Option to disable autostart / listening for connections on boot.

Open mark-orion opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

The moment the android device boots up, Nitroshare listens for transfers / connections. While this might be convenient for some people, there should be an option to disable autostart for security reasons.

Seconded. Not a good choice. At least a UI option?

Thirded :v Normally wouldn't add a comment for that, but since it's been two years since last interaction, I think it's worth bumping the thread.

There is an option for this:

Can you please confirm that this does what you described?

Nope, that's not what I mean. I want to be able to receive while the app is running, but not have the app start listening on boot. ATM you can "Exit" the app from the burger menu, I want that as the default.

Oh, I think I see what you mean — only be able to receive while the application has focus?

Something along those lines yeah. I don't mind it running in the background so long as it doesn't do it automatically on boot.
