Adds network shares access to android, works well for transferring files to and from mobile to network devices and servers

What you all are saying about my colony is wrong this thing is made by ape apps but my only problem is I can't sign in
★★★★★Angelo “Gelo” Bautista· Oct 15, 2022
As with a lot of Ape Apps, Helios is simple, yet powerful.
★★★★★James Arthur· Dec 10, 2018
Awesome. It integrated my tablet with my home network and NAS so quicky, I thought I must be doing something wrong. I wish the rest of my system worked this smoothly.

A competent file manager that does what most do, however I dislike being strong armed into using it by ape aps's my colony game, I see no reason whatsoever that it couldn't perform the same functionality as my inbuilt file manager, I appreciate developers need to get paid and software needs advertising but tactics like those are no better than bundled crapware on pc, worse in fact, you at least aren't forced to use crapware

Complete wast of time. Shows folders but does not show the files that are in them

U guys force people to download this app through your game (my colony)... That's a bad thing to do.......why not make this app a better app instead and stop forcing downloads then see how your downloads will increase
