Description

A Feature that I'd like to see in the future would be to have an SMB Host Function, similar to the already implemented FTP Server Function. That would make sharing files from the phone much easiear to most devices on the network and it would allow to preview files instead of having them to copy/move them to the new device first.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing FTP Server Function in the Android application and understand how it exposes files from the phone. Determine the scope needed for an SMB Host Function, including network file sharing and file preview access; done means the feature can share files with devices on the network without requiring an initial copy or move.
