User Reviews

Owlfiles is praised for strong network/NAS access, cross-platform compatibility, and solid cloud/storage features, with some reviewers calling it the best file manager. However, multiple reviews point to stability and data-integrity bugs, transfer/visibility issues with network shares, and integration limitations (Google Drive) or privacy concerns. The app shows powerful networking and cloud capabilities but needs fixes for data safety, transfer reliability, and some integrations.

Pros

Cross-platform support (Android and iOS) with easy access to files across platforms.
Strong network/NAS access and network drive compatibility (network folders, IP-based access).
Cloud storage integration with S3 and cloud-management capabilities.
Overall reliability and feature-rich design, with some reviewers noting it as a strong file manager choice.

Cons

Critical bugs causing data loss or file visibility problems (text edits can erase data; transferred files may not appear in the gallery).
Inconsistent transfer issues and NAS/VPN detection problems (shares can appear empty; FTP transfers unreliable).
Privacy/safety concerns raised by users (claims of spyware).
Google Drive integration lacks write-permission support.
Performance issues such as slow video playback and cloud sync.

I hate windows SMB, windows always gives some sort of credentials problem even if you do the same exact steps. Owlfile didn't solve the smb problem 100% but it did provide good work arounds
