Remote File Explorer User Reviews

No computers appear

No computers appear. Please fix.

Can't view remote image files

Says it has file readers for .jpg files but the only thing you can see is the file name and the option to download. Not useful for me.

It connected fine to my remote hard drive though.

It's pure crap ....

This thing does nothing except waste your time.

Doesn't see any of my computers

I have three MacBook Pros and four Thinkpads; the app never identified a single computer on my network.

File manager?

Where's the "file management". When I connect to my network storage the only
option is to download. Nothing about deleting or renaming files. So it's useless to me.

Ordinaire

À part le fait que le Browser ne fonctionne pas, le reste est correct. Il permet quand même de garder des dossiers personnels avec des documents en pdf, etc.

Doesn't work

Like most people who have tried it, it won't see any of the desktops on my network. It wasn't able to find any of the Windows, Linux, and Mac boxes I have.

Pointless app

Doesn't work, hasn't been updated for ages.

Shame but doesn't work

I needed something to access my samba shares from my NAS but this can't find them and doesn't have a way to manually enter the host ip

Won't Explore on LAN

Every time I attempt to get to a LAN connection the application crashes.

Does not work properly

It crashes all the time especially when using the browser

Doesn’t work

Selecting “Search computer on LAN” results in empty list if connected under WiFi, or crashes the program if connected via VPN.

I'm confused

Just what is this app supposed to do. It can't find any other PCs on my network or even files on my iPad. It's junk, don't waste your time with it.

Useless

No way to add a server address. Don't waste your time.

Could not see a simple network tried File Browser worked first time.

I tried this to connect to my NAS, but it did not work. Tried File Browser (did cost $7.49), but worked first time.

Worked fine for me

I have a two computer Windows network with a server. I was able to browse all files and retrieve any one I wished. I see no problem here. I assume some of you may not have proper network setups.

Has potential

Looks good and has potential but does not work with password protected shares. Rather than letting you enter a password, just states 'permission denied'

Found nothing

This app could not find any computers running within my local network.

Not worth it,

App connects to my network storage device and shows shared folders but provides not means to enter userid/password to login. Hence, app only able to access files in unsecured shared folders

Garbage

Does not perform as advertised. Or at all.
