This was good on prior versions but the latest ones have problems with android automotive where it requires you to do adb debugging which breaks everything. Their support won't answer me, so going to cancel my subscription unfortunately.
rubbish, could only transfer one file at a time
Denne appen er totalt ubrukelig for meg og de behov jeg har. Derfor avinstallerer jeg den nå. Som filbehandler er den etter min forståelse av hva en filbehandler er kun en gryte med alt mulig inkludert som gir meg dårlig smak i munnen.
I bought this program a while back. I paid full price for lifetime and all I get is advertisement and don't have access 2 of the full program? I wrote a couple of times with no response. I guess that will have to delete it
Extremely disappointed. An explorer it is. Nothing more. It couldn't even detect my USB external hard drive. Sure you can go in and look at your storage, but I don't need an app to do that. All I wanted to do was to transfer ALL storage on my SD card to an external USB hard drive.
poorest experience with a file explorer and sharing tool ever had.
can't move files from internal storage to USB storage on the Android TV version!👎👎👎👎👎
it's just a file manager app. we don't need to pay to use a simple file manager
Google Drive? it's one thing to stop supporting Google drive but it's a whole other thing to not admit it and just be completely silent about it. this was one of my favorite file managers and I thought about buying it a few months ago and I'm really glad that I didn't,Google Drive is integral for people like myself who need file managers and it being gone from such a significant app is a huge shame
when the subscription ends the file explorer will not even be usable
they just want money
Clunky and expensive when there's free apps doing much better at the same thing. Noooo. Calling me a user of this app is incredibly incredibly optimistic on your part.
I opted for 7 days free trial but it deducted 499 per year amount. cheating.
wifi share doesn't detect nearby devices on same wifi network. worthless app.
it gave me no instructions so I didn't know how to use it not recommended for first time file manager user's who don't know how to use it
it's required money
Not good
unable to connect through WiFi for file transfers and network connection
they want payment
I was about to buy a lifetime license as the app is good on the tablet, but as a network engineer I absolutely cannot understand how to access SMB shares. I have some hidden Windows shares, and tested with a simple unhidden share without luck. With the folder path set to \ root, it goes into one of the random shares. I have never seen such bizzare behaviour. CX File Explorer works as intended. Will keep playing around, but right now I will not make a purchase, it's also rather expensive.
Wifi Share doesn't work totally from Samsung watch ultra. Waste of time.
While the app may be useful, it's a "Paid Only" app. It comes with a short free trial, which gets used up quickly, so be sure to try different features right off. I didn't realize it expired so quickly, and when it became unusable I hadn't done so. Therefore, I wasn't willing to pay for something I didn't know works to do all it says it can...
can't play my 58gb file just keeps saying error playing media
[101025, Av15, A546U] (1) I don't like the special effects. I'm not looking for a Hollywood File Explorer. I'm looking for a Microsoft good-looking Explorer. (2) I don't need a video player or music player I've already got those. (3) Solid Explorer has y'all beat based on professional looking, In getting the job done nice and effectively. (4) all of the rainbow colors makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm looking for straight Steel.
like the app but I want to pay once off but cost $30 but can't afford it yet
