Editions: which app has which way of exchange

FastMediaSorter for Android comes in several editions. Not every edition carries every way of exchange: an edition without a capability shows no button for it at all.

Which edition has what

Capability Standard noLegal Lite Photos Legacy VR XR FOSS
Network folders (SMB, SFTP, FTP) and the phone’s SFTP server yes yes no yes yes yes yes yes
Clouds (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) yes yes no yes yes yes yes no
Going live from this device yes yes no no yes no no no
Playing live broadcasts and internet streams yes yes no no yes yes yes no
Chromecast yes yes yes yes yes no yes no
Watch companion yes yes no no no no no no

This table is checked against the build of every edition, so it changes when an edition changes.

Choosing an edition for exchange

  • Every way of exchange on one phone - Standard, or noLegal for a copy installed outside the app stores.
  • An old phone or tablet on Android 6 or 7 - Legacy keeps network folders, clouds and broadcasting.
  • No closed-source parts - FOSS keeps network folders and the phone’s SFTP server, without clouds.
  • Lite works with the media on the device itself only.

The Windows programs are separate products and do not follow this table: Fast Media Sorter & Sharing for Windows comes as the full package and as the Server edition that keeps a PC’s folders available around the clock, see Windows servers, and STREAMS Player is a program of its own.
