SimpleHttpServer is a lightweight file-sharing app that serves folders on your Android device over HTTP to other devices on the same network. No cloud no account — just open the displayed URL in a browser on your PC tablet or another phone to browse files.

■ Features

• Multiple shared folders
Add any folder via the system file picker (Storage Access Framework). Each folder appears as a top-level directory. No special storage permissions required.

• Network interface selection
Choose between Wi-Fi only all networks or localhost only — so you control where the server is exposed.

• Digest Authentication
Protect access with a username and password. Credentials are never sent in plaintext.

• index.html support
Automatically serve index.html when a directory is accessed. Useful for lightweight web hosting.

• mDNS / Bonjour
Optionally advertise the server so apps like VLC and Finder can discover it automatically.

• MediaStore browsing
Optionally expose Android-managed images audio and video through a separate path.

• Auto-start on boot
Start the server automatically when the device powers on.

• QR code sharing
Share the URL with other devices instantly via QR code.

• Access log
Watch incoming requests in real time.

■ Typical use cases

• Quick file transfer between PC and phone
• Sharing photos and videos with family tablets
• Running a simple web server during local development
• Streaming media to VLC

■ Privacy

All traffic stays within your local network. No data is sent to external servers and no usage is tracked.

■ Requirements

Android 8.0 (API 26) or later
