Comments on LAN drive - SAMBA Server & Cli for Android

★★★★★ Good app. USB transfer on Android slow. Now with this I don't need usb transfer. And I can manage my files in Windows explorer easily.

★★★★★ A bit hit-and-miss in the early days of development, but works well know. Have used it with Oneplus and Galaxy s20 and various versions of Android. A touch unstable with Oneplus (combo of overly aggressive battery optimization & fussy network issues being the problem here), but no issues at all with Samsung. Very usable in both environments I've used. A great and much needed app. If looking for a smb server for your Android, then get this app and pay the dev for his excellent work.

★★★★★ Tried many other apps to connect to my samba network folder. LAN drive worked easily within a minute

★★☆☆☆ I am not able to connect from iOS Files app I don't want to download lan drive for iOS Please resolve this issue

★★☆☆☆ Server doesn't work, uses wrong ports for windows. Makes it the users' problem to figure out. Mate, that's your job. Waste of time

★★☆☆☆ Didn't do anything but disrupt my phone's/tablet functionality, and create distractions from important things I was trying work on. Stop my phone/Network of phone's tablet functionality and just to stop and ask for money all day and sit there and ask for money it did exactly what you need it to do disrupt for gain. And won't let u get out of the loop. Goodbye

★★☆☆☆ If this is a SAMBA server and client, then where is the source code? SAMBA is licensed GPLv3, so you must provide the source for your entire project if you're utilizing SAMBA in your project. The XDA page for this project says "LAN drive uses its own SMB1 & SMB2 implementation", which would suggest this is not SAMBA (a registered trademark of the SAMBA Team), but an SMB implementation. You are either violating copyright law, or using deceptive advertising (possibly unwittingly).

★★☆☆☆ Using WSL method on Windows 10. All files lists in mnt/land rive but why I try to open a file, a message comes "A device attached to the system is not functioning".
