Does not open pdf files after the latest update.

9/14/2024: Search still doesn't work. Please add customizable folders. It's supposed to work but folders default back to stock view with every close and open of the app. Definitely buddy. Please add a clean tool. None of the network features work. I've had to start using "Send Anywhere" again SMH. Thank you for keeping the app updated. Much appreciated. 9/2024: Super awesome. Been using file explorers for years. It's easy. Simple. UI is great. Can't go wrong.
I recently installed AVG antivirus and it's telling me that this app has malicious code I should uninstall it, actually I purchase this app a few years back, this kinda worries me, why AVG tells me this about An explorer?
Can't get it to read my external drive at all
Be careful with this one. As far as helping to transfer files between a watch and anything else, it's useless. Google absolves itself of any responsibility and suggests I am wrong and I take the time to deal directly with the developer. Well, that is their job. Mine is being "banking and regulatory attorney"! It's only $10 but this was worth the time I put into it. The charge was reversed 18 minutes ago. Keep copies of any responsive emails you get; they usually shoot themselves in the foot!
Does not transfer from Galaxy Watch 4. Requesting refund.
Hi team, I installed the app on my Airtel Xstream device, it detects my USB Pen drive, but doesn't display and play the files on it. Barely a couple of hours back I had purchased, fix my issue or help me with a refund. Thank you
Not working
It just did not recognize external storage. Identifies it's there but cannot transfer files. Even with permission granted
Search function is useless.
Constantly ejecting SSD, couldn't get a refund.
the photo looks good, but when I installed it on mine, it looked all amature.
After purchase, it worked once on my Android TV. Never worked again; it no longer launches. Would NOT recommend.
Not worth paying for. Es file explorer better except for ads.
Plz add cloud support in it such as one drive and google drive
The app has a nice interface, design and it works well. The main goal for which I needed the app, was to transfer PDF documents on my galaxy watch 4 and also visualise them. Sadly the app has no pdf viewer incorporated for the galaxy watch 4. This is why I requested a refund.
Very well put together interface, but sadly for me no facility for SMB/NAS streaming of music content. Would love to do this directly to smartwatch and connect to BT speakers.
