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

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.

Adds network shares access to android, works well for transferring files to and from mobile to network devices and servers
★★★★★SpacedOut· Nov 17, 2018
This is the best scam ever IN a good way of course! It was smart of you to make you need to use this to mod my colony. Why diddnt I think of that
★☆☆☆☆Guido Boldini· Aug 31, 2021
Complete wast of time. Shows folders but does not show the files that are in them
★☆☆☆☆Nirmarea· Feb 27, 2019
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
