Files Connect App Reviews

Really good product, but check their web site...they dont list this one anymore. And if you submit a tech support question, Files Connect doesnt show up in the list of options you can ask a question about.

I cannot even use this app because it crashes almost as soon as I start using it with null pointer exceptions. Fix your code or refund. You cannot sell apps that do not work as specified.

I can access files on time capsule which is what I wanted, but most of those files are photos. In order to see the photo you have to view each one individually. No preview images just generic icons. This is a serious oversight and renders this app fairly useless to me. What is odd is that other file types have previews. Just no media files. Also their directions on how to connect to Box.net are wrong. Even support gave me the wrong directions. I finally figured it out by my lonesome. I think Ill try file browser.

Overall its pretty solid, and works pretty well (particularly for AFP shares). Two bugs. The first is just cosmetic: the text in the download window appears to have a second copy offset by a pixel or three, making text look blurry. The second is worse: everything in my Downloads folder is gone (including the folder itself). It happened after I mistakenly tapped the Photos shortcut and got an error about Location Services being off (sidebar: why does Location Services confer access to the photo library?). Not sure if the two were related, but it felt that way. Data loss is a bad thing. Bad, bad, bad. Losing data makes me mad. Mad, mad, mad. Realizing an otherwise good app can cause this kind of data loss makes me sad. Sad, sad, sad.

I am able to access all my files on my external HD connected to my AirPort Extreme, as well as my shared folders on my Mac. I also tried to stream movies…able to play mp4 format. ( must be a format that the ipad can decode). Tech support responded to my question in less than 15 min. Ipad 3 running ios 6

I know you have several other apps, but please finish updating this app to the iPhone 5 so I can use the full screen...

Great app !!!! Could use update for iOS 6..

Great for accessing files from a NAS. Needs retina iPad support and fast app switching support

I love this app. Best SFTP app available.

Keep the updates coming and you wont have any disappointed customers!

This has got to be one of the best Apps I have ever downloaded, work as advertised and the techs are fast to respond and help with any problems. I am completely satisfied with this app. Larry

Needs open with option (very crucial for ftp). Ability to save playlist, show image thumbnails, and edit key tag/ meta tag for files but that would be pushing it.

The UI display gets corrupted simply by navigating screens. No way that I can find to import an ssh key for use with sftp.

Enjoying the app - works as described. There is a bug in the iPhone version that causes the menu display to be semi-transparent, so that after opening/closing a menu item, the opened page is still visible through the menu, creating a visual mess of text and graphics. Rotating the iPhone to landscape and back to portrait resets the transparency bug. Also, on the iPad, in column-view, previously opened columns remain visible and appear between the column displayed when a second folder is selected. Sound confusing? It is. I really hope the developer doesnt abandon this app like they did with EZ Share. Please fix this app.

The sheer number of connection options make this app a must-have for power users (WebDAV, Dropbox, etc). I personally use Apple File Protocol and SFTP on a regular basis to effortlessly connect to my computers wirelessly. While Ive been using this app successfully on my iPhone 5, the only factor keeping this app from a five star rating is the lack of native screen support on the iPhone 5. Still a fantastic app with functionality that blows the competition away.

When browsing a computer, hitting the button to go back to the overall computer list overlays that list on whatever screen you were just looking at. The only way to cleat it is to bring up help or one of the other settings screens and then exit it. It also has no log out button on AFP shares, and the "save password" toggle isnt respected when turned off. Other than that, the app works pretty well.

This app supports everything : FTP, SFTP, SMB, AFP, WebDav etc. And allows you to stream music and video from any of those protocols. Only suggestions would be to allow to select a Path for FTP server type, and more audio streaming support (currently just mp3). I would really like to see ogg vorbis and aac stream support, or allow to stream to another app. This is the only app in its class in my opinion.

There just flat out needs to be trial versions of apps because of buggy crap like this. Removed it from my phone 10 minutes after downloading. Interface graphics are screwed up, and AFP performance is dead slow. Save your money.

I just downloaded the app to my iPhone and it automatically detected, saved and displayed my NAS and computer from my WiFi. Then I just tapped the NAS icon, selected a video, and it started playing immediately. Exactly what I was looking for and so easy. Just great - cant wait to show my freinds. P.S. I had just wasted about 1.5 hours trying to get some free apps working.

It appears functional but is buggy as hell. The UI is all flash and not usable. Would not recommend.
