Cannot see directories starts with ‘.’

A good app supports connecting to windows shared drives. However, it cannot see any folder starts with a dot character. E.g. folder with name “.profile” is not visible. Please fix this in the next release?

Still can’t transfer correctly

Sending files to a computer, it will not send the last file you select. If you select only one file to send to a pc, it will not send at all

Unsuccessful in reading files

I used to use this app regularly. But a few years ago it stopped its capability of reading my files stored on my Apple Airport router. My devices currently run iOS 13.4 and I just get a gray screen when trying to view a file. I had hoped this issue would’ve been fixed with software updates, but it has not. Hope to be able to once again use this app soon.

The file manager Apple should provide

but didn’t. So get this app! Does a great job with local and remote files. Simple file transfer or streaming of all popular formats. In fact, I am using this app instead of DLNA for playing LAN content.
