What a horribly unintuitive app. It does what you need it to do, at a basic level, however, I can barely see which photos I'm downloading to my phone, as the thumbnails are tiny. I can't find a setting to change this. Also, in my search to change the thumbnails, I changed the full screen setting. Now, I've lost the option to open any settings because the button has been cut out by the full screen zoom. What a ridiculous user interface, can't believe I had to pay for this.

App used to work until the last update. Now none of my drives will mount, and they were fine before the update. Do you developers NOT TEST so called "improvements" before you push them on us? This app is nothing short of amazing! No matter what file system is on the external drive, once connected to my android phone I can immediately move or copy files in either direction! Thank you for this great app!

It works just fine for reading and deleting files (more than my phones built in file manager can do) but with it forcing you to use Total Commander I can't find a way at all to copy files onto my USB, I can select a user defined location but it just does nothing when trying to select this plug-in within Total Commander, if I could copy files onto the USB then it would be a instant 5 stars.

Used to work. Paid the 10 dollars to get the full version. Doesn't work for the past 2 weeks on my S23 or A9 . Tried multiple USB drives with multiple adapters on both devices.

Sorry that I doubted if this app is really necessary in order to be able to view or manage the content of an external USB device. In fact, it's definitely necessary in order to be able to perform actions such as moving and renaming files.

(2019) Will not mount anything larger than 2TB. Not completely reliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just sits there. (2024) Used to work fine, made the update, now it doesn't work at all.

Reliable access to NTFS drives from phone. I travel with flash drives and adapters, including 4TB+ SSDs. It's not convenient to boot up the Windows laptop just to send a customer a file. I plug that puppy into my phone, browse & send. Also saves space on the phone's internal storage. The price for this app is well worth the incredible convenience. I have never had problems accessing any drive that I could access from a Windows PC. One of the single most useful apps on my phone, full stop.

Professionally developed app by company who specializes in this sort of thing. They have to pay licensing fees, plus development, so don't resent the reasonable, one time, app cost. Make sure to give permissions and mount and unmount drive. Highly recommend X-Plore FM. Have used with multiple devices and phones since my Note 4. Make sure cord quality is good and rotating HDs have power. USB connections are not always solid, so be wary of movement. Read no exFAT for TV so use NTFS with this. 👍
