Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about sharing files and streaming on your home network.
Does Folder Share need an internet connection?
No! Folder Share works completely over your local Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot. It continues working even if your internet connection goes down, and no data is ever sent to the cloud.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No account, email, or registration is required. You simply install the app and start sharing right away.
Can I play movies on my TV without a USB flash drive?
Yes! Install Folder Share on your Android TV or Google TV and share a folder from your computer or phone. You can browse your video library and play high-definition movies using your TV remote.
Can I use video players like VLC?
Yes. Folder Share supports open standards, so you can easily play videos through external players like VLC or Kodi if you prefer.
Can I access files or stream from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac?
Yes! While dedicated apps are available for Windows, Linux, and Android, any device with a modern web browser (like Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac) or media player (like VLC) can browse, download, or stream your shared folders instantly via your local IP address or WebDAV without installing any app.
How is this different from Plex, Jellyfin, or Windows SMB?
Zero setup! Unlike Plex or Jellyfin, there is no media server configuration, no database scanning, and no user registration required. Unlike Windows network file sharing (SMB), there are no frustrating permission errors, credential prompts, or firewall issues when connecting from phones or TVs.
Does Folder Share consume my home internet data limit?
Not a single byte. All traffic moves directly between your devices across your local Wi-Fi network (LAN). It works at maximum Wi-Fi speed and operates even if your internet connection is unplugged or offline.
Where can developers and technical users find source code?
Folder Share is 100% open source. Technical specifications, WebDAV endpoint guides, and source code are available on our GitHub repository.
