### 3/5 — Application is in alpha stage

*2025-03-01*

Integration with files is ugly, cannot edit files, sometimes locked interface, taps not displayed correctly.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2023-08-26*

The integration with the ios files app could be slightly better and I wish the sync option didn't come with a warning but all in all, I was happy to pay for this app. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Not sure if it works…

*2021-09-27*

Or not sure if I am using it properly. 

Say, I want to upload a file to my WebDAV folder.

I created a corresponding connection in the app, and I could actually browse my WebDAV server and preview my files there and everything worked perfectly fine.

But then coming back to my use case - I want to upload a file there. How do i do this? 

There is an icon in the top right corner of the app, when I click on it, there is a pop up window with “recent” files. But those “recent” files are absolutely not recent. And the file that I want to upload - the file that I just created - is not there. And there is no option to browse folders, it only shows “recent”-not-recent files.

But then I thought I could select my file in the “Files” app and click on the “Send to Web Dav Nav+” to send it into your app. I do this, but then I am looking at spinning circle for some time and getting an error message that WebDavNav could not connect to the server. I go back to the app itself to check if server is available, and there everything totally works and connects to the server.

When I am trying to “open with WebDavNav+” from “Files”, the app just crashes. 

So… I tried all options known to me, and I could not upload a file. 
I am running iPadOS 15 on iPad Air. Is this something that was already reported? Should I just wait for an update? 

Thanks!

### 2/5 — Cannot connect since IOS 13

*2020-01-29*

Since the iOS 13 I can’t connect to my WebDAV server.

**Developer response:** Hi, version 7.2 should correct issues connecting to Windows servers. Let me know if you still have issues connecting on iOS 13.

### 3/5 — bug

*2018-07-30*

删除文件夹出错 是不是bug

### 3/5 — Mostly OK; Bonjour integration could be streamlined

*2018-04-21*

- bad Russian translation
- Bonjour discovery is clumsy (you need to explicitly scan and add a server); I’d rather have autodiscovered servers temporarily appear in the main list

### 1/5 — Word Dateien werden leer gespeichert

*2018-01-24*

Bisher hat es funktioniert. Nun sind die Dateien jedoch in Owncloud nach dem sichern in Word leer.

### 1/5 — Stoped working

*2017-07-19*

It doesn't work anymore

### 1/5 — Edit Files

*2017-04-22*

In der Beschreibung steht, das Editieren von Files wäre möglich. Geht aber nicht :-(

### 2/5 — Playlist

*2017-01-16*

Doit toujours appuyer sur next pour le prochain track

### 1/5 — Not working as expected iOS 16+

*2024-04-26*

Connects to air stash via WiFi but then times out. 
Waste of time and money.

### 1/5 — Does Not Sync automatically

*2023-11-26*

Just does Not what it says. Only manual Sync. Useless.

### 1/5 — ios13になってつながらない

*2020-01-28*

ios13にバージョンアップしてから、今までつながっていたサーバーにつながらなくなりました。

### 1/5 — Great app that keeps begging for a review

*2019-07-13*

Nice app, but please don’t beg me for a review.  Over.  And over. And over again.  You wanted it, so here it is: 1 Star. Stop begging, and I’ll change my rating.  Presumably you will stop begging now that I have posted, so not sure how you’ll do that, but there you go.

### 1/5 — レビュー強要うざい

*2019-06-10*

業務で至急使わなくてはならんので
必死に使い方を試行錯誤しているのに
レビュー強要のポップアップは苛立つ
それより
ヘルプやチュートリアルを充実させて欲しい

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2019-03-14*

垃圾根本不能用

### 1/5 — Es Funktioniert

*2018-08-26*

Aber die Bewertungsbettelei NERVT!

### 1/5 — Spielt die selbst aufgenommen Videos nicht ab.

*2018-08-04*

Hallo, wollt nur sagen dass seit dem ich die kostenpflichtige Version gekauft habe, ich meine   hochgeladene Videos auf dem WebDAV nicht mehr abspielen kann. Mit der kostenlosen Version war das problemlos möglich!

### 1/5 — Stopped working all of a sudden

*2018-03-29*

No help from Restore purchases, does not find nas.

### 1/5 — One star because of the annoyance of being constantly asked for review

### 5/5 — Works well

*2023-12-29*

The integration with the ios files app could be slightly better (e.g. editing) - I was happy to pay for this app. Thank you.

### 5/5 — 👍🏼 Great App!

*2023-11-30*

This program is very good! I’ve barely used any of its massive feature set, but look forward to doing so.

2 Requests & 1 Problem

* Once connected, I find the icons in the lower left to be very tiny and confusing. A text label next to each would be *very* helpful.

* In trying to connect to your also useful WebDAVNav Server using a self-signed certificate it made—and I approved in Keychain Access—I could publish from the Calendar app on my Mac, but trying to connect to it from this iOS app tells me “an SSL error occurred” even though I’ve turned on Prefs > Security > Trust all SSL certificates. 

* It could be much more secure to trust on a host-by-host basis instead of a global “Trust Everything” setting. 

Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Simply brilliant!

*2019-03-01*

I have my own NAS (Synology) at home which is, most of the time, 5,000 km from where I usually roam.  This little bit of software allows me access to pretty much most of my files at home.  I can download music, videos, documents, as I can also upload, all incredibly fast and flawlessly from my iPad Pro and iPhone X.  And this is just the tip of iceberg when it comes to functionality.
Thank you Schimera.

### 5/5 — Thanks Mate

*2018-09-07*

Yeah wasn't bad, wouldn't recommend
A bit how ya going

### 5/5 — Works great

*2018-05-04*

I have quickconnect disables on my Synology NAS so can’t use DS File. This app allows me to have a secure connection to my NAS.

### 5/5 — A fantastic App that does...

*2018-02-19, version 6.0.5*

This has been my go to WebDAV app for several years as it just works so dam well.
You can have several servers defined OR the same server with different logins and it’s just one click and your connected.

### 5/5 — Super!

*2018-01-28*

Sehr gut!

### 5/5 — Best webdav server

*2018-01-15*

Our law firm' data storage policy prohibits the  placing confidential data on remote servers, so the use of this app is mandatory. 

That policy is based upon our understanding that frequently changed strong passwords and shared secrets beat advertising claims of "strong military-grade encryption".  The problem is not the real or illusory strength of encryption, but rather infinite data duplication by way of constant backups, just like email. This is why Hillary Clinton and Mike Pence both look like idiots.  So if you don't understand all of this and do not have a working knowledge of Server App,  use a good IT consultant to set it up. 

While accessing a remote server and using the files stored there over a wireless cellular VPN connection is never bulletproof, troubleshooting has always led to a spontaneous VPN failure or server glitch requiring a server adjustment or reboot. You need an iOS to computer screen sharing app to solve server problems remotely. 

This app is intuitive, fast and feature-rich. The interface is very close to a direct or LAN computer screen sharing session. You can create, delete, delete, and move folders and files. You can view all files in the built-in iOS viewer.  You can open, edit and save (locally or remotely) Word, Pages, Excel and Numbers documents. 

I have not used the built-in iOS server. 

We run Yosemite and Server App 5.XX on our server and iOS 10 on iPhone 6 phones and iPad Air 2s. We have used this app since we ran Mountain Lion and maybe iOS 5 on iPhone 4 phones and iPad 2s.

This is also one of the few software publishers that does not seem to release alpha or beta updates to use its customers computers to involuntarily test them.

### 5/5 — Great stuff

*2017-11-11*

I use this for my business, I’m on the road a lot and need to update files and write reports etc. Find it very useful to access my files on my NAS and it’s very quick and always connects. 
I can store files in my phone in one place rather than the apple approach of having stuff all over the place and could not manage with out it.

### 5/5 — Best WebDAV app

*2017-09-22*

Best one. Worth paying for.
