Folder Server - Local Storage & File Sharing

Folder Server is developed by Eldho Paulose. This app is provided as a free app on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and is intended for use as is.

Key Points:

• No internet required for file transfer
• Direct device-to-device transfer
• No cloud storage
• No data collection

Information Collection and Use

Folder Server is designed to transfer files and folders between devices locally without internet connectivity. To provide this service, we require certain permissions and may collect minimal device information:

Required Permissions:

• Storage Access: To read and write files for transfer between devices
• Wi-Fi Access: To create and connect to local networks for file transfer
• Hotspot/Tethering Access: To enable direct device-to-device connections
• Device Discovery: To find and connect to nearby devices

Device Information We Collect:

• Device name (for identifying devices during transfer)
• Device model and OS version (for compatibility purposes)
• Local network information (only during active transfers)

Folder Server does not:

• Collect or store any personal data on external servers
• Access cloud storage
• Require internet connectivity for core functionality
• Track user behavior or analytics
• Use cookies
• Collect user location data
• Store transferred files or file metadata

Data Security

All file transfers occur directly between devices over local Wi-Fi or hotspot connections. No data is transmitted through external servers or stored in the cloud. The security of your files depends on your local network security. We recommend using the app's built-in security features when sharing sensitive files.

Third-Party Services

Folder Server does not integrate with any third-party services or analytics providers. The only third-party involvement is through the app distribution platforms (Google Play Store and Apple App Store) for app installation.

Log Data

In case of app crashes or errors, Folder Server may collect basic diagnostic information including:

• Device model
• Operating system version
• App configuration
• Crash timestamp

This information is stored locally on your device and is not automatically transmitted to us.

Our Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary actions.
