Ratings and reviews

Seems like it will work but way too complicated. Nonrooted devices need to send files to a temporary folder. I send files to the temporary folder and it doesn't tell me where that folders location is or how to access it. No shortcuts in the app or anything. Once I find this folder we'll see how well app works. Edit: okay you select the path in settings but this app makes you figure out way too much on your own, like temp folder and exfat download. Once you figure it out the app works good.

As far as i can tell, contrary to all of the negative reviews, this app does exactly what it states it will do. As others have mentioned the interface is somewhat clunky and non-intuitive, it probably helps that I have a strong Unix/Linux background in working with encryption systems. The only thing that I see that is really a flaw is that there is no cut/paste (recursive move) facility, there is only copy/paste functionality, which severely limits usability.

(PS1: I will pay for the pro version only if EDS pro improves Video/Photo browsing experience like the android Gallery app. Mouting is not an option because nowadays root permission is not very common in phones.) (PS2: There is no preview for video files. It only supports preview photos. Since I can not use Gallery app to open videos/photos in EDS container, I hope EDS company really consider adding video preview feature and better gallery support. Thank you very much) ---- I changed 1 star to 5 stars. The reason why I gave 1 star is because it can not open/mount LUKs encrypted USB Drive (Partition). But later I figure out how to use LUKs container image file, that actually works, althought it only supports luks1 (does not support luks2). This is the only program I can find which supports LUKs encryption and works well so I changed the review to 5 stars.
