VirtualHere USB Server 4.8.0

The VirtualHere USB Server software transforms your Android Phone/Tablet/TV/PC/Shield/Embedded device into a USB Server. It is a C native compiled binary for optimal performance, capable of leveraging multiple CPU cores if available.

NEW: Seamlessly integrates with the Valve Steam Link App!

In Trial mode, this application supports sharing one USB device up to seven times. For continued usage with enhanced functionalities, such as the ability to share more than 3 devices simultaneously from a single Android server or running the client as a service, a license can be purchased at https://www.virtualhere.com/android

Alternatively, if acquired through the Play Store, the license restricts sharing to 3 USB devices at a time on an Android device. Similar to other Play Store apps, please refer to the Play Store terms and conditions for possible refund policies.

Clients are compatible with Windows, Linux, and OSX operating systems.

The VirtualHere USB Server eliminates the necessity for a physical USB cable by transmitting USB signals over a wireless or wired network. This setup allows the USB device to operate as if directly connected to a client machine despite being remotely linked to your Android device. All existing client drivers function seamlessly, rendering the client machine oblivious to any distinction! It's akin to replacing a USB cable with a network connection or granting a USB device an IP address.

For instance:

1. Remotely manage your digital camera by connecting it to your phone and controlling it from a desktop
2. Convert any printer into a wireless printer
3. Employ USB devices in virtual machines
4. Connect your gaming controller and play streaming games remotely over LAN or the Internet
5. Utilize a USB-to-serial converter for remote access to serial devices
6. Utilize USB devices in cloud environments without requiring special programming
7. Directly access USB drives connected to your Android device in Windows/Linux/OSX systems

Your Android device must possess USB host capabilities (typically present in larger or newer devices). Additionally, you may need to procure a Micro-USB OTG to Host adapter if your device only features a Micro-USB port.
