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.

Why does this install the application in the most hidden parts of my computer (where other cloud apps DO NOT) and then get flagged by 3 different antivirus programs set on low security (when no other cloud apps have)??

Can't open more than 5 items per folder. If you want a good local cloud solution, go get SSHelper by Paul Lutus. He's an enlightened programmer that uses FLOSS, and doesn't cripple his apps.

Update: Never could figure out how to make it run. Did PC download but phone never would show where to insert the promo code. Red flags went up in the security area so I just deleted it all. UPDATE... In all fairness, some of the users have figured it out so I go from 1 to 3 stars. I guess I am too stupid to figure it out. Sounds cool but if I can't get it, it can't get it. Good luck.

This is a good idea but this doesn't recognize media files like mkv. Also streaming media files would be a good feature rather than trying to open them which seems to take a lot of time!!

Must be iPhone users leaving bad comments. Don't leave bad reviews just because you may not know how to set it up. Ask for help and/or read faq.

Easy to use and great GUI but I'm only able to play 1 MP3 or JPEG at the time from within the app. No settings to sync with the local cloud.
