Ratings and reviews

A nice, clean, get-the-job done app that gets a lot right but is just crying for a little developer love. Obvious needs include better network error handling, support for multiple shares on the same server, cleaner behavior when accepting a share from other apps, timestamp preservation on copy, IPv6. Running in background would be great, too; that's not a deal breaker for me, but is for many folks.

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.

it's mostly fine but i had to stop using it because some files just would not appear in the browser (local files on my phone). i could use my file manager to share the file to this app and it would send it to my share, but then i couldnt move it to the correct folder
