Feature request: Multiple files selection

[smilearric]

Hello,

I love the idea but the app seems useless to me if I cannot save thousands of photos from my mobile to another device.

Currently for a few KB and a sober UI, Mass Transfer can do it:

Mass Transfer (transfer files between Android devices) - https://f-droid.org/app/me.hexian000.masstransfer can send multiple files to another android device.

That would be fantastic you could do the same between other platforms too with Sharik.

Best regards

A.R.

Thank you, will take this into consideration.

By the way, as a temporary solution, you can compress all those files into zip or 7z archive using basically any file manager.

Thanks for considering this!

We've all been in this situation where there's no room left on the device and making an archive is not an option because one needs twice as time to compress and send and twice as diskspace to temporarily store the archive. That's mine unfortunately.

I like to test Open Source apps to find simple but great ones.

Mass Transfer needs some GUI improvments but I can deal with it as is. However it does not support other platforms which could make Sharik a must-have (with multiple files selection).

Since Mass Transfer is OS you could retrieve the implementation behind it... but I have no idea at all how challenging dealing with multiple files transfer on other platforms would be...

Best wishes for your devs, keep up the good work, this app looks very promising!

It's impossible to properly send multiple files via single HTTP response (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2339440/download-multiple-files-with-a-single-action/9425731)

So I see two ways of doing it:

• creating an archive (for tools like wget)
• creating html page for viewing all files and for downloading all of them at once (for browsers)

At the end of the day I want both methods present in sharik. This is going to take a lot of changes, so don't expect this feature to be working soon.

But someday we'll totally get there.

Btw, if there is someone out there who likes sharik and is familiar with HTML/CSS/JS stack, please email me :)

I think https://github.com/trebleshot/android/search?q=webshare&type=
might help and it is implemented as you have thought of.
I have been using @trebleshot for a long time and found Sharik link from its group discussion.

Wow, that is a really cool app! Thanks for sharing!

I am looking forward to adding more features to Sharik actually, it is just that I do not have much free time lately. Please be patient :)

[marchellodev]

Finally lol :) Looking forward to v3.1!
