AirPhotoServer

AirPhotoServer is the server of AirPhotoViewer, a software application designed specifically for helping you view your photos from your computer to your Apple device (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch).

This utility acts as a server and makes it possible for you to share your pictures and songs over Wi-Fi connections. AirPhotoServer works hand in hand with AirPhotoViewer (which can be launched from an iOS device) but it is also able to function as a standalone photo web server.

The tool adopts a clean and minimalistic design that enables you to access the Home panel where you can view general information about your PC name, state and IP address. You may set up a master password for making sure other users cannot gain access to your private information.

AirPhotoServer gives you the possibility to build up separate lists with the photos, files and audio items that you want to share. You can only make use of the built-in browse button, as there’s no support for drag-and-drop.

What’s more, you can open the target locations where all your files are stored directly from the main panel of the application, remove the selected items from the list, tweak several photo settings (enable or disable cache thumbnails, deletion and uploading options, and RAW format), and turn on the Air-Access mode for sharing files on the Internet.

The web-driven layout proves to be particularly handy especially if you want to quickly access your files right from your web browser, be it Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera or another one.

You may switch between different display modes (big or small thumbnails, square or rectangle thumbnail form), click on a target photo for viewing it enlarged, go to the previous or next item from the list, as well as start a slideshow.

Plus, you can advantage of your web browser’s capabilities and copy the picture to the clipboard, export the selected item to JPG file format, as well as email the photo or set it as your desktop background.

The built-in audio player gives you the freedom to listen to audio files, adjust the volume and seek for a position in the audio streams. Plus, you can upload documents from your computer and view them displayed in a list along with information about their name and size.

Several configuration settings offer you the freedom to turn on the web access feature, enter the port number, automatically look for updates and run the utility at Windows startup, as well as activate or disable several services, such as files, music and photos.

All things considered, AirPhotoServer delivers a simple software solution for helping you set up a photo web server, and is suitable for all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
