About Samba Server APK
Table Of Contents
Description
A free and complete Samba Server for your Android (SMB, CIFS)! Access your Android with ease, just like an USB stick (thumb drive / flash drive)No root is needed!
Works on:
- Mac OS X: will show up on the finder automatically if on the same network
- Windows: only works if you have a rooted device since windows does not support non-standard SMB ports. Also, if you use Windows 7 you might need to find out how to enable it since the server only accepts guest logins and Windows 7 automatically uses the currently logged in user.
- Linux: only works if your device is rooted or you can specify the samba server port
Note. If you find a bug or have a problem please contact us by email since we cannot help you if you post it in the reviews.
**
In this version you can add one server (Samba Server or Dynamic DNS Updater) and three directories per server. If you want to be able to add unlimited items please buy Samba Server Pro. If you buy the pro version you will support development, will be able to add unlimited items and see no advertisements!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
1 ★No way to set the Home Group, I uninstalled it immediately as unusuable for anything at all. How hard can it be to make a decent SMB server app?
5 ★Incredibly simple to get my Android TV Stick (MK809B) stared with my mac - appeared straight away. Great work!
1 ★I don't care if people have been lucky enough to get this working. Why should it take root access to allow standard ports and why should it be made so difficult to set up successfully?!?!?
5 ★Linux support for the gs3 is meh, and uploading to my server gets errors. The reverse works great thanks to this!
1 ★So don't say it does and then say, "Oh but it won't work for windows without rooting your device... but that's windows fault..."
5 ★Even though app says not it works with linux without root the device. It works by default in ubuntu, if not you just have to type "smb://ip:port/" ex: smb://192.168.5.1:7777/ .. Thank you for the great app and I wish I could have user authentication too.
1 ★It's your app, and want me find out, how to use it: "if you use Windows 7 you might need to find out how to enable it" If you don't know it, then how should I? ha-ha-ha Uninstall.
3 ★No obvious facility to define username or password, and lack of standard port numbering is a real pain
1 ★Asks for username and password when connecting, but there is nowhere in the app to set username and password
2 ★As the title says, needs to be updated for current android versions and configurations.
4 ★I can access my share in Windows on some PCs via IP but it doesn't recognize the server name. Name, Session, Datagramm Ports seem not to work. pls fix
1 ★Doesn't work. The server shows in the Finder sidebar, but when I click it, it says Not Connected. The UI is also crappy. It doesn't clearly indicate whether the server is running, for example. And the app looks ugly, like something from 2009.
