Ratings and reviews

Finally I found a fricking app that connects to my Windows desktop which I have a share setup to my MP3 folder, so I can copy albums to my phone so I can listen in the car. ES File Explorer needs a premium version and CX File Explorer didn't work at all. Good simple app but I think the file explore (folders) screen isn't very good (like have it remember your scroll position when you go into a folder and then come out again). If you upgrade that control it would be 5 stars.

Used to be great, but at some point it stopped working, and now when trying to connect to SMB shares it gives permission denied errors even though on all other devices the SMB shares work fine with the same creds. I'm guessing there's something about SMB version 2 or 3 that the app isn't properly handling, because my shares work fine on linux/windows with multiple other applications.

Would be glad if it allows me to play the content (music and videos) without downloading it while they're connected with each other. Like the MiXplorer's SMB for example (except it has the ability to host an SMB1 server). You know why I downloaded your app? It's because it has SMB2 and 3 in it. We should be able to play the content in the in the future update :D Also, is there any way to host an SMB2/3 server using an android smartphone? You might as well add that feature to your app.
