Description

The VirtualHere USB Server will turn your Android Phone/Tablet/TV/PC/Shield/Embedded device into a USB Server.

It is written as a C native complied binary (not java) for increased performance. It will utilize multiple CPU cores if available.

NOW AUTOMATICALLY INTEGRATES WITH THE VALVE STEAM LINK APP!

In Trial mode, this app will support sharing one USB device seven times. If you want to continue to use the app and have advanced features like sharing more than 3+ devices from a single Android server, or running the client as a service, please purchase a license from https://www.virtualhere.com/android

Alternatively, if you purchase via the Play Store, the license is limited to sharing 3 usb devices at a time on an Android device.

(Just like any other App in the Play Store there is usually a refund time-period, check the Play Store terms and conditions)

Clients are available for Windows, Linux and OSX.

The VirtualHere USB Server removes the need for an actual USB cable and instead transmits USB signals over a wireless or wired network. The USB device appears as if it was directly attached to a client machine even though it is remotely plugged into your android device. All existing client drivers work as is, the client machine doesn't know the difference! Its like replacing the USB cable with a network connection (or alternatively giving a USB device an IP address)

For example:

1. Remotely control your digital camera by plugging it into your phone and controlling it remotely via a desktop
2. Turn any printer into a wireless printer
3. Use USB devices in virtual machines
4. Plug in your gaming controller and remotely play streaming games over the LAN or Internet
5. Use a USB-to-serial converter to remotely access serial devices
6. Use USB devices in the cloud. Plug in the device and it can be directly used from a cloud server with no special programming required!
7. Mount USB drives connected to your android device directly in windows/linux/osx

Your Android device needs to have USB host abilities (most larger or new devices have this). Also you may need to buy a Micro-USB OTG to Host adapter if you only have a Micro-USB plug.

The client software is available for download from https://www.virtualhere.com/usb_client_software

The first screenshot shows a USB webcam plugged into a remote Android Device and being used on a local Windows machine. i.e converting a normal webcam into an IP webcam. When sharing a webcam it is recommended your Android device connects via Ethernet for minimum network latency.

The next screenshot shows a Apple Mac machine accessing a FTDI serial device that is plugged into a remote android device. ie. serial over IP

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

5 ★I always had issues using this service. couldn't understand why. I followed the steps and nothing. then I purchased it for my account on my phone. lost it. replaced it and told the developer what had happened and gave a new key. awesome guy. thanks.
5 ★The best USB server, hands down, that works seamlessly with plug-and-play functionality. Unmatched performance, stable connection, zero latency—just buy it!
1 ★Limited to one device only. Can't transfer it. No support for Android client.
5 ★👍
5 ★Great.
1 ★App works fine but the license is terrible. If any wire gets tripped because of some weird bug, they don't care, you have to buy another license. Had to factory reset your phone? Too bad. Had to reinstall? Too bad. Upgraded your phone? Too bad.
1 ★Unclear pricing, and license limitations as other pointed.
3 ★License is bad, download an older version. Honestly the app is fine but for it to only allow you 7 times to connect to it before it blocks access behind a license is scummy. The license is too expensive and locked to one device, (no transfers from what I've read online). If you really want to use this app without the license download an older version i.e. 3.6.2 that's what I'm using now and it has unlimited connects at least for one device, I haven't tried to plug multiple things in.
4 ★I had a doubt do u have a client side for Android which I can use to access my usb printer that I have shared using a computer with the virtual here software?
5 ★You can use Bluetooth usb adapter connecting wireless gamepad as if it plug into your PC, and Bluetooth headphones as well but with reduced sound quality.
