### 2/5 — No working to open folders

*2012-12-12, version 1.1.1*

I have this for few years , but recently has stopped working on my 3GS ios6 , emailed them a week ago , have failed to reply , can not open folders app crash  files in the root folder are ok

### 3/5 — Crash!

*2012-11-16*

Has been a simple &  reliable favorite on my iPhone but now it crashes when I try to open a folder.  Was the iOS 6 upgrade to blame???

### 3/5 — Great but...

*2011-04-12, version 1.1.1*

Great app and very easy to use. Would get 5 stars hands down if I could email my files like most other USB drive apps

### 3/5 — Faulty connection to network

*2011-02-03, version 0*

Sometimes the computers won't connect to the network address the app provides.

Also, please create an option to email a file or folder from the list in the mbdrive.  And if you can, explore other ways to get the files out in case you cant connect to a network as stated.

Thanks.

### 2/5 — Aggravating

*2010-12-06*

You can easily transfer files (mp3) into the iphone, but when i tried to transfer them from my iphone to another computer it just DOES NOT work!! Aggravated n i wasted my money.

### 4/5 — MR. Green

*2010-08-23*

Verty nice, byt need work on picture page and imidite fit screen mode... with page mode or next pic in folder mode.

### 2/5 — Inconsistent

*2010-07-30*

Great idea with poor implementation. Inadequate apps take the joy and efficiency out of the iPhone!!

### 4/5 — Best wifi drive I have found for the money

*2010-07-21*

For the money this is the best wifi drive I have found to manage a moderate number of files.  The UI is easy to use. Not too many bells and whistles, but you get more with this app than with many other higher priced file storage apps.  

Small Complaints/Suggestions for Improvement:
1. Once you open a file you have to close the app and reboot to get back to the main menu.  For this reason I couldn't recommend this for those of you who need to continually access a large number of files on your iPhone.
2. You cannot export files from the drive into your iPhone camera roll. (note: you can import from the camera roll into the drive)
3. Viewing landscape images when the phone is held in the portrait position adds a large white bar to the bottom of the image.

### 4/5 — Dose what it says

*2010-07-17, version 0*

Very good as an offsite backup, I use robocopy to backup my projects.

Only issue is that I haven't figured out how to change the port number.

### 3/5 — Cool but......

*2010-07-13*

Is there a way you can make it so I we can transfer files through a USB cord? So I don't need wifi everywhere
