1. 5/5Good experience

   Very good and simple app to use. Easy to navigate to save my files from other apps. The only issue I have with the app is playing audio file. When you open an audio file to play, the app doubles the time. For example, if the audio is 5 mins, when you open it, the app will present it as 10 mins and when the 5 mins is reached on the play mode, the audio stops and runs the other 5 additional mins with no sound, later before it changes to the next file. You could imagine what happens a 50mins, 1hr, 1:30hrs file; it would double up the time as 1:40mins, 2hrs, 3hrs respectively. It really distorts putting the play on an automatic changing of audio. I would be glad if this could be worked on asap. Thank you.

2. 5/5Excellent App

   I have Synology NAS and I wanted an app that could display thumbnails and full pictures on both the NAS using my own directory structure as well as on my IPAD. I tried at least six different apps and none of them filled the bill. I also have a lot of music stored on the NAS and I can quickly search my music to get anything in the title. I had also always had the artist in the title so I can quickly search for the artist. The app plays the music or will automatically stream pictures to my IPAD or television through my IPAD. I truly think I have found a great app. Thank you developer.

3. 3/5Uploading Files, GREAT! Viewing not so much

   If your looking for an app to be able to view SMB files or offload files onto a NAS or something like that. It’s great in that sense! Im able to offload pictures and videos from my phone at a slow speed but it gets the job done. I can add folders, drag and drop files into folders and etc. The problem is video playback. If a file is VERY compressed it will play the video no problem. But if the video is long and not very compressed or is 4K 60 (even 1080p 60) this app just struggles to play it. Before anyone says it’s my server or my network it’s not. This app maxes out at 1Mbps when receiving information. I watched the server statistics when using this app, to troubleshoot and it was only sending out again, 1Mbps. Meaning this app is limiting its intake. When watching those same videos on a computer, they run flawlessly. It’s only this app I have the issue on. However, photo viewing and music playing with this app does work great, no problems at all. But that would be expected as there smaller file sizes. Overall this is a very good app and does what I mainly need it to do. Offload videos and photos from my phone. I just wish the playback for videos was better. Again that totally seems fixable on the developers end.

4. 3/5IAP restore has been REMOVED!!

   That really needs to be put back in, #Immediately this is one of the first apps I ever bought in the App Store, you owe me the full version of this. ============>> I appreciate the developer response and they offered me the full version of PRO. But I entreat them, please put the in app purchase restore function back in to the free version. As it turns out, I got this app sometime around 2011 and I purchased pro via IAP in 2012, a year later. This app is about 500 times more useful than it was back then, as now we can connected to all of our cloud storage services. As well as iCloud drive. Or we can download something from the Internet, store locally, and then open it with another app. In fact it has gotten a lot easier to do this. But there is still no reason to remove in app purchasing from the free versions of these apps, I noticed that the FTP and Gdrive Version of this app no longer have there in app purchases either. As a matter of fact GDrive can no longer connect to google drive, and that needs to be updated because this app is a lot easier to deal with than Google’s apps. of course you can buy the pro version and it covers all of those features, but there are still people who bought those specialty versions of this app back when they were offered and I am sure they would be happy to be able to restore there in app purchases as well: or at least they should be offered the full version. Finally, I should have been given the full version when I purchased file explorer for Apple TV. Also, there is no ability to store local files on that version the internal Apple TV storage is totally locked out. That should be something that needs to be looked into. Once again, I appreciate the update, but this app it’s self stays at it’s one star rating until you restore the In App purchase feature.

5. 5/5Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

   Spent 2 hours trying to figure a way to offload my videos from my iPhone onto my NAS. It’s a sad realization that we’ve come to a point where even the simplest capabilities afforded to us by decades of operating systems, like local network file sharing, has been taken away and or made difficult, so that we have to subscribe to a service. This app asks for nothing and lets you deal with your files as you wish. Super fast, intuitive, and clean. Just like the old days. Dumped about 20 gigs over my WiFi. No errors.
