[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Thanks so much for this app. Have you any idea if the issues many of us have found processing large files has been identified and fixed in the new release?
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
Sorry but "large file support" is not available in SambaDroid yet.

If you only need to "transfer" files, you could have a look at my ftp app FTPDroid where large file support is available :good:

[Android Apps and Games] acraigl:
Thanks for continuing to support this app... couldn't live without it.

Quick question on the dedicated ethernet setting... prior I added 2 bindings (wlan0 and eth0) and it seemed to play nicely most of the time. I mainly do use this with an ethernet connection. Do you recommend just setting it to ethernet or will it work the same given my current settings?
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
If you manually set the "bind interfaces" option that will have more priority so it should be fine (let me know if it doesn't work).
[Android Apps and Games] acraigl:
OK, that's how I have it, actually, and it's working well. Thanks.

Status stuck on starting

I have just purchased the Sambadroid pro version. Everything works except the status is stuck on starting, causing "Sambadroid isn't responding" messages. I am running Android 4.4.2 on a TV box using an eth0 bind. I can access all my drives. Any way to get to status to change to started?

Thanks, so the app is working without problems? You can add users/shares and the only issue is the "status" right?

Can you post (or pm me) you logcat plz?
[Android Apps and Games] sd26:
The samba networking side of sambadroid works great. The app itself is extremely slow or not responding because it is stuck in the starting state.I have to force stop sambadroid to make changes and cannot autostart because I cannot make changes or stop it once started (have to force stop). Log cat attached.

Thanks

hi it works very well in Wifi o wifi hotspot in SG S5 (rooted), but no can run in usb thethering mode, any plans to implement work in this mode? on only wify and internet

[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
Can you post the netcfg output of your device once usb thethering is active? Probably you can set manually the bind interface :good:

Kinguser su causing sambadroid to slow down

suggestions

Thank you for the useful app! :good: Here are my experience and suggestions.

I have to switch to another sharing app every time I need to write files larger than about 500Mb. Even in the 2.0.1 Pro version...

I use SambaDroid in both Wifi and Wifi tethering modes, and here is some inconvenience because of conflicting options:

"require WiFi" is enabled -> the service will not start when in tethering mode

"require WiFi" is disabled -> WiFi autostart doesnt work

In my opinion, WiFi tethering may be considered as a kind of WiFi and be allowed to autostart the same as WiFi. :cowboy:

While in tethering, public IP address is displayed instead of tethering IP.

"Enable screen lock" option:

Is it possible to keep screen on and not prevent it to be locked, simultaneously (for security reason)?

Please add an option to set screen background to pure black, because it saves battery on OLED displays.
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
Thanks for the feedbacks, some changes are already in my TODO but largefile support is unsolved yet since the NDK doesn't officially support it: I found some workarounds in my ftp app FTPDroid but not yet in SambaDroid :(
[Android Apps and Games] 1727876:
suggestions

Am not a mobile app developer and may be wrong, but may be it's possible to see how this functionality is realised in the "Samba Filesharing" analog for years, there should be a way anyway... :)

Keeping fingers crossed for your TODO!
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
"Samba Filesharing" uses probably a different toolchain to build the executables while in my apps (SambaDroid, FTPDroid, SSHDroid) I use the "plain" NDK that, by now, hasn't a good support for "large file" as you can see here.

I managed to make an "hack" to support large files in FTPDroid but it didn't work for SambaDroid sry...
[Android Apps and Games] untroll:
I found a solution!

The problem is related to the shared folder "/storage/emulated/0" which doesn't exists through samba (don't ask me why!).

Unfortunately, we cannot change this shared folder path in "Samba FileSharing" but if you download the application "Sambadroid" you will be able to change it to "/storage/sdcard0" and it will work!

I hope this will help you guys!
[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:
I am using sambadroid and all is good however i have a 4.0GB file that shows up as 2,350KB on the share?

I assume its the size although right next to it it shows a 3.7GB file just fine.

Ideas why this is happening and Ideas for a fix?

*EDIT*

Looks like i found the answer to my issues.... it is what i assumed.... What is the root cause of this?

SambaDroid

Hello, first, thanks for great app :) I have used it on android media player under android 4.2 for few days, and it worked excellent. Now i have flashed media player with android kitkat image and i can not see samba server device from my windows 7 pc. Samba server is visible from android phone. Just windows is making me problems.Setup is same like before, same pc, same static ip on android server. Only i have changed android version. What could be the issue here? Thanks in advance!

Edit:

SOLVED!

If anyone else has same problem. This is login issue from windows. You can not see server from network in windows 7, but you can do this:

Open RUN, then type: \\localip of samba server. Then you can enter username and password of your server
[Android Apps and Games] EgOrus:
Thansk for the app, it's the most stable samba app from all that I tried, But I need large file support for my android box (mini server). Is there any chance to solve this problem in near future?
[Android Apps and Games] Nedle:
Also wondering if there is any chance to solve the large file problem. Running this on my FireTV which I use as a download centre so most of my video files are > 3 GB and show up with the incorrect sizes..

Big files transfer bugs?

For author of this very useful utility:

Please any chance to resolve "big files" transfer bugs? Over WiFi is not possible copy bigger files than c. 500 MB - 1 GB and more, again and again write errors. A few problems with smaller files, no problems with files up c. 300-500 MB.

Tested devices (I bought latest official SambaDroid Pro), shared SD cards, problems in both cases (:

Samsung Galaxy S4, Android 4.4.2 (TouchWiz firmware with root), exFAT SD card SanDisk 64 GB Extreme Pro

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 rooted, Android 4.4.2, exFAT 64 GB card ADATA

Any ideas why?

[Android Apps and Games] hindibuff:
Great app!! Tried others, this one works flawlessly connecting to win 8. Would love to see the large file size issue resolved (other apps dont seem to have that, but they have a lot of other problems). Would gladly buy the pro version once this is resolved.

Keep up the good work and let me know if you need any help testing.
[Android Apps and Games] Roy360:
Thanks! Works great on my BananaPI and 3TB exHDD.

My only concern is the speed. When transferring a 100/10 Wired Connection (on both side), I cap out at 2MB/s.

The app says, the PRO will run faster. So is 2MB/s the cap for the free version?

In Lubuntu, I know other users have gotten as high as 20MB/s on Gigabit. I was hoping for at-least 10.
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
Yes the speed is limited in the free version :good:
[Android Apps and Games] acraigl:
Hi,

I have the pro version and 2.01 never failed me. The update however is crashing when starting the server. I have sent in a report on it. Even a clean install of the app crashes.

I have since reverted back to 2.01. Let me know if I can help test anything.

Running on a rooted Asus Transformer TF700T, running Crombi-kk (CM KitKat Rom). If you need more info, just shout.

Thanks!

Just downloaded... working fine. Thanks for the quick fix :)
[Android Apps and Games] Pamela3:
I had the same issue, so thanks for the quick fix. The trouble I'm having now is that it won't bind on ethernet - only on Wifi.

For ethernet, it tells me the port is already in use:

"smbd_open_once_socket: open_socket_in: Address is already in use

bind failed on port 139 socket_addr = 192.168.0.3"

It says something similar for port 445.

Is anyone else able to bind to ethernet?

I tried by specifying eth0 manually to bind to but I get the same result.

Any help is appreciated!

***EDIT***

Problem solved. I set a manual IP on the ethernet and it started up fine. I then went back to DHCP and it got a new address and started up fine, so it may have been a random unrelated issue. I'll be back if it crops up again.

Thanks for an awesome app bezerker!
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
Did you upgrade to the new version while the app was running? That could be the problem...In that case just reboot your device and the problem should be solved :good:.
[Android Apps and Games] GoJo ^^:
Hello, i got a new phone with android 4.4.2 and i can't access external sdcard from samba share (with this app or others).

Maybe (probably..) this is a known issue? But maybe (hopefully..) there is a fix? Or i dunno.. MTP is so annoying!!
[Android Apps and Games] acraigl:
This app requires root. Are you rooted?
[Android Apps and Games] GoJo ^^:
Of course i am! Nothing would work if i wasn't i guess. Here it's just external sd. I can even access the root of the phone "/".
[Android Apps and Games] GoJo ^^:
Still couldn't find the reason of this; on some phone it works, on some not..!
[Android Apps and Games] acraigl:
Not sure what happened, but I rebooted my TF700 tab and Sambadroid is complaining it does not have root. Titanium Backup and Root Checker say I do .

It worked after the update on 10/13, but not after a reboot? Any suggestions?

Edit: A shutdown/restart fixed it.

I bought the pro version before but now it is not available in the Play store. How do I get my pro version back?
[Android Apps and Games] acraigl:
When you launch the app, it will connect to the play store and upgrade to pro automatically. There is not nothing more to download.
[Android Apps and Games] damole:
Thanks. I actually just started the app less than an hour before I got the notification of this reply and noticed that it now was showing as Pro. the first time I started it yesterday it was definitely telling me that adding another share wasn't a basic feature. I guess it takes a little time to update.
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
You should ask to Google why it's ignoring your question :)

If you are rooted, a simple option is to flash a custom kernel that allows ext SD read/write :good:.

[Android Apps and Games] BlindWanderer:
Great App

Great App, use it all the time. I even went pro.

What would make it better would be if it had the ability to generate random users names and password pairs.

The reason for this is simple: I use SambaDroid so I can access files on my phone while in a computer lab. I don't trust the lab computers not to save my authentication information. So at startup having an account with a random username and password that is displayed on the screen would be handy. This way even if the credentials are stolen, it won't make a difference in the long run.

I found a potential bug with emulated SD card storage.

I used the Pro app on a NookHD+, and for the default share, it used /storage/emulated/0 for the internal eMMC memory. However, on Windows, I couldn't access the share at all. When I changed the mount to /storage/sdcard0, it worked perfectly.

Going to update to pro version so i can have several shares running concurrently.

Is it possible to auto start SambaDriod at boot of android TV box and the auto start the server so when unit is switched on HDDs (storage) can bee seen on home network.

Thanks again

[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Andy, on the version I have installed there is an option to run the app on boot. I have both this and the option to autostart the service enabled on my Minix Neo X5 to do just what you are seeking.

Just a headsup:

Lollipop 5.0.1. and SuperSU Pro 2.42 (newest):

With 2.1.1. i have sometimes problems to get root. Sambadroid says it hasn't gotten root access. Restarting the app works and Sambadroid gets root.

Biggest problem so far: My windows 8.1 does not save share password. I dont know what to do. Every restart, the password is gone again.

It worked with my Nexus 5 without Lollipop.

This doesn't work either:

And adding it manually neither. Is this a linux samba issue? Anyone knows how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
The user is not correct, it should be Sambadroid only.

Hello. I own the Pro Version and have Problems to copying large files (1,7GB) to my tablet. I get always a Network error.
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
If you look through the postings here, large files have always been a problem with this app. I still like it better than most of the others. What I do in those rare cases when I need to transfer a large file is to use something like Xplore's LAN mode as a client with my other machine (Windows) acting as the server. Not ideal, I admit. But that works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] tomatende2001:
I use in this Scenario ES Filemanagers FTP, but this is not a solution.
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Yes, not a solution, only a work-around. Xplore (and I am sure other file manager apps) offer SMB client support. So way nicer/easier than ftp when working with Windows or Samba servers. If you expect large file support with this app, history seems to indicate that you will be disappointed. The post right above yours was on the same topic. And there have been many others. I am not sure what the issue is or why other SMB servers (Servers Ultimate, for one) seem to be able to handle large files. All I can say is that this is not a new issue and after all this time I wouldn't expect a fix anytime soon. I would love to be proved incorrect though. Still, I like this app. Cheers!

Hi,

I noticed the last change (v2.1.1) was for "preliminary Android 5 support", I've just upgraded to Android 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5.

The service will not start and the log shows "cannot update user 'root'".

I definitely have root access and I uninstalled the app, reinstalled and restored the data from Titanium backup.

Hey, quick question: Is it somehow possible to hide the notification icon on the top?

[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
My device has Android 4.1.2 and if you go into App Mgmt and select this app, you can uncheck Show Notifications. When the service is running, you don't see the notification but the app appears to work fine. I have read in several places that keeping a notification can help prevent Android from killing off an app when trying to reclaim RAM. So this may not be the greatest solution. But it does get you what you want, I think.

By the way, is there any limitation on the filesize??????

Samba droid pro and Lollipop?

Hi,

I just updated my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 to lollipop and re-rooted. The app is complaining it needs root to run, but all other apps (Tasker, Titanium Backup, etc) that are require root are fine.

Any suggestions to get this running again under lollipop?

UPDATE: I was able to get it to work by uninstalling/reinstalling, but after a subsequent reboot, it complained of no root privileges again.
