Users & files

Roles, personal homes, Live browse, and on-device file operations.

Roles at a glance

  • Admin — full root over WebDAV; no automatic personal folder.
  • User — sandboxed to {root}/{username}.
  • Read-only — only on User role; blocks write methods.
  • Last admin — cannot delete or demote the only admin.
  • Promote to admin — warns that the home becomes the root and clients may need reconfiguration.

Passwords are stored as salted SHA-256 in EncryptedSharedPreferences.

Files on device

The Files tab is for local management of the shared tree:

  • Create files and folders (when a root is selected)
  • Rename, delete, copy, cut, paste
  • Live mode for near real-time updates
  • Auto-refresh when you return to the tab

Sort is fixed: folders first, then name A→Z.

Notifications

File actions and the running server can surface system notifications. You can hide the IP in the notification from Settings if the phone is shared.
