What's new v2.5.5
- Fixed: Folder sync no longer skips local files that were replaced with different content of the same size (issue #39). Sync state now tracks both sides; older local files never overwrite newer remote files.
- Fixed: Queued uploads no longer fail with "Permission Denial" when the app is restarted before the transfer starts (SAF permissions are now persisted).
- Thanks to @RubenSDev10 and @mattbasta for contributing these fixes!
About SambaLite
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.
