ScreenOnPC supports file transfer between a server device and a viewer device. On the phone side, ScreenOnPC supports a built-in file selector and the system external file selector. Due to latest Android permission requirements, the built-in file selector is only available on some devices. Furthermore, when the external file selector is used, some phones do not allow selecting files from the Viewer side. In this case, file selection has to be performed on the phone side by selecting files directly on the phone screen.
