Whether you are an IT professional, a developer, or a power user needing remote hardware access, this app acts as a robust bridge between your Android device and a remote client.

By utilizing USB-over-IP technology, this application allows a remote computer to connect to external devices plugged into your phone's USB port (known as the "server"), giving the remote machine full control and functionality as if the device were physically connected to it.

Key Features:

Seamless USB Redirection: Forward USB hardware over your Local Area Network (LAN) for high-quality, low-latency remote access.

Continuous Data Transfer: The app utilizes a dedicated foreground service to ensure your data stream remains active and stable, even if you switch apps or the screen turns off.

Plug-and-Play Detection: Automatically detects when a compatible USB device is attached to your Android phone, allowing for quick setup and connection.

Secure & Private: Designed by an official verified Organization Developer, this app processes your data locally. We do not collect, store, or transmit your files to third-party servers.

How it works:
Simply connect a compatible USB device to your Android phone using an OTG cable, launch USB Forwarding By RI, and start the server. You can then connect to your phone's IP address from your remote machine to access your hardware instantly. ## Rankings - #2,486,110 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.ri.usbipserver.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [USB/IP Server](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.cgutman.usbipserverforandroid) — 169,522 users, 3.80 / 5 - [Port Forwarder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appbolt.portforwarder) — 1 users - [Shareus - File Transfer&Share](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.shareus.shareus) — 3,517 users - [All In One File Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/all.filetransfer.utility) — 43 users - [Browse my Droid(WiFi explorer)](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.flaki.browsemydroid) — 9,057 users, 5.00 / 5 - [Share IP](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.shareip) — 412 users - [Remote File Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.premiersoftech.remotefiletransfer) — 31 users - [Remote File Transfer Lite](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.premiersoftech.remotefiletransferlite) — 2,913 users - [re-Link - Reverse Tethering](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.curiouscompany.relink) — 48,296 users, 3.62 / 5 - [PortFS - Port File Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pappuraj.portfilemanager) — 108 users - [Quick File Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/roid.spikesroid.quick_file_transfer) — 82,651 users, 4.29 / 5 - [Mobile File Transfer OS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jigaros.mobilefiletransferos) --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ri.usbipserver)
