Sambee is a browser-based viewer and manager for files on SMB network shares and on your computer's local drives. It supports single-pane and dual-pane views and can replace Total Commander-style tools in your browser and on your phone.
SMB shares are accessed through Sambee's server component, which translates between HTTP(S), which your browser understands, and SMB, which a file server understands. Local drive access is provided by Sambee Companion, a helper app that can be installed on your computer and acts as a small service your browser can talk to.
All of this means that Sambee brings your files and folders into the browser and makes them accessible from your phone in much the same way as from your PC or Mac.
Sambee is more than a file manager. It is built for speed and includes a fast image browser with broad file type support, a Markdown editor, and a PDF viewer. All of these work directly in the browser and do not require additional software, except Companion for local-drive access.
Sambee also bridges the gap between the browser and the apps installed on your computer. It lets you open a file in its traditional desktop app directly from the browser. In other words, you can open Word, Excel, or Photoshop files in their respective native apps. When you are done editing, your changes are uploaded back to the original storage location, such as a file share. All of this happens through a smooth, browser-based workflow.
