About this application

CameraFileCopy is an Android application for transferring data by using the device camera as the communication channel. Instead of relying on a network connection, it is intended for situations where a phone can look at another display or device and receive information through what the camera sees. This makes it relevant when wireless data services are unavailable or deliberately disabled.

The application is distributed under the MIT license and is limited to Android according to the available platform information. Its purpose is narrow: copying data through a camera-based workflow, including use while the device is in airplane mode. It is not presented here as a general file manager, cloud sync client, or messaging application.
