FTP Server (Free) vs Immich Uploader
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FTP Server (Free)
This app can serve files over the internet but the most likely usage is to access files from another computer without needing a cable. The name Demo in the launcher just means that it corresponds to the free version on Google. The app is fully featured so instead of buying the "Full" version as a way of contributing you can donate via the Paypal link.
Immich Uploader
Immich Uploader is a small app that discovers media files on your Android device, then uploads them to your Immich instance. The app can be configured to remove media files from your device after successful updates. This can be configured individually by type of file (Photo, Screenshot, Download, or Others). The app needs INTERNET permissions for the upload as well as access to your media files, which it will explicitly ask for.
