Quick answer

Share files on LAN from Android to any browser

Swap runs a local HTTP server on Android so devices on the same Wi-Fi can browse, upload, and download files directly in a browser. Features include search and sorting in the web UI, ZIP downloads, queued downloads, drag-and-drop uploads, Unicode filename support, and optional password protection for files.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
