
