## Review summary

Users praise the app for broad cross-location access, a strong multi-location file-management UI, and rich media handling. However, repeated concerns focus on a heavy paywall with mandatory subscriptions, limited free functionality, and performance/reliability issues (slow indexing, copy errors, and occasional connectivity problems). The top takeaways are a powerful, feature-rich tool marred by pricing transparency and some stability concerns.

### Pros

- Broad cross-location access (SMB/NAS, FTP, S3, cloud) and local/remote device support
- Dual-pane/tab-based UI enabling multi-location file transfers (copy/move, history, breadcrumb)
- Rich media handling with customizable thumbnails (thumbnail size, video thumbnails, video scrub)
- Reliable transfers across network storage and cloud services (e.g., Dropbox/Google Drive) and strong SMB/file-management capabilities
- Positive overall reputation as a top SMB/file-manager tool with broad feature scope

### Cons

- Mandatory subscription and paywall for most features; frequent complaints about no free trial and hidden costs
- Limited/free functionality: core actions like opening files or playing media require payment, with several reviews alleging misrepresentation
- Performance and indexing issues for large folders (slow processing, delayed thumbnail generation)
- Reliability and usability concerns in copying/moving (errors, inability to resume, subpar multi-item selection)
- Connectivity/compatibility issues (e.g., FTP login failures) and overall reliability complaints
