Ratings and reviews

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.

It used to work perfectly, but now, files aren't imported fully to containers anymore. Let's say I import a folder with 50 images. When I copy over that folder to the container, it looks like it's perfectly fine, but when you actually go into that folder, only 2 files were copied. No matter how many times you try, you can't import the remaining 48 images. This is even worse when your original folder has multiple images, and you can keep track of which ones successfully imported, so you end up deleting images that were not backed up inside the container. Also, if this is fixed, can we have a feature where when a video ends, the next video file in the folder plays?

I really wanted to like this app but the interface makes it unusable. Created an encrypted volume on an SD card but, having navigated to a normal folder on the SD card and then moved a subfolder to the encrypted volume, I now get those two paths shown in the list of file volumes with no way to traverse past them back up the tree! Maybe there's a hidden command, but the screens are pretty sparse and I've spent a long time looking. Disappointed.
