User reviews

ShiftEdit is appreciated for its FTP/SFTP support, usefulness on Chromebooks, and responsive developers. However, many users find the extension misleading due to its paywall after a trial, difficulties uninstalling it from Google Drive, limited FTP upload capabilities, and slow performance. The free version is discontinued, which frustrates users expecting a no-cost option. Overall, it suits quick remote edits but has usability and pricing concerns reported by multiple users.

Pros

Supports FTP/SFTP connections for remote editing
Works well for quick edits on Chromebooks when standalone apps aren't available
Developer is responsive and helpful
Integration with Google Drive works to some extent
Provides a free trial period

Cons

Requires payment after trial, with no free version, which users find misleading
Difficult or impossible to uninstall or remove from Google Drive according to multiple users
Files cannot be uploaded directly to FTP, limiting functionality
Takes a long time to launch with a poor user interface
Some users complain about it hijacking file associations and requesting personal information

i have not even used it yet and there is bad reviews

I actually have not used this yet, but it seems pretty solid, I am setting it up at the moment, I got it to work using my own ftp, but my goal is to use it for school projects and thats on this email, and I don't want my classmates having access to my FTP so I have to set it up for gmail, I don't know why all of you are so mad, I will judge if its worth paying for later, but for even a trial period its free and thats more than enough.
