Most recent update for Unknown Host

…has caused an Unknown Host issue.

No function for sending some file types via text message

Great app but there is no way to send some files types via text message. If I want to send local documents to someone else I first have to send to myself via email and then I can text the documents

Always uploads one fewer file than I select

This app worked great for a long time and has been an essential tool for me. Unfortunately, something changed about a year ago, and as things stand now, uploading via SMB always uploads one fewer fille than I select. Select 5, it uploads 4. Select 10, it uploads 9. Select 1, it uploads nothing. Consistently. This really makes the app far less usable than it used to be. I really hope the app gets some love soon. Otherwise, I am a fan.
