APPROVED LOCATIONS

Share a location, not the whole computer.

Status: Preview

The Shared folders page defines which local roots another trusted device may browse. Each share can be enabled or disabled and assigned a device-specific access level.

Create a share

  1. Choose a folder

    Use the folder picker, drag a local folder onto the share area, or enter a valid local path.

  2. Enable the share

    Confirm that the intended root is listed as active.

  3. Assign each device

    Choose no access, read-only, or read/write for every trusted device shown on the share.

Google Drive’s connection entry, Nearby & background settings, and VLC plugin controls. Edited app-state walkthrough recorded in RFile 0.3.67; it does not show a completed pairing, signed-in account, shared-folder browsing, plugin removal, or live transfer.

Access boundaries

Browse permission on a trusted device does not expose arbitrary local paths. The requested path must remain inside an active approved root and pass the desktop's path and permission checks.

Read/write access permits only the remote operations that the current implementation supports and authorizes. Disable a share or remove the device permission when it is no longer needed.
