I want to access the thousands of images on my computer from my Android phone, anywhere I am.
Mainly reaction images, etc. to be sent through WhatsApp, but also maybe some movies or songs, so streaming would be a huge plus. Also viewing/browsing the images directly, without explicitly downloading them would be a huge plus.
As far as I can tell, I need to use some kind of a media server for this.
I've tried most apps that come up on the Play Store through searches like "media server" etc.
Most people suggest Plex.
But Plex is WAY too aggressive in trying to "organize" and label my media, which for me is absolutely meaningless.
I know what and where my media is. I just want to basically view and access the files on my computer like I would access the filesystem on my phone. Even when I'm not on the same network(!).
Any suggestions?
I'm kind of baffled that I haven't found a good solution for this.
Maybe it's because I don't know shit about media servers, but I'd assume there's a solution for normies.. something that "just werks".
I've considered just making a website that I'd access through my computer's IP, where I'd list certain folders' contents, but that seems like a suboptimal solution compared to an app designed for this.
