Upon extensive testing, I can definitely (and obviously) say that it works. Still got plenty of room for improvement like adding the ability to stream without the help of other external apps. Slight speed improvement as well if possible (better buffering?) Other than that it works perfectly for basic accessing of files and the usual stuff (copy/cut+paste). I was able to transfer 5gigs of various files without problem.
When I put in the information to access files shared via SMB, it just crashes ("Uh oh, a weird thing just happened.") The funny thing is that I can access the SMB share fine from Windows, but all of the Android apps seem to be incapable of doing so.
File search doesn't work. Neither does SMB plugin. Those who gave this 5 stars have no brain. Worthless eye candy.
Found it to be a great app but browsing shared folders on a local win 8 pro pc was veeeery slow. FX browser is a lot faster proving the network and pc are fine. Please fix
Don't know what the people giving 1* are doing, as this works great. 1. Share folders on PC. 2. Scan Network. 3. Edit connection and enter credentials. 4. Connect and enjoy. The plugin works fine, don't blame the app for your lack of networking knowledge.
Used to work well on SMB 1 shares, but can not connect to modern SMB 2 Shares
Anyone giving this below 5 Stars, had no business installing it. Call your IT and pay him 200 hr to do it for ya.
Connection to WD Live stop working after last update.
Might be an issue with Android 7, I am on Nexus 5x
Not explained. Says it installed but I cannot see how to run this app. Tried browsing to an existing smb share and thought I may be prompted to stream when I selected the file. But nothing. Will keep searching for an app coz this is not the answer to what I need.
Slow, video streaming doesn't work, even with smallest of files. Other than that, it's the best file explorer for Android I've ever seen. But the broken streaming is a deal-breaker.
unfortunately icon does not show once installed on Asus transformer prime
Old ver has popup ad issue, but new ver works great, have used for 2yrs now. $$$ Money Well Spent.
This is the first app that I've fond that works properly with smb on android.
Once I realised I needed Anteks File explorer to use this PLUGIN all is now good!
this plugin is a most for android devices (period)
Excellent job! Works as advertised and better.
Couldn't open app on my device.
Discovers remote NAS drive but won't connect to it. Other SMB apps do.
Excellent job! Works as advertised.
...does exactly what it says, easily and quickly.
Installs no icon and can't launch from market. Useless.
I need to open files from shared network
Windows shares accessible through estrong and astro return invalid user or bad password every time. Wanted to like this because it seems to have the best layout for tablets ...but it's useless to me without working smb.
Unlike Ghost Commander, this will not connect to a Windows share if the user name contains spaces. This needs to be fixed in order to be of any use.
Without a browse function this is not very useful. Archos FileManager does a much better job but only works on Archos devices. Oh for an equivalent.
I really like the double pane app - which I rate 5* - but I am unable to access my Windows folder from either my phone or my tablet. File Expert and ES file manager can both access the same shared drive
Ran into a pretty nasty bug. Contacted the developers and the update with the fix came out the same day. Talk about support! The app+plugin is great, should be included on all android devices!
didn't install
