In order to use the USB to access files over the DIR 505, you must install the SharePort App on to your computer, Tablet, Android or apple device.

Will someone please post a good/working link to download SharePort for Windows 7.



Many, many, many Android devices can not download from GooglePlay (Android Market)
They purchased the Dir 505 but can not download the SharePort App (bummer)
Will someone please post a good/working link to download SharePort for Android.

I've been using v4.00 SP from the DIR-827 support site and has been working well for me on Windows 7 x64 on several different model routers.

Thanks FurryNutz  ( pretty lowdown to make another dude refer to you as FurryNutz) (lowdown)

I went over to the Dir 827 support to download the SharePort 4.0 App for Windows 7.
Unfortunately, I cant manage to download from the link.

Anyone else have a good/working link to download SharePort 4 for Windows 7 ?

[FurryNutz]

Does this link work for you?
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/shareport/pc_shareport_plus_utility_400.zip

[brownbox]

Thanks, I managed to download the file.

The problem was with my firewall. (cant download with my strong firewall settings)
I Turned-Off my firewall, then the download worked.
I now have SharePort 4.0 for Windows 7.

Thanks Fuzzy ... :-)   lowdown

[FurryNutz]

Is the firewall enabled on the router? If so, then you are safe turning OFF client side PC based Firewalls as they are not needed. The firewall on these routers work very well keeping people out. Just a suggestion. 

[brownbox]

Its my main ISP's router's firewall.
I generally keep it cranked Up pretty secure.  Works well for me.

Thanks for the help.  Fuzz

[FurryNutz]

Enjoy.

No, you don't need the SharePort app.  You just open a web browser to http://dlinkrouter:8181 and log in. From Windows 7 I was able to upload and download files in Firefox. From an iPad I had more difficulty, and the SharePort app for iOS does not allow download or upload of files (contrary to D-Link's claims that you can upload from an iPad.) Using a browser on the iPad I could download files but not upload

No, you don't need the SharePort app.  You just open a web browser to http://dlinkrouter:8181 and log in.

Thanks holmes4

Which Mode are you in when you do this? Router, Repeater or Hotspot?

--------------------------------------------
Update: I got in under the Router Mode  (using Windows 7)  (no success with Android 2.3)
This File Share thing is soooooo sloooow.  A worthless feature.

Can you confirm that the SharePort App for PC works with the DIR 505?

I've seen the :8181 web access but I would like to access it using Windows Explorer.
I don't see the app listed in the additional downloads on its product page.

I've seen an alternative to the SharePort App: http://www.silexeurope.com/en/home/support/productgroups/common-downloads/device-server-and-virtual-link.html
from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV5HTr5ffUI

I don't know if it is compatible with the DIR 505 either.

[fattmox]

I can confirm that neither the SharePort PC Application or the Silex program can access removeable storage plugged into the 505. Bummer - I need it to back up a bunch of stuff from a Mac

Hopefully I can write a javascript multifile uploader that uses:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://192.168.0.1/folder_view.htm" target="upload_frame"></form>

Ideally I'd like to build a jquery based multifile upload queue that reuses the existing upload form action. If I have any success I will post.
