1. Any ideas? I have tested lan drive from webrox and sambadroid and they both work as samba servers but have other issues.I don't often need to run a random type of server on an Android device, but when I DO need to, I am always like "this was not only built with pride, I'm 99% certain this app was built by someone who actually needed to run servers like these and not only robustly solved the problem for themselves but also shared it with the rest of us as well for a very reasonable price.Probably nice, but absolutely useless for non-rooted devices.
2. HTTP server does not have the options to set custom file (html or any other type of webpage file) as homepage of the server.I heard great things about this app, however, it does not work on my GTKing (Android 9 PIE) box.
3. SMB Server, which I assume is using protocol 2 or 3 does not appear to work with Windows.
4. Great job!SMB "Native" Server, which uses SMB1 & NetBIOS, works fine with Windows.
5. To fully utilize all the add-on packs you need both Google Play and the Amazon App Store installed on your device.
6. While looking in vain for documentation, I came across some small print: ¨This app will work for 7 days after which you will need to buy the paid version".
7. SMB: Windows fails to discover the server running on rooted device.
8. It is easier for me to root and create a server from scratch than to use this app.FTP: Disconnects when an app like camHI tries to create a directory on a rooted device.
9. Lan drive SMB Server running on the same device works fine.
10. The documentation suggests uninstalling a service pack, editing registry keys and altering security group policies on all of your Windows machines on your network.
11. I tried both native smb and and simple smb servers and while they run I see nothing on my windows PC over my gigabit ethernet network.
