Ratings and reviews

Automatically pops up to mount, nice. An earlier poor review by me was incorrect ... I had forgotten the following for my OnePlus phone: Some phones require you to enable OTG or something similar to connect USB data cables. My OnePlus 9 5G requires that and gives me 10 minutes to connect before it turns it off for security. My Samsung Galaxy A54 doesn't require that, just plug it in.

It works just fine for reading and deleting files (more than my phones built in file manager can do) but with it forcing you to use Total Commander I can't find a way at all to copy files onto my USB, I can select a user defined location but it just does nothing when trying to select this plug-in within Total Commander, if I could copy files onto the USB then it would be a instant 5 stars.

Reliable access to NTFS drives from phone. I travel with flash drives and adapters, including 4TB+ SSDs. It's not convenient to boot up the Windows laptop just to send a customer a file. I plug that puppy into my phone, browse & send. Also saves space on the phone's internal storage. The price for this app is well worth the incredible convenience. I have never had problems accessing any drive that I could access from a Windows PC. One of the single most useful apps on my phone, full stop.
