This is a project designed for the LilyGo T-Dongle-S3 to provide a wifi accessible usb drive to remotely transfer files to 3d printers, lasers, cnc machines that have no network capabilities for control.
the dongle will act like a normal usb drive in the target machine but it will allow you to manage the files on it via a web interface over wifi.
you must use the LilyGo T-Dongle-S3 with this project.

you will need to add a sd card to the dongle, the sd card slot is in the bottom of the usb port as pictured below, you will need to remove the dummy card and insert a fat32 formatted sd card.
the project is built using ESPAsyncWebServer and AsyncTCP so you need to add these libraries to arduino.
if you wish to use the dongle with the lcd screen to display wifi info you will need to add the TFT_eSPI library from my github.

installation is simple you just use the arduino ide to flash the sketch/firmware to the dongle.
use the following board settings
