### 4/5 — Nice

*2023-12-27, version 2.2.49*

The application works well, it is a bit primitive, e.g. there is no adding files from the application level, there is only a photo gallery (to add files, select them in iOS and then use the "share" option). 
Still, it does the basic job :)

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2023-07-28, version 2.2.49*

Where is the option to upload files?

### 1/5 — Crash App

*2023-03-19, version 2.2.47*

L’application est inutilisable !
Complètement buguée, impossible de lire les dossiers, upload de fichiers…

### 1/5 — Nothing loads

*2022-11-29, version 2.2.47*

Worked great at first, now nothing loads (not even folders).

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2022-11-17, version 2.2.47*

Terrible client application.  great pydio server but terrible client implementation for ios.  with zero functionality.  Make a good app for ios!

### 2/5 — No files app integration

*2022-04-21, version 2.2.47*

Can't access files through Files app

### 3/5 — Make an automatic photo upload

*2022-02-07, version 2.2.47*

Make an automatic photo upload

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work...

*2021-04-04, version 2.2.45*

I love Pydio and was so excited to be able to upload directly from my iPhone via an app. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. Oh well I guess.

### 1/5 — Poor App Design

*2021-03-30, version 2.2.45*

The interface isn’t exactly user-friendly but I was able to log on to my server after some trial-and-error. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t allow for uploading from anywhere except for the photo library, so it is pretty much useless.

### 5/5 — Strong file sharing product

*2020-12-26, version 2.2.40*

This is an excellent product. Very nice UI and works as expected, useful to have on a mobile device
