# Share via HTTP (open-source file manager)

> Share via HTTP is a free, open-source file manager for Android. N.B The app doesn't make an entry in the app list: only the share menu. It has 199 GitHub stars and is released under the BSD-3-Clause license, and you can install it from F-Droid and Google Play.

N.B The app doesn't make an entry in the app list: only the share menu. Share files from your phone to one or many, quickly and easily. Just share the item via the Share Menu and a mini web server will be started allowing others to download the file. If there are multiple files a zip archive will be created on the fly. If is installed a QR code can be produced with the URL. It will only work if the recipient is on the same LAN if you use WiFI but should work anywhere if you use GSM (2G/3G), though more slowly. The server can be stopped at any time from the screen that shows the URL (press the back button if you're on the barcode).
