Compile

dotnet publish -c Release --output ./MyTargetFolder .\TelegramDownloader.csproj

Usage

• Create a private or public channel on Telegram.
• The new channel will appear on the left side panel.
• Click on the folder icon and you will access the file manager.
• Go to the tab called local.
• Select the files or folders you want to upload to Telegram.
• Click on the Upload Telegram option in the menu.
• You can see the upload progress by clicking on the three dots located in the upper right position, which will display the right side panel. Then click on the Tasks option.
• When the upload tasks are finished, you will be able to see the uploaded files in the file manager, in the Remote tab.
• When you want, you can download the files again to a location on your local computer, selecting the files or folders and clicking the Download to Local button.

Android apps

Both apps are native Kotlin + Jetpack Compose clients built on the server's REST API v1 (/api/v1), documented in docs/api. Point them at your server address and API key and they work over the same Telegram session as the web.

Phone and tablet — tfm-android-app

Full file manager on the go:

• Telegram login from the app, by QR or phone number (with 2FA).
• Channels: saved / all / favourites, search, statistics, create a channel, join by invitation, leave, and build or refresh a channel index choosing which media types to scan.
• File browser with breadcrumbs, filters, recursive search, multi-select, folder creation, rename, copy/move, delete, upload from the device and download to the server or to the device.
• Server local storage: browse, upload, send to a Telegram channel without re-uploading the bytes, and clear the streaming cache.
• Live transfers over the /hubs/transfers SignalR hub: speed, progress and queues, with global and per-item pause, resume, cancel and retry.
• Background audio player (Media3 + MediaSession) with a mini player and server-side playlists, plus video streaming for channel and local files.
• Server settings: simultaneous downloads, parallel chunks, connections per download.

Android TV and Fire TV — tfm-android-tv-app

A D-pad first client focused on watching the videos you keep in your channels:

• Channels split into mine, shared, favourites, Telegram chat folders and all, with a name search.
• Folder navigation inside a channel, an all videos view and a messages view, each sortable by name, date or size.
• Playback with the built-in player (ExoPlayer plus FFmpeg software decoders, so MKV or AVI with AC3/DTS play fine), VLC, any other installed player or the system default.
• Updates itself from GitHub Releases, and runs on Android 6.0, which covers Fire TV sticks from 2015 onwards.

Both repositories publish a signed APK as a GitHub Release on every push to main.
