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.

Dissatisfied

Excellent file navigation. No export options. I want to open videos on a server in imovies.

Fine app except google drive not working

This is a very powerful and useful App. But recent Google Drive it’s not working. Otherwise it would have been excellent. App

This is awesome

However, if there is 10 or 15 seconds forward/backward button on the video player, that’s going to be perfect app.

This is the one to get

I think I tried every other remote file manager in the App Store before I found the one that really does the job - this one. I can preview a remote file, bring it over, work on it and then save back to the remote drive. It was easy to set up my remote sharing folders following the help file.

This doesn’t works GoogleDrives with iOS 13.3

This doesn’t works GoogleDrives with iOS 13.3

Excellent

excellent for storing all the information of all apple products in one place

Useless now that iOS 13 came out

I can’t download any pictures to my time capsule anymore. Overnight the app became absolutely useless. I guess time to get another app.

Needs updating badly.

Upload to network drive stopped working after iOS 13 update.

Copy doesn’t always work

Too many failures so why so many 4 stars??

Airport Cloud

Works well for moving files to my AirPort Extreme. Better than the cloud and cheaper in the long run.

Excellent

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years. Its functionality is excellent. I can move files between mobile devices and my NAS easily. It supports Touch ID, a security feature lacking in many other file managers. I recommend this app.

Apple to Window’s

If you own an iPhone and your computer is windows, you need this app. Couldn’t live without it. Thank you

The best app since iCloud - or even better!

Absolutely essential app for storing, saving, managing, organizing, and especially transferring stuff on and between my iPads and desktop. On the desktop, a thumb-drive is all you need. BUT - on the iPads, there's no way to save or back up or transfer anything except by handing it over to the Cloud - or, by using an app like *Remote Files* to transfer them to a file-hub device and a regular thumb-drive! And, along the way, to save them in the app's built-in file system, for "further study". An indispensable app!!

Great app!!!

Great app!!!

Complimentary

Goes great with cheese

I am starting to wonder what is the point?

I want a way to copy/move and manage files on iCloud, Google Docs, but apparently it does neither. So what is the point if you cannot do either off these activities?

Apple already provides a crappy file manager - crappy because it is buggy for google docs or at least that is my experience.

To be fair, it seems to offer delete/create folder and rename. You can also make it a favorite, but these things I do rarely. And further, if you want to view numerous documents inside the app, that apparently works.

But most of these features are available in other apps. To me, a file manage is just that allowing me to manage my files.

Issue playing video files

Overall I like this app because I can easily transfer files from my phone to my local samba drives. However, using the paid version every time I playing a video file when I switch apps next time I come back either the app restarts or I should replay the file since the audio doesn't play correctly.
