Solid Share

Solid Share brings the Solid ecosystem to everyday Android users. Sign in with your Solid pod and use it as a personal data wallet: browse your files, keep your address book and your passes on it, share any of it with the people you choose, and let other Solid apps reach it on terms you set.

Solid is an open web standard for personal data stores, called pods. Your pod is yours — pick a provider or run your own. Solid Share has no server: the app talks to your pod directly, and nothing you store passes through us.

HOME

* What changed while you were away: unread notifications, access requests, and the files you opened or that changed
* Your next pass, what you shared, and what has been shared with you, on one screen
* It tells you when you are offline, and how many changes are waiting to upload

FILES

* Browse containers and resources in list or grid, sorted by name, type or date
* Upload from device storage, or capture a photo or video and upload it straight away
* Images, PDFs and text open inside the app; anything else opens with the app of your choice
* Share any file from any app straight into your pod, one at a time or many at once
* Duplicate a file or folder as a private copy, reset to owner-only access

SHARING

* Grant a specific Solid user, by WebID, or anyone with the link, access to any file or folder
* View, Add and Edit access levels instead of raw Read, Append and Write
* Every share produces a QR code and a link that opens straight back into the app
* Two pod-backed lists: what you have shared, and what has been shared with you
* Widen, narrow or revoke a share at any time; the recipient is told when their access changes
* Ask an owner for access when a resource denies you, and answer requests yourself
* Works across Solid servers, using Web Access Control with an Access Control Policy fallback

APPS ON YOUR PHONE

* Other Solid apps reach your pod through Solid Share, so no other app holds your credentials
* You decide what each app may do — View, Add, Edit or Full access — and where: your whole pod, folders you choose, or just your contacts
* An Apps tab lists every app that has access, and narrows or removes it whenever you like
* Grants stay on your device and are never written to your pod

WALLET

* Event tickets, boarding passes, cinema tickets, loyalty cards and coupons, as ordinary Solid resources you own
* Apple Wallet .pkpass import, read in full, with the original file kept beside the ticket
* Barcodes re-rendered in the issuer's own symbology, so gate scanners read the identical code, with a brightness boost when you open one
* Passes carrying an issuer web service keep themselves current
* An open ticket-QR format, so any issuer can offer one-tap add-to-pod with no integration

CONTACTS

* Your address book on your pod, in the standard vCard vocabulary, round-tripped in full
* Two-way sync with the phone's Contacts app, one Android account per pod
* Import from the phone's own accounts or from a .vcf file, and export everything back out
* Near-duplicates are suggested for review and merged only when you say so, never silently

OFFLINE

* Everything you have seen is on the device, encrypted, and opens with no connection
* Every write queues and drains by itself when the connection comes back
* Pin a file to keep its content available offline

ACCOUNTS

* Log into several pods at once and switch between them
* Inrupt, Solid Community, Data Pod, or any custom OIDC issuer URL
* An expired session is a state, not a logout — reconnect in one tap, keeping your data in place

LANGUAGES

* English, German, Spanish, French and Italian
* The app follows your phone language, and you can pick a different one for Solid Share alone

Solid Share is free software under the MIT licence. It ships in two builds: the F-Droid build links no proprietary dependency at all, and the Google Play build adds crash reporting.
