Just provides access to shares. Any good file manager does that. Claims you can mount shares. A mounted or mapped share appears like a drive or folder to the OS. Maybe Google devs should take networking 101 again.

Doesnt work at all claiming access errors, so cannot really appreciate. Other samba clients do work nicely so sounds like a app issue

Appreciate the support but not very practical right now. Doesn't show history of mount points which is a problem for devices where the manufacturer has completely hidden the "Downloads" folder from the app drawer.

Cannot get past the "Share path is incorrectly formatted," even though I've entered everything I can think of for the server. Unclear and confusing.

If u manage to set it up properly it works like expected, but it is a struggle to make it work without documentation. Tested with TitaniumBackup and works fine!

Clunky buts works with smb:// prefix and a /folder suffix. Otherwise "Failed to mount share." Or "share path is incorrectly formatted."
