Hi guys. I am looking to create a website with the 4 APKs that I like to use for easily loading firesticks. Any tips on how I can do this? Also if thare is a way to have them all download with one click or automatically that would be even better. Thanks for the help!
What I would use would be unlinked https://unlinked.link/ Make an account. It will give you a personal code to access your store. Then make an account at Dropbox to Host your files.
https://www.dropbox.com/
Google images, if you want to add an icon.

When you start adding your files to unlinked you have to change the very end of the URL from. dl=0 to raw=1 Or it will not download. Good luck works for me. I keep my apk’s in there to setup boxes.

Wow, that is a terrific response @explorer. Very detailed and helpful, thank you for sharing. Dumb question, is it then possible to make a unique Downloader code to access your own personal Unlinked site/store?

If you go there, you can make the shorten downloader code use in downloader. I will have to give that a try to make sure it works. I have not did that yet.

Yes, you can copy the link from your unlinked Store shorten the code Then, once you open it in downloader, you just have to log into your unlinked store.

Thank you bro but I am hoping to make a simple website with all the APKs listed. This way I can type the website into downloader and then download them all without having to sign in or download unlinked or anything. Just not sure how to make the website with only APKs on it

I guess it depends on what level of knowledge you’re at. For instance
This is doable but with effort.

If your sole objective is to say share files and APKs for installation or access purposes, then in X-plore you can create your own secure internal lan access complete with your own password creater. The link below gives you access to the manual and hiw to set it up. Just click your way around and read. All devices must share the same wifi and one designated as the server. Devices can connect to that server but need to enter the password you created. Lol. Click and enjoy if you’re bored. I now have my Pixel tablet connected directly to my Shield Pro and can share file access cross platform. Still learning but doable. All devices must have X-plore installed and wifi access set up.

Interesting read and great dialogue. Over my skill level. I would have loved to be able to create an apk quick download list for my use on my new devices. I don’t sale them, but I do like to try out different inexpensive boxes with easy setup.

The manual I link to for X-plore has all the info in it to do what you want. For instance, with X-plore open, you can create your own APKs and load them onto a USB drive. Transferring from say My Shield to the USB is quite simple. It has a split panel setup, so I simply go into my Apps, highlight the one I want on the left as the “source” and then in the right panel highlight the destination device and create say a folder labeled “APKs” then because you don’t transfer the entire app you simply “move” the app, X-plore walks you through the setup and creates an APK, and transfers that to the USB drive. Then once you have all your APKs in that file/folder, then you eject the drive and plug it into your new device that already has X-plore installed on it, you highlight your USB, in one of the panels, right or left, find the APK folder, open it, click on your APK you created and an “install” message comes up.
X-plore is feature rich with so many options from APK creation to WiFi password protected LAN creation to FTP, it’s in there. I have barely scratched the surface but it’s quickly becoming a valuable tool for me. Today I am going to attempt to download an app to my pixel tablet, install it, and the try and transfer it to my Shield Pro over the WiFi LAN I created last night. I am going to create an APK for the app on my Tab and transfer it to the USB drive attached to my Shield Pro, and then attempt an install on my Shield Pro, from the USB, using the Pixel Tab WiFi LAN access. X-plore does have seperate instructions for various OSs like linux, Android, Windows etc.

Hi @Miki,
Okay, I’m going to give it a schoolgirl try. It appears very daunting to me. Going to try to follow the instructions to the letter. I do better with video instructions, will see if there is a YouTube video. Thanks for sharing.

My way is similar to @Miki , instead I use es file explorer, click on apps list and then share it to my Proton Drive. Then on any new device I open a browser and go to my Proton Drive to download the apps to the new device.

Perfect @PapaS . I have Proton Drive but have not tried that. I successfully accomplished what I wanted to do, it took me about a half hour as there is quite a bit of learning involved. But I was able to create an APK for an app on my Pixel tablet, then using WiFi sharing and creating a server Address and portal on both the pixel and Shield, I was able to scan for servers on the Shield Pro, connect to the pixel server, open the files on the pixel and ran into my first roadblock. I had to donate some beers to get “premium” access for the functions I needed. Never even knew there was, or is, a premium X-plore. I declined but got the option to watch a 15 second commercial to gain 5 minutes of premiuim access, which is what I did. I was then able to see the APK, I had created, and transfer it to the Internal memory on the Shield Pro and from there to the SanDisk USB drive. Now I could have gone directly to the USB but chose to test each link in my LAN. The APK is now on the USB and when I click on it, it asks me if I want to install it. I presently don’t, but instead I am going to re-establish Lan connection to the Shield and the Pixel, transfer the APK back and test the reinstall onto the Pixel.
Ok that was successful and took me under 5 minutes to get the created APK from my USB Drive attached to the Shield, over to my Pixel Tablet via the WiFi Lan, and install it to be sure it works, and it does. WoooHooo. That was fun.
Further to the “premium” features there isn’t a premium X-plore. You have to watch the commercial to get 5 minutes of premium access or buy some beers through Google. So if you go this route then it’s best to create all the APKs you want from your source device and transfer to a USB drive that you can transfer from one device to another. The way I did it is OK for internal WIFi LAN but not practical for multiple APK transfer and install.
