Ratings and reviews

Professionally developed app by company who specializes in this sort of thing. They have to pay licensing fees, plus development, so don't resent the reasonable, one time, app cost. Make sure to give permissions and mount and unmount drive. Highly recommend X-Plore FM. Have used with multiple devices and phones since my Note 4. Make sure cord quality is good and rotating HDs have power. USB connections are not always solid, so be wary of movement. Read no exFAT for TV so use NTFS with this. 👍

Reliable, especially considering the motley mix of drives it's mounted and given me access to: powered external hard drives; old, beat up thumb drives; etc. Have had the paid version for years--worth it. I'm not thrilled with Total Commander: the file manager in makes you use. I find it counter intuitive, at best. Also, your success may vary depending on your phone and its version of Android(?). NOTE: if the drive you're mounting requires external power, get the appropriate powered cable/dongle

Straight up does not show NTFS formatted USB drives. I've tried two different USB drives, two different phones with multiple restarts, and multiple reinstalls this app. The only conclusion I can come to is that it simply does not do the thing it's advertised as being able to do. At least it shows two pages of privacy policy before you can use the app, in case you were curious if this app is harvesting your personal data (it is). Shame on you Paragon, delist this app if it doesn't do the thing!
