Transfer Files from Phone to Android TV
AnExplorer's WiFi Share lets you send files from your Android phone directly to Android TV, Google TV, or Amazon Fire TV over your home WiFi — no cables, no extra apps. Both devices need AnExplorer installed.
What You Need
- AnExplorer on your Android phone
- AnExplorer on your Android TV / Fire TV
- Both devices on the same WiFi network
Step 1 — Prepare the TV to receive
- Open AnExplorer on your Android TV or Fire TV
- Navigate to WiFi Share
- Tap Start — the TV is now listening and waiting for files
Step 2 — Send files from your phone
- Open AnExplorer on your phone
- Navigate to Internal Storage or SD Card and browse to your files
- Long-press to select the file(s) you want to send
- Open the menu and tap WiFi Share
- The Nearby Devices screen appears — select your TV from the list
- Tap Send — the transfer starts immediately
- Files are saved to TV internal storage (or USB storage if a drive is connected)
Step 3 — Find received files on TV
Once transferred, files appear in the Received Files section within WiFi Share on the TV. You can then move them to any folder using AnExplorer's file browser.
Sideload APKs to TV
You can also use WiFi Share to install apps on your TV:
- Download the APK on your phone
- Use WiFi Share to copy it to the TV
- On the TV, open AnExplorer, locate the APK in Received Files, and tap to install
You must enable Unknown Sources (or Install Unknown Apps) in your TV's security settings first.
