## Description

Share via HTTP - File Transfer is the simplest way to transfer files from your Android device to any computer, phone, or tablet on the same WiFi network. By launching a personal HTTP server, it offers a quick, free, and straightforward method for sharing files without the need for cables or cloud services.

Simply select one or multiple files, and the extension generates an accessible URL based on your phone's IP address and port 9999. Single files are shared directly, while multiple files are compressed into a ZIP archive on the fly without using extra device storage or wait time. It also supports sharing contacts as vCards and entire folders. Multiple users can download files simultaneously, and users without typing hassle can scan QR codes to access shared content. Open source with a sleek UI, Share via HTTP ensures seamless, hassle-free file sharing over your local network.

## Review summary

Users praise Share via HTTP for its simplicity, efficiency, and privacy-conscious design allowing easy local network file transfers without internet. It is especially helpful in environments with restricted USB access. Common drawbacks include the inability to transfer over different networks or upload files back, absence of features like file browsing, QR code integration, and a file size limitation around 1.8GB. Despite these, it remains a reliable solution for quick, local file sharing with minimal fuss.
