Does exactly what it says. Obviously you have to grant permissions for the different things you want to do. Simple UI, intuitive, easy to use. Works great on my Wear OS4 (Tic Watch Pro 5). You get 2 days free trial, then can pay yearly or lifetime

The issue is finally resolved, but the cross-store restore process is very confusing. It actually requires two steps: first, support must enable the cross-store restore on their side. Only after that do you have to submit a new “Restore Other Store” message from the app. If you send the message before support has enabled it, nothing happens. That is what caused the confusion for me, because after several failed requests I naturally stopped sending the same message again. The process works.

Thanks a lot developer, the price was somewhat pricey, but since Samsung is incompetent to add file transfer on their own your app is a lifesaver. God bless 😂

Is this app a hoax? I have purchased it in order to transfer a file to my phone, but it is still not working. Trying three days in a row to transfer file. Saying transfer received. But the received folder is empty. After purchasing is still the same behavior.

Some functionalities do not work properly, such as SMB/LAN access and USB dongle or SSD connectivity. When I tried to contact the developer for support, the response was disappointing and unhelpful. After encountering these issues, I requested a refund, but it was declined even though I had only used the service for a few days despite purchasing a one-year subscription. As a result, I stopped using the product and lost my money. Overall, it was a very frustrating experience, Not recommended!!

This and all an explorer variants crashes apps like Lidl and Malware bytes (won't let them run) when it is installed on phone. Fine if I remove an explorer again. Galaxy s23 ultra

Trust & Safety: The app requests a wide range of permissions typical for a feature-rich file manager, including storage (READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), network (INTERNET), foreground service, package usage stats, and special storage management. This supports offline WiFi transfers, cloud access, APK installation, and root-file operations across many device types, so users should review permissions and enable only what they trust.
