Internet Helper for Gadgetbridge vs Sharing
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Internet Helper for Gadgetbridge
This app provides an interface to Gadgetbridge for HTTP/FTP transfers and WiFi control. It functions mostly like a low-level proxy. Gadgetbridge is in control of what is requested and what is shared. It uses a "dangerous permission" for making sure the Gadgetbridge user makes an explicit decision to allow/disallow usage of this helper.
Sharing
Share files and apps using browser. you need the other device to be connected to the same network. Files sent from browser to the app can be found in Sharing/ folder in your internal storage. You will need to send this app to the other device in case you sent an app with split apk files. Make sure you use hotspot to get faster speeds transferring files. All thanks goes to Hamdy El-Menshawy for the UI design specially the web side App made by Ammar64
