Choose a folder and press “start” 2. Open the generated IP address in a browser on a device in the same WiFi network 3. Done, there is no third step! USE CASES - Quickly share files on your iPhone/iPad with other devices in the same WiFi network - Host a static website, useful for eg. software developers working on the go - Send files to devices that have limited connectivity features (eg. GPS navigation, gaming consoles etc) - Create a small media server for your household TIPS - The server works on and is visible to other devices only on the same WiFi network (ie. connected to the same router) - This is a static server which means can’t be used as eg. a PHP or NodeJS backend server - The Background Mode requires an audio track played while the app is not visible. Go to settings to pick from a number of pleasant nature sounds!
