Tutorial video coming soon!

Features:

  • Network Drive Management: Connect to multiple network drives and manage them all from one place.
  • File Explorer: Browse and access files quickly with an easy-to-navigate interface.
  • Fast File Transfer: Easily upload and download files between your Android device and network drives.

Why Choose Network Drive Explorer?

  • Simple Interface: Designed with a clean, minimalist layout for ease of use.
  • High-Speed File Transfer: We pinpointed the hassle of integrating unnecessary file transit security and file end to end encryption when we're on a trusted network(household Wi-Fi, Friend's Wi-Fi, etc.) unlike untrusted or public network(cafe, airport, public places, etc.).
  • Free Updates: Get the latest features and improvements with every update.

How To Use:

We'll call the device to take the data from as the 'source device'. And the device you want to receive the data in as the 'receiving device'. [⭐- Required; ➕- Optional; ⚠️- Known Problems]

⭐Setup (Only need to be done the first time app runs after installing):

  • To unlock the functionality of the app, press the ellipsis (three horizontal dots) in the top-left corner, then press "Settings".
  • Read the Disclaimer and Warning, then press the checkbox below it to confirm you understand the use-case of the app.
  • Now, press back button in the top left corner, then press the ellipsis again and press "Configure Details".
  • Write your device name (this will be used to identify if its the host or as we say 'source device').
  • Enter a port, remember that the port should be same on the 'source device' and 'receiving device' to ensure you are on the same subnet to allow file transfer and 'source device' discovery.

⭐To Send Files to a Device:

  • Open the app on the 'source device', and press the ellipsis (three horizontal dots) in the top-left corner, then press "Device Storage".
  • Now, find your files or whole folders, then hold them to see a menu and press "Map To Network" (this moves the file/folder(s) to shared location so do this carefully; Release v1.0.0 has no protection for this.).
  • Press the back button in the top left corner, and press Start Service button, thats all for the 'source device'. [Proceed to "To Receive Files from a Device" section]

⭐To Receive Files from a Device:

  • Open the app on the 'receiving device', tap the ellipsis (three horizontal dots) in the top-left corner, and press Search Hosts.
  • Now press the blue button saying "Auto Scan" then you can see the server's name in a box, hold the box and press "Get Access Point".
  • Press the back button in the top left corner, then press the ellipsis (three horizontal dots) in the top-left corner, then press "Device Storage".
  • In the top-right corner press the three horizontal bars, then again press the server's name in the menu that appeared.
  • Now, you're navigating the 'source device' shared files/folders.
  • Hold on any file (transferring whole folders isn't supported yet) and press "Download File" and then the files will be transferred top your phone in the "storage/emulated/0/.LFTUC-Shared/LFTUC-Received".

➕Preferred Apps (Optional):

  • Best advised to use 'Zarchiver' or any other file manager if you're comfortable.

⚠️"Device Storage" not showing files/folders in my device:

  • This issue occurs in some OEM devices (eg. IQOO Z9x5), still works on most of the devices like Vivo, Motorola, etc.
  • More Devices will be tested soon. If it works on your device, you could send the make and model or just OEM's name in the "Rate The App/ Feedback" for helping in the process.
