Excellent!

I REALLY have no idea why this app has so many negative reviews. Personally, I think it’s one of the most useful apps on the market. Especially the FTP transfer, the file organisation. This is literally my ‘External Hard drive’ that I can store files on and transfer from using FTP. Brilliant app. Keep making new ones please. 👍🏻
