SambaLite のアプリ分析 4月26日

SambaLite is a lightweight, modern, and open-source Android client for SMB/CIFS shares (Samba). It is designed as a minimalist, reliable, and secure tool for accessing SMB shares on your local network – without ads, tracking, or unnecessary features. SambaLite is a file client, not a system-level filesystem. It focuses on accessing and transferring files, not on providing a mounted network drive. The app is intended for tech-savvy users who prefer a lean, transparent solution and value privacy and open source. Main features: • Manage connections: SMB server (hostname/IP), share/path, username, password, optional domain • Multiple connections with custom names • Connection testing with clear error messages • Secure credential storage (Android Keystore) • File browser with name, type, size, and modification date • Pull-to-refresh • Sorting (name, date, size) • File operations: download, upload, delete, rename • File properties • Dark/Light mode (system default) Compatibility: • Supports modern SMB2/SMB3 servers • SMB1 is not supported (deprecated and insecure) Security & Privacy: • No telemetry or third-party connections • No unencrypted storage of sensitive data • Credentials stored securely using the Android Keystore Permissions: SambaLite only requests the permissions required for its functionality: • Network access (SMB communication) • Access to user-selected storage locations (via Android system file picker) • Foreground service and notifications (for reliable background transfers and progress display) No data is collected or transmitted to third parties. SambaLite provides a modern, minimal, and privacy-friendly way to access SMB shares on Android – focused on reliability and transparency.
