What is WiFiCopy? 📱➡️💻

WiFiCopy a privacy-focused Android app that lets you transfer files from your phone to network servers over WiFi. Think of it as a bridge between your Android device and your home computers, NAS devices, or servers.

🎯 The Problem WiFiCopy Solves

Before WiFiCopy:

😓 Manually copying photos/videos to your computer via USB cable
📧 Emailing files to yourself to access them on another device
☁️ Uploading to cloud services and downloading again (wasting data and time)
🔌 Constantly plugging and unplugging cables
💾 Running out of phone storage with no easy backup solution

With WiFiCopy:

✅ Wireless file transfers over your local WiFi network
✅ Direct connection to your servers (no cloud middleman)
✅ Scheduled automatic backups while you sleep
✅ Fast transfers without using mobile data
✅ No cables, no cloud storage limits, no subscriptions

🚀 What Can You Do With WiFiCopy?

1. Manual File Transfers

Copy photos, videos, documents, or any files from your Android device to:

MacOS & Windows computers (via SMB/Windows shares)
NAS devices (Synology, QNAP, etc.)
Linux servers (via SFTP/SSH)
FTP servers (web hosting, legacy systems)

2. Scheduled Automatic Backups

Set up recurring backups that run automatically:

Daily photo backups to your home NAS
Weekly document backups to your computer
Monthly full device backups to your server
Trigger backups when you connect to home WiFi

3. Folder Monitoring

Select a folder once, and WiFiCopy automatically includes new files:

Camera folder → Backs up new photos automatically
Downloads folder → Archives new downloads
Documents folder → Keeps your work files synced
