Create a Samba/FTP server using Android

<p>I have been wanting to use a sync service to access my Files across all my devices, however I didn&rsquo;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&rsquo;t mount and other times there were limitations, speed limit, space limit, etc.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><a href="https://princecanute.medium.com/create-a-samba-ftp-server-using-android-39397e725baf"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
