Comments on WebDAV Server for Android
★★★★★
Usefull to map an android 8.1 phone as a drive in Windows 10
★★★★★
Do not work with User Id and Password, only as anonymous. But I suppose the phones IP-address aren’t visible outside local router/WIFI network if on local wifi. Can’t change files on ext. SD card, only on built in user storage/”SD-card”. Suppose that are a phone security limitation. Can’t set ext. SD-Card as home dir. To see SD-Card one must set Root as home dir or set custom folder. On Galaxy A5 local phone user memory is in folder “sdcard” and ext. SD-card in folder “storage”. On a Galaxy A5/Window 10 home. Otherwise it works as expected.
★★☆☆☆
The basics work, but difficult to use, and selection of folders to share is not possible. When a folder other than the default is selected through the app, no files show up on the computer. Although it is possible to select the external SD card as the source folder, these files do not show up on the computer. Since this is what I needed, this app is useless to me, and I have uninstalled it.
★★☆☆☆
Being able to map my phone as a network drive allows sync programs on my PC
to work Update: it crashes when attempting to set custom home folder. This
means I can't put music on my SD card
★★☆☆☆
На Blackview BV8000 Pro (Android 7.0) без root приложение стабильно вылетает при нажатии в настройках пункта custom folder.

“WebDAV Server”
Description by The Olive Tree Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
With this application you can mount any directory on your phone, including memory card, as a drive on Windows or Linux. You can also use a WebDAV client to browse a phone directory.
This application has been tested using Windows8 Explorer (should also work with Windows7 but it will not work on WindowsXP) and WebDAV client bitkinex. You can download it from http://www.bitkinex.com/
Special thanks to: Beatriz Vera, Peter Ulrich, Gabor Fodor, Manuela Merino García and Anna Rainieri.

*SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK : Existing mode. Screen is on so energy consumption is higher. Use this mode if connections is dropped.
*WIFI_MODE_FULL : New mode. Screen is off so device will use less energy while server is running but data connection can be dropped. It is not recommended to use this mode.
*WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF: New mode only available on Android >= 3.1. Screen is off so energy consumption should be less than in the first mode. This mode is recommended to save energy but you might find problems so you might to select default lock mode.

1) On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and set option "USB debugging".
2) Connect your phone to your PC using USB cable.

adb is a program that you can find on android sdk. Usually you will find it on android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.
4) Forward needed ports from your PC to your phone. On your PC run command "adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080"
With this, any connection in your pc to 127.0.0.1:8080 will be forwarded to your phone in port 8080.
5) Run WebDAV server in your phone, open settings and in "Network interfaces" select "Loopback (127.0.0.1)"

Problems with big files:
If you have problems handling big files it might be due to a limitation in Windows webdav client. You can try the following to increase the size of files that Windows webdav client is able to manage:
1) You have to turn on BasicAuth via regedit to allow accessing the App's server by username and password.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
"BasicAuthLevel"=dword:00000002
2) You have to change Window's limit to file size when using the integrated WebDAV client.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
"FileAttributesLimitInBytes"=dword:000f4240
3) Restart windows.
This allows file sizes up to 4 Gigabytes handled by the client.
