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 and manage your files, keep your address book and your tickets and passes on it, and share any of it with the people you choose.

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 of its own: the app talks to your pod directly, and nothing you store passes through us.

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
* Download resources and open them with any compatible app
* 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 accept or decline requests on your own
* Works across Solid servers, using Web Access Control with an Access Control Policy fallback

WALLET

* Event tickets, boarding passes, cinema tickets, loyalty cards and coupons, stored as ordinary Solid resources you own
* Apple Wallet .pkpass import, read in full, with the original file kept on your pod beside the ticket
* Barcodes re-rendered in the symbology the issuer used, so gate scanners read the identical code, with a screen-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, in an encrypted database, 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

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.

Is Solid Share free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Solid Share require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Solid Share safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Erfan Gholami. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Solid Share?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.

1. Tap the Download APK button above and save the file to your device.
2. Open your device Settings → Security (or Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps) and allow your file manager or browser to install unknown apps for this one file only.
3. Open the downloaded com.erfangholami.solidshare.apk file from your Downloads folder.
4. Tap Install and wait for Android to finish.
5. Open «Solid Share» by Erfan Gholami and grant only the permissions it actually needs.
6. Revoke the "unknown sources" permission once you are done installing.
