Features & Capabilities

USB/IP Server is a powerful Chrome extension that allows you to share USB devices connected to your Android device with your PC over a USB/IP connection. Utilizing native Android USB host APIs, this tool requires no rooting of your device, ensuring a secure and seamless sharing experience. It supports a range of USB devices such as flight sticks and wireless receivers, primarily functioning well with Windows and Linux PCs running compatible USB/IP software.

The extension listens on TCP port 3240 and maintains wakelocks to keep connections stable during use. While some device types, especially those using isochronous transfers like video/audio capture devices, are not supported, USB/IP Server excels in enabling input devices and mass storage sharing on Windows. Users should note that certain USB devices do not appear due to Android’s device exposure limitations. This extension is ideal for tech-savvy users seeking to extend their Android USB device functionality directly to their desktops.

User Reviews

Review consensus is mixed. The app does provide basic USB/IP server capabilities on Android and has seen use in niche setups (remote Nikon cameras over LAN, USB joysticks for VR). It’s open-source and appealing to tinkerers. However, a recurring theme is neglect: development appears abandoned or outdated, with last updates years old and multiple warnings of abandonware. Reported reliability issues, lack of a PC client, manual startup/connection approvals, and compatibility problems with newer USB/IP versions further limit its practicality.

Pros

Provides basic USB/IP server functionality on Android.
Open-source/beta project appealing to tinkerers.
Has been used successfully in niche setups (e.g., remote Nikon D5500 over LAN).
Reportedly usable with peripherals in some setups (e.g., USB joystick for VR).

Cons

Abandoned/outdated development; last updates years ago; often described as abandonware.
Many users report it does not work or is unreliable.
No PC client provided or downloadable; limited or no documentation.
Requires manual startup and per-connection approval; not suitable for permanent connections.
Device compatibility issues with newer USB/IP versions and tested devices; some devices cannot connect or export properly (e.g., Linux can't connect despite listing).

Works for basic functionality, but it can only be started manually and requires that you approve each connection. This is not ideal for a permanent connection.
