Samba Filesharing (v. 111107m) Разработано funkyFresh |
Access your Android device over wifi as a Windows shared folder.
* Samba filesharing server for Android.
* Your Android device becomes visible to other Windows (& SMB compatible) computers on your network.
* The 'external' storage in your Android device is accessible as a network shared folder.
* Copy files and folders to and from your Android device using drag and drop.
* Customizable username, password, Windows workgroup name, and device network (NETBIOS) name.
Requirements:
* Your Android device must already be rooted.
* Superuser 2.3.6.2 or later installed (available on Market).
Notes:
* On the first run, make sure you catch the SuperUser Auth request to allow the Samba Filesharing app root access.
* If an update from an earlier version fails, try a full uninstall (either from the application manager of your Android device, or the file sharing app 'Menu -> Settings -> Uninstall' option), then re-install from Android Market.
* If you experience problems accessing your device, be sure to try all three methods: Network browser, specifying name, & also ipaddress.
* You may see 'com.funkyfresh.samba' remain in the Android process list even though you have disabled it from auto-starting. This is normal - whenever the WIFI interface transitions up/down the app needs to run temporarily to check its settings as to whether it should start/stop the filesharing server, after that, its done. Android will kill the inactive process if your device is running low on memory, otherwise the process remains inactive in memory for faster loading next time you launch it.
* Pérsio Menezes: Thanks for the new logo!

[2013-01-10] A Google User: Great App But . . . I love this app, but . . . I have 2 routers, 1 in the living room (main router and DHCP server) and 1 in my bedroom (access point). I have put both SSIDs of these 2 routers in my Whitelist. When I switch from 1 router to the other (my phone does it automatically) Samba will lose sharing connection saying "Enabled - Not Running". I have to go into the Main Menu of Samba and click "Enable". Status will then change to "Enabled - Running" and I will then able to see the phone SD card on my computers. Am I doing something wrong? I would give it 5 stars if I could fix my above problem. Great app just the same. PS I wrote the above over a week ago. Now Samba keeps disconnecting itself even when the phone has not moved. Have to manually enable it again. It will disconnect again after a while and I will have to manually able it again. Round and round. Deducted another star because of this. Not to mention that Samba will not run automatically even if I'm in a Whitelist Hotspot. Searched the web and have not been able to solve the problems. Going to uninstall it and try something else. |

[2013-01-10] A Google User: Nice! But needs work. All and all this app does the trick. But it has a quirk that needs to be worked out. It regularly becomes unresponsive enough to raise an Android ANR error, asking to close the app or wait. The developer should consider creating an asynchronous worker thread to fix this. |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Latest version crashes quite often The second best way to transfer files (rsync is the best) between tablets, phones, and linux clients. However rsync is cli this has a GUI so more people will prefer this. The link is quite fast 6 Mbit/sec. The app with es explorer gives full control on the client and the server. Security is good. Ui is noob proof. Fantastic operation. Thank you. Beats all the wireless transfer in speed, security and ease of use. The new version is different and crashes almost every time I use it. The older versions were much more stable |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Works. Just not on the S3 Couldnt get it to start on the samsung galaxy s3. It would enable then freeze. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Works perfectly, but freezes at startup Can a developer explain to me why it freezes for 10 seconds when i press enable? |
|
[2012-12-31] A Google User: Please put a button for Enable/Disable on screen. This is very useful app for me. But I don't understand that why enable/disable button is not placed on screen. There are too many space on screen. It would be more convenient if there is a toggle button for enable/disable the service. |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Constant Hanging Tried it at the recommendation of a friend. Constantly hangs while trying to enable on both my Galaxy S3 running CM10.1, and my Galaxy Note 10.1 running Android 4.1.1. Would love to see it working, but for now I can't recommend. |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: Works perfectly on my SGS 3 Always wanted something like this and just read comments from SGS 3 users that the app crashes, looks like dev fixed it in latest release, as it is working like a charm for me ! Good work dev ! |
|
[2012-12-27] A Google User: Not working on S3 Says enabled-not running and it sits there. Delete |
|
[2012-12-25] A Google User: Helpful app! Helpful app! After uploading media files(music, images), Android 4.0 gallery and music player can not find them. I don't know if this app issue or OS. Device is Sony Ericsson Arc S |
|
[2012-12-23] A Google User: Nexus 7 Does not work on my rooted nexus 7. |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Perfect Exactly what I was looking for! Would be great if I could share specific folders as opposed to the entire SD card, but only a minor inconvenience. Thanks! |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Awesome app Very useful. Thanks a lot |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: It doesn't work now with android 4.1.2 It used to work perfectly but not now. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: "Enabled - Not Running" This has never worked on Jelly Bean. Oh well. |
|
[2012-12-16] A Google User: Fix for Jelly Bean PLEASE Does not work on jelly bean. could you please fix. Thank you ! |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Update Bit bug but still amazing... |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: Not good on u.s. SGS 3 Does not disable when I want to stop sharing even tho it says it is disabled... still shares even when i close every instance of it down.. Had to uninstall for it to stop sharing. |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: FC Freezing phone |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: functional/dysfunctional worked when I used it with 2.3.3 on CM7. I upgraded to official non-leaked 2.3.4 and won't work (still rooted/s=off). Do I have to be running a custom ROM for it to work? IIRC the only requirement is a rooted phone and superuser. HTC Glacier (MT4G) |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: A+++ Does what it says |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: A bit buggy Works well enough to continue to use it, buggy on 4.1 but overall a great samba client! |
|
[2012-12-06] A Google User: XPERIA X10i v2.3.3 [Root] Brilliant. Using an Android box over Ethernet on a LAN which is transfering data to my X10i mobile on WiFi which is also running Samba Fileshare. Both these devices and their data are connected and visible via my Win7 notebook, where I'm just dragging and dropping files. Even opened an Android TrueCrypt file (EDS Lite) and viewed the content. All to easy... I think. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: Excellent This app does what it says it does, and a dang good job of it! |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Doesn't work on Nexus 7! I have a rooted Nexus 7, Android 4.2, with Superuser 3.1.+ installed. The app kept failing intialisation, telling me to get rooted access and superuser. Uninstall and on to the next i guess :( |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Not too good Crashing every time I switch off wifi. Takes a lot of time to Enable... in other cases works fine. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Lifesaver My laptop had issues with kies and for days I've been dealing with no end and I am literally out of ideas as to how do I transfer files to my droid and I came across samba, works great on my note2, and it's free for god sakes!!! |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Very Good for File Transfers Hands down the simplest way to transfer large (100MB+) files between my Android devices connected to the same Wifi network. 4 stars because interface is slightly confusing and there should be an indication of who are currently connecting. PS: Running well on my ICS-powered Galaxy W (GT-I8150) |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Samsung GTP5113 Works on my Samsung tab2 10.1 periodically crashes and can't set Second Shared Folder. (Currently vfat only) whatever that means. Regards |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Motorola Photon FAILURE I have root access, I have the most recent Superuser app and I approved the authentication request yet it still failed. Great app concept, doesn't work on this phone though |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: Nothing downloads... Not download |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: One star for problems with new Android versions If it worked it would be perfect! Used to run on 2.3, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with 4.x ICS and JB. Cheers |
|
[2012-11-24] A Google User: used to work now all it does is restart my phone. |
|
[2012-11-23] A Google User: Nexus 7 Doesn't work on my Google nexus 7 |
|
[2012-11-23] A Google User: Destroyed my phone Major slow down even after un install. Jelly bean 412 |
|
[2012-11-21] A Google User: Makes the whole phone unresponsive Makes the whole phone unresponsive when running. Works sometimes though. |
|
[2012-11-19] A Google User: Awesome! Great app. Very handy |
|
[2012-11-19] A Google User: it does not work on JB. the app does not work for me on JB 4.1. a lot of FC. and does not go "enabled". my wifi conection is fine. |
|
[2012-11-16] A Google User: Would be great if it didn't FC all the time Works great but every time I turn off Wi-Fi it force closes. It would be a 5 if not for that. Please fix. |
|
[2012-11-14] A Google User: Not working on cm10 Please update it to work on cm10, then you will have 5 stars. |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Bug Freezes phone when turning off wifi |
|
[2012-11-12] A Google User: Great app Great app! simple and effective! BUT, it's buggy on jellybean: it stops responding when enabling it, crashes and then u have to restart it... it ends up working, but this shouldn't happen |
|
[2012-11-12] A Google User: Great but sometimes freezes the phone |
|
[2012-11-11] A Google User: Great It's hard not to love this program. 1 Star removed since there are no instructions how to find out the workgroup your computer belongs to or how to find the phone from your network once it's connected. This is easy to use for nerds. I got it working in 2 minutes so I'm probably only half a nerd. |
|
[2012-11-11] A Google User: GS3 Works on my GS3. Samsung took away my ability to mount sd cards as usb drives. So this provides a good alternative. I backed up my 32 gb drive overnight. Now i can do my selective backup with syncbackse. So they will go a lot faster. |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Great, but one issue... It appears as though your enable and disable buttons are doing long operations on the main activity thread and not on a worker thread. The guide hangs for about 10 seconds typically. Otherwise very good app, thanks. |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Even for older phones! I find this little app useful almost every day. It runs flawlessly on my old LG Optimus One (P500). Just turn on WLan on the phone, and it starts by itself. Love the option to disable the auto-start too. So easy to transfer files to and from my phone. Pictures, music, videos, backups, you name it. I don't know what I'd do without it anymore. Good job funkyFresh! |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Amazing! Must have app for rooted phones! |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Root access needed |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: works perfectly on nexus7 and windows7 just installed this on my nexus7, specified username/password and my android device became visible in my network. running smoothROM 4.0 with stock kernel. |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Great app but... After a while of transferring large files my computer loses connection to the tablet. Rebooting the tablet usually fixes it but sometimes I have to reboot twice. Sometimes I have to do this before connecting initially as well . Other than that it's fantastic. |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: This app is a great app I was using this app on my Galaxy s2 i9100G it was working well on cynogenmod 9(ICS). after I updated into cynogemod 10(jelly beans). this app not working i can open it also can give super user privileges also it says enabled but not working. also getting a not responding error. looking forward to new updated for jellybeans i rely miss this app. thanks |
|
[2012-11-01] A Google User: Buggy major slowdowns and freezws on gnex... cant use |
|
[2012-11-01] A Google User: WORKS . |
|
[2012-10-31] A Google User: Does not work reliably on JB Abandon ware. Does not work on Jelly Bean. Loved this application (especially the first couple releases), but has not worked since my nexus upgraded to JB. Please fix |
|
[2012-10-31] A Google User: Gets the job done Why can't I choose my share folder? Let me pick exactly which folder(s) to share and 5 stars. Also it takes so long to enable/disable that I get the not responding dialog. |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Hanging Recently it's only "not responding". I sent developer a report. |
|
[2012-10-29] A Google User: pb with JB... good app, integration to Tasker, or activation on time conditions would be great! I used it a lot, but it doesn't work on Jelly Bean... Please update it. |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Really nice app ! I can mount the SD card over thye network from any computer whether Linux, Mac OSX (Mountain) Lion or Windows XP, 7 or 8. Only in ICS 4.0.3 on a Galaxy S2 it is somewhat unstable it hangs sometimes during startup. Strange enough under JB 4.1.2 on the Galaxy Note it works fine without the 111107m patch. |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: doesn't work on jellybean :( --- Best App Ever! Works perfect while tethering! Much faster and easier to use than any of those wifi-file explorer apps.. The phone was connected to one access point, and the laptop connected to another, the desktop connected to hard line. Couldn't access phone from desktop on hard line, but could access it from laptop on different wireless router (i.e. it didn't matter that they were on different routers). |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: good turned bad.... used this without any issues on my fm6, now have a galaxy note2 and really missed this app as i dint want to root it, eventually gave in and rooted the phone, installed this app, and it wont work! not a happy bunny. also doesnt work on wifes htc wildfire (non s), says it running, but when you try to access it form windows you get an error it cant connect. if it works on your phone then its great and very stable etc |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Work well Miui ics i9000 Very usefull |
|
[2012-10-15] A Google User: The app when you have to deal with samba on windows like systems. Stable so far and i gave some idaes on xda. mike2nl |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Crashes This app crashes when using Lama to enable and disable wifi for my home area. I have submitted 20 crash reports. Rated one star to get attention. Really a good app besides this. |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Good but could be better I love this application. Just wish it was more reliable. Often hangs and force closes on S3. Would gladly pay for this if it was more reliable. |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Working 100% On JellyBean! I was led to believe that this doesn't work anymore with Jelly Bean but i find it actually works better than when i had ICS! o.0 |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: Was great, now FC on Samsung Galaxy S3 This -was- a great app but I upgraded to a VZW Samsung Galaxy S3 and now it force closes a lot. It works sometimes. It worked fine on the Droid X and Droid 3 that I used to have but not anymore. Please fix it funkyFresh! |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: I9250 cm10 Please fix the app for 4.1.1 it says enabled but still not running. Worked great on 2.3.7 |
|
[2012-10-09] A Google User: Crashes Crashes very often on my Galaxy S3. Crashes when the phone is taken out from sleep and it crashes when WiFi is disabled. It also slows the phone to a crawl while it takes its time to crash. Uninstalled after a couple of weeks of hoping it would get fixed. The developer doesn't care about this app. Updated in January lol. |
|
[2012-10-08] A Google User: One step towards the future Doing what google should have done in first place. Taking use of smartphone Wifi technology like it should be. |
|
[2012-10-07] A Google User: Works great Great application with features I wouldnt have thought of. |
|
[2012-10-06] A Google User: Freezes Freezes up my Galaxytab 7plus when starting the filesharing. please fix |
|
[2012-10-06] A Google User: Why it asks for root (and slows phone) even on black list wifi? |
|
[2012-10-06] A Google User: Well done Does what it says, just what I needed |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: A must for people with a home network I have 3 android devices snd they all have this installed. The ability to sit at your pc and send file back and forth and between devices with just turning on the device is phenomenal. Free, no ads, does what it says, and no crashes makes this one of the best android apps. Try it, you will not regret it. I dont review apps but I love this one so much I had to give it 5 stars and give it my endorsement. |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Nicely done! Very useful app. I leave it running on my phone, and can even grab files from it on my tablet while tethering from it (phone has more storage). Nice to be able to move files around without data cables too. |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Great! Watching a 1080p movie I downloaded to my phone on my low gb tablet. No skipping! Few forceclose or wait boxes while setting up on slim bean galaxy nexus toroplus. Thanks for the app. Had a file manager with the capability for my PCs but needed a way to make a password and username for the phone. |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Not working on ICS It works fine when using WIFI but when trying to use data(3g/4g) the ip address is displayed hex followed by wlan0, which makes it impossible to connect to. Using data worked fine on gingerbread. Please fix it! |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Brilliant... ...but please make it work on Nexus 7. |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Solid and easy app May have problems with JB (tried to run on AOKP build 3 on galaxy s but with no luck, I continuously get request for root access; it worked on previous ROMs flawlessly - my favourite way to transfer files! ). |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Unfortunately, not working on Jelly Bean It has died on JB! Hopefully we can see a fix soon. |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Nexus 7 I'm not happy just as I have JB I have to pay for an update that should be free, I shall be using a different app! If I could give half a star I would. |
|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: Be careful with S3 After installing and setting it up, I noticed that my phone couldn't connect to wifi unless I turn it off and back on again (after screen shuts off). The app would force close every time I turned on Wifi. I'm still having the problem after uninstalling the app. I didn't start having these issues until immediately after installation and didn't install anything else at the time. |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: NICE!!!! My Galaxy Y doesn't have a wifi file sharing. This app resolve it. speed is better than bluetooth. |
|
[2012-09-28] A Google User: Connectivity probs Last time i used this apps it work perfect. After i update to ics this app no work at all. Please help... |
|
[2012-09-28] A Google User: Broken on Nexus 7 and SIII running Jellybean This app is fantastic, but it seems like it might be broken on Jellybean devices as it doesn't work on my Nexus 7 or my Galaxy S III now that it's running jellybean. |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: Not good on my S3 It slows down the phone and sometimes force closes. In addition, it only shows internal storage and not my SD card. How can I get this to recognize the SD card. It worked great on my old Droid X but not on my Galaxy S3. |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: Terribly slow Works, but is too slow to be of any practical use. |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Why need superadmin access? Cant get it working, and dont know why it needs another app in order to run. Uninstall for now. |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Awesome But I would love to have the option to disable the notification icon. |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Dead On JellyBean |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Functional yet completely uncomplicated The thing that strikes me is how simple and fuss-free this app is to use. Install, enable and that's about it. Your device is now available on your network. Many props to the devs, thank you!! GGG devs make a 6* app, don't even make a donate version. |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: FORCE CLOSE Most of the times it gives FC when I disable wi-fi |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Bug?? Not working o Cyanogenmod10 JB. Enabled but still not running. SGT. |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Incredibly easy to use. Very stable, fast and fuss free to set up. I found it to be much more reliable than windows' own file sharing. Thanks. |
|
[2012-09-19] A Google User: Does not work on Nexus 7 with Android 4.1.1 This app worked fine on my Gingerbread phone. When I flashed an ICS rom, it still worked but was slow to start. On my Android 4.1.1 tablet, it doesn't even start the service. |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: How cool is that. Running on a rooted HTC Sensation XE. |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: Superbfahad Love this app. |
|
[2012-09-14] A Google User: Lt18i Great |
|
[2012-09-13] A Google User: Doesnt work On my S3 it ANRs and FCs a lot, eventually it works, but the shares stop being reachable after a while until I restart the app. On my Nexus7 it doesnt work at all, just sits there "Enabled - not running" and no way to make it run. Mailing the dev got no response. |
