Pocket Server: WiFi File Share

Pocket Server turns your Android phone or tablet into your own private file server. Start the server, then open its web address — or scan the QR code — in a browser on any laptop, phone, tablet, or smart TV on the same Wi-Fi. Browse, stream, download, and upload your files instantly. No internet, no cloud, no account, no sign-up. Everything stays on your device and your local network.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Share files and whole folders with any nearby device — just open a link in a browser
• Stream video, music, and photos directly, with no app to install on the other device
• Download a full folder as a single ZIP
• Upload files from a laptop or another phone straight onto your device
• Send one file with a short, chat-friendly share link
• Connect instantly by scanning a QR code
• Protect access with a password
• Control everything remotely from a full web admin panel
• Watch live activity: connected devices, transfers, and data used
• Choose exactly which folders are shared
• Enjoy a clean, modern design with light and dark themes

WHO IT'S FOR
• Anyone moving files between a phone and a computer without a cable or USB
• People who want to share photos and videos with friends and family in the same room
• Students and teams passing documents around on a shared Wi-Fi
• Travelers with no internet — it works fully over your phone's hotspot
• Media lovers streaming movies or music from their phone to a laptop or TV
• Privacy-minded users who don't want their files going through the cloud
• Anyone tired of email attachments, cloud uploads, cables, and sign-ups

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap Start.
2. On another device, open the address shown (e.g. http://192.168.0.10:8080) or scan the QR code.
3. Browse and transfer your files. That's it.

WORKS ANYWHERE — NO INTERNET NEEDED
On a home or office Wi-Fi, connect every device to the same network. No Wi-Fi around? Turn on your phone's hotspot and connect other devices to it — Pocket Server runs completely offline.

FREE VS PREMIUM
Free: full file serving with ads, one connected device at a time, a random port each start, and a 60-minute session.
Premium: remove all ads, connect unlimited devices, set your own fixed port, and run with no time limit. Available as a one-time Lifetime purchase, or a low-cost monthly/yearly subscription. Subscriptions renew until cancelled in Google Play; the Lifetime plan is a single payment.

YOUR PRIVACY COMES FIRST
Pocket Server has no account and no cloud. Your files never leave your device or reach us — they are served directly to the devices you choose, on your own network. You decide what's shared, and you can stop the server at any time.

PERMISSIONS — AND WHY THEY'RE NEEDED
• All files access (storage): to let you browse and share the files and folders you choose. Files stay on your device and you decide what's shared — this is the app's core function.
• Notifications: to show a status notification only while the server is running, so you can see it's active and stop it with one tap. Never used for marketing.
• Internet / local network: to serve your files to other devices on the same Wi-Fi. In the free version this also loads ads.
• Wi-Fi & network state: to show the server's address, detect your hotspot, and automatically stop the server when the network drops.
• Run foreground service: to keep the server running reliably while the app is in the background.

Whether you're moving a big video to your computer, handing photos to a friend, or streaming media to your TV, Pocket Server does it in seconds — no cables, no cloud, no accounts. Download it free and turn your phone into a file server today.
