Usb Share [Root]

ROOTED DEVICE IS MANDATORY!!
Share only selected files, music, folders or virtual usb , LUKS encrypted or unencrypted, disks via usb with PC/Radio car/Player ...Also mount virtual Un/encrypted images in your device.Usb Sharer uses UMS (Usb Mass Storage) protocol, skipping MTP/PTP.

Test Usb Sharer eval version before install it.

* Share only selected folders/directories.

* Share only desired files, preventing visibility of undesired files on your SD card.

* Share system files/directories.

To do that, select desired files/folders with your favorite application and use "Usb Sharer" to this job.

* Create virtual USB encrypted or unencrypted disks and share only files inside it, rejecting access to other files in your sdcard.Also you will encrypt all files and data if your disk is selected as encrypted. By default encryption is AES, and uses LUKS standard.

It is possible share virtual disk as RO (read only) mode (if your device implements such function).

* Save your favorite Ubuntu, Backtrack, or preferred rescue image and boot your PC from it. Instead having one different USB flash drive for each distribution.To do this, upload image to your device and select to share with Usb Sharer. Or save it in /sdcard/usbSharer/imgs/ directory.

* Mount disk images on your android device. Majority of kernels supports vfat/fat and ext2/ext3/ext4. But if you have custom kernel also could mount other file-systems like iso9660

Please update for Android 9+

Cannot get it to work for Note 3. It shares a Cddrive even if I set it as a virtual usb. $5 for a app that really does not do what its supposed to especially as it it $5 which should be kept up to date.

Used it in android 4.3, works for awhile. After upgraded to Android 4.4 and above, it stopped working. The developer no longer response. :(

Works, out-of-the-box. Is a life-saver. Fully worth the price. Thank you.

Trying to mount a movie folder, looks like the 4GB file limit deducts 4 stars - Sorry

A. G. u. Sep 29, 2014

Thanks for the update. The "share" partition button is now somewhat less accessible (being at the top of the screen in the title bar) and the "delete partition" button is now much more accessible (being at the bottom of the screen next to "mount"). I certainly use "share" more often than "delete". Maybe they should be swapped? I had hoped that this update would teach usbsharer not to run when I plug my phone in for charging, but it still pops up and disrupts whatever application I happen to be running. :-(

I love this app! Thats the way using my car stereo to play files from my smartphone!

A. G. u. Sep 18, 2014

When I first bought this I gave it 4 or 5 stars cuz it seemed so easy. But I have since discovered that my first success was random dumb luck. I switched from iphone over a year ago and while I love Android OS I also would like to share the secret of Apple's success: They cater to normal-dumb people who like things simple! You plug it in it works. A person using this app must have knowledge of "luns", "virtual images", "mounting", "autounsharing", "mass storage" and whatever. Make it for dummies like me.

Latest version fixes any niggles great app from a fantastic developer

A. G. u. May 29, 2014

Great app! Works perfectly with my car stereo!

A. G. u. Jan 23, 2014

All it took was unlocking then rooting the device then purchasing this and FINALLY I can play my music via. USB on my aftermarket car stereo, USB mass storage does the trick MTP boo. Lots of work for something so simple, glad this app is around and works though. There is nothing else like it. I have a Nexus 4.

A. G. u. Oct 27, 2013

Great application. But is it really necessary to request root permission every time application is started or every time charger is plugged? Isn't it possible to request root permission just for actions it is needed for? Five stars if fixed.

I tried for hours to get my Toyota satnav to play music from my SG3 via usb with no luck until I found this great app. Thanks for the hard work and fast responses to my questions.

No longer works on my Note2 running CM10.2. Worked perfectly before with CM10.1. Please do not use with Jellybean 4.3

There are very few apps which dramatically increase the utility of my phone, and this is one of them. Does exactly what it says it does, and does it well. The interface is also quite good. It may not win any beauty contests, but all the options are right where you need them and well labelled without being cluttered. Be warned, this app is for people who know what they are doing. It is an advanced tool that knows its place.

I am using this on a Galaxy Note running CM9 nightly. Just created a new USB share and am now downloading the latest 12.04 Ubuntu ISO to copy on the USB. The ability to share encrypted LUKS disks is pretty awesome as well. Well worth the price.

As a sysadmin, it's nice to be able to boot my ISOs from my phone. I can be a hero in an instant. Thanks!

A. G. u. Oct 22, 2011

Simple to use and powerful to control what can be accessed via usb sharing.

A. G. u. Sep 17, 2014

Ah, the typical you have to install an irrelevant and redundant extra app (smanager) for it to be useful at all. I wonder when will this developer realize that we dont want to install his useless file manager. considering we already have our own better preferred one. The lack of vision is strong among android developers.

Best money ever spent, it's the cure for car radios that go stupid scanning all folders on sd for media files, ending up playing GPS sounds or what not. Worked on my Sensation XE perfectly, it didn't when I got my Galaxy S3 tho, due to stupid MTP USB mode instead of simply using mass storage mode. So I mailed developer and got an reply less then 24 hours later with a updated app with a fix for my phone attached. Very useful app and godlike support from developer.
