REAL ANDROID CAPTURE / HOLODRIVE PHOTOS

01 / MADE FOR YOUR SERVER

Photos and files.
One familiar place.

Connect once, then move naturally between your photo library and the files stored across your configured Holodrive drives.

01 / PHOTOS

▧

Browse the gallery.

Choose a photo library folder on your server. Browse image albums by folder and open a full-screen viewer with swipe navigation and pinch zoom.

02 / FILES

▤

Explore your drives.

Use the separate Files view to browse configured drives and folders, search names in the current folder, and download files.

03 / UPLOADS

⬆

Share into your cloud.

Send files from other Android apps to Holodrive. Uploads queue in the background, resume interrupted chunks, and retry when the network returns.

Your server, your access.

Connect over HTTPS or your Tailscale network. The app uses device tokens for background uploads and includes no ads, analytics, or telemetry.
