Not worth my time or energy even though I got this app for free through App Of The Day, it defeats it own purpose of being a "Local Cloud" when app is unable to stream and/or download files from PC-Server (Windows 10) to Android-device. Pros: N/A Cons: - Forces username/password instead of giving choice for it. - Cannot stream MP4 or MKV. - It gives error message about "Unable to connect to server" after unchecking Stream-option in Android Settings. - Nothing happens when clicking on file to download to Android-device. - Server on PC with Windows 10 cannot share more than one folder. - Crashes on start after reboot of Android-device.
