I have been wanting to use a sync service to access my Files across all my devices, however I didn’t wanted to pay ! But its not just about accessing them, I want to mount them too on Linux, Android and Windows, for things like Obsidian. I tried free cloud services, but sometimes I couldn’t mount and other times there were limitations, speed limit, space limit, etc.
At last I decided to start a FTP server on my WiFi, but I needed to host it on a device that must always be running, most of us would choose a raspberry or dedicated laptop for it, but this poor lazy being decided to host FTP on his android device.
Note : You will need ROOT access on your android device for FTP and Samba, if you want to do without root, then you can ! I might make a tutorial for that too soon.
