Transfer files from/to your phone using a web browser

Overview

Features & Capabilities

HTTP File Server (+WebDAV) is a versatile Chrome extension that lets you seamlessly access and manage your phone's files from any desktop, tablet, or device using only a web browser—no special software needed. It features a responsive, file-manager style web UI, supports downloading files individually or as ZIPs, and allows multiple file uploads with directory creation.

The extension also acts as a WebDAV server, enabling access through any WebDAV client or by mounting as a network drive in Windows. Security is key, with HTTPS encryption supporting self-signed or custom certificates and basic authentication. Additional PRO features include running in the background, drag & drop uploads, image previews, and an image gallery. Lightweight (<5MB) and requiring only basic permissions, it is perfect for secure, easy file sharing on trusted networks like your phone's hotspot. Ideal for users seeking a straightforward, privacy-conscious file transfer solution.

User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for fast, easy cross-device sharing via a web UI and solid transfer speeds, plus good support. However, common complaints include instability during large transfers, background operation limits, ZIP-related batch download drawbacks, upload constraints (no folder uploads) with broad directory access, and limited mobile network accessibility, which affect reliability and usability.
Pros
  • Easy cross-device sharing via a fast, responsive web UI
  • Fast transfer speeds and a feature-rich server experience
  • Good developer support and timely fixes for Android 15 changes
  • Versatile for local file access and sharing (e.g., with readers like Kobo)
Cons
  • Stability issues: frequent connection drops and need to re-login; interruptions during large transfers
  • Background usage problems: app often won\'t run in background unless battery saver is disabled; free version limitations
  • Batch download via ZIP is problematic: ZIP can delete files and users want non-zip batch downloads
  • Upload limitations and broad directory access: cannot upload folders, only single files; app may require access to all directories rather than a specific one
  • Limited mobile network accessibility: not easily usable over 4G/5G; wifi or hotspot is typically required

worked fine but apps only earn 5* from me if they're vastly superior somehow

works, but has to be constantly open in the foreground to continue the file transfer unless you buy some pro version
