FROSTWIRE: HOW TO SHARE FILES ON WIFI WITH AN ANDROID PHONE OR TABLET
In this tutorial we are going to show you how to share files over a local Wi-Fi network
from your Android Phone or Tablet using FrostWire.
Files will be shared with any device running FrostWire, that means PCs, Macs, Kindle Fire
HD and Android phones or tablets connected to the same Wi-Fi hotspot. Wi-Fi sharing on
FrostWire is only meant for your local network, no files will be available to the general
public on the internet.
Make sure your device is connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, preferably with a strong signal.
Open FrostWire and make sure "Wi-Fi Sharing" is enabled.
To do this open the navigation menu and go to Preferences > Networking Preferences > "Wi-Fi
Sharing".
Now we're ready to share.
Go to the navigation menu and select "My Files". Here you can choose which files you would
like to make available on your local Wi-Fi network.
From the top menu, select which file type you would like to share. We will pick some
audio files…
You can either scroll down or filter your selection before sharing.
If you want to share just one file, just tap on the padlock icon to open it, an open padlock
means the file is available to users on the Wi-Fi network.
If you would like to share all the files, you can tap this checkbox and touch any of
the selected file names.
From the pop-up menu choose "Share selected files".
All the files you've selected are now being shared and are downloadable from any other
device running FrostWire and connected to the same Wi-Fi hotspot.
If you want to browse files shared by others go to the main menu and see what's available
by exploring the "Wi-Fi Sharing" section.
