Ratings and reviews

Does exactly what I want it to. Was after a way to mount network storage to my phone so that directories were visible to third party apps. Worked a charm and I haven't noticed any battery drain or other adverse impacts. Performance is also great for files accessed in real time

Pixel5\Andr14. I add an SMB share, "check connection" works, but after save I don't see a way to use the folder. I check "use as local storage" in settings and rebooted, but nothing changes. In Google "Files" app, the CIFS Documents provider appears under "Other storage", but clicking on it just opens the app. I tried some other file managers, no luck either. I only can see the content of the network folder when I click to upload a file in some other app, e.g. in telegram

This isn't exactly working like I need it to. I need to access files on the nas with apps that can only access the phone's storage. The uri the app provides just isn't accessible to these apps and there's no way I can see to change it to mount to another directory in the phone's storage.
