3 ★ This app works wonderful. Would rate 5 stars if it would access the external sd card on my s4 active. Edit: Had to knock it down a star due to having to manually enter the share address after Mavericks. Will raise to 5 star once this is resolved.
5 ★ After finding out I couldn't mount my HTC One M8's external SD card directly to my Mac through USB, I've been looking for a workaround. Droid NAS is the simplest WiFi solution I've found to transfer my files. Long press the file list and you can add your SD to the list, then you're ready to go. Works great, and its free. What more could you want?
5 ★ Tnx for this very useful app! You could stress out more how to add an external SD to the list of shares, as many users seem to have missed that information. (Pre-Mavericks MacOS..)
5 ★ This works as stated and it is super easy to setup. I highly recommend this for Mac users who have an Android device like myself. I love how you setup different profiles for what to share on different networks. Brilliant! File transfers to my Mac has never been easier now. So simple and well designed.
5 ★ Tried about 5 different programs to get my HTC one to show up on Finder. I about gave up and was ready to return the phone since I regularly view and edit my files on my phone and want them synced to my mac. I though it did not work at first but then I realized I had my "shared" files hidden in Finder. Made them visible and...Perfect!
3 ★ When trying to connect under os 10.10 Yosemity I get the error that my server version is not supported. Please update the app and charge me for it. I love the idea. If it worked as advertized I would pay money for it and upgrade my rating to 5 stars.
4 ★ I love this app, although I had to read to figure out how to add custom locations (should just add a button). My only qualm is that it does not have the ability to automatically start the server when the device restarts. Add this one feature and I'll give you 5 stars!!!
1 ★ Tried with mac running Yosemite and LG G4 . Get connection failed error. Tried work around but had to manually reconnect everytime I want to access phone. Wouldn't let me copy files from mac to phone (file in use error). Will stick with USB connection for time being.
1 ★ I downloaded it, then tapped start server, and the file showed up on my mac book pro as descibed. So far so good right. But then I clicked on the tab in finder and the only thing I see in the window is connection failed. I tried several times with the same result. I had high hopes for this one, but no dice.
4 ★ Thanks for this program, it's a nice, simple approach, and works pretty well. The design is also well done & clean. If you can get the Mavericks support working better, I'll give it 5 stars! (Under Mavericks you have to use a wonky method to connect, instead of just clicking the icon that appears on the Mac. Dev mentioned this in the app description, thanks for the workaround.) *** it took me a while to figure out how to configure the External SD Card to share on my Galaxy S3, but now that I've got that working, I'm a happy camper *** Thanks for your work!
1 ★ Not working properly on galaxy note 4 with android 6.0.1. No luck connecting from iMac running El Capitan, using Finder. Some luck connecting via cmd+K but need to put share name in the path. Trying to transfer over 4 gb file to phone's internal memory brings "file too big for filesystem" (where did that come from?). Bottomline: next to useless on current Android 6 and current mac (El Capitan). Note to developers: time to get back to the drawing tables.
3 ★ I have used it before seamlessly, now when I attempt to use it in requires a USERNAME and PASSWORD. Which ultimately makes it useless. If we can get a workaround for this I would definitely change that rating. Update: After reading carefully in the WHAT NEW section I saw the workaround. I used it and signed in under GUEST and it works. I would love to gain access to my External SD Card as well. Was upgraded from 1 star to 3, with the External SD Card Workaround it will be a 5 Start rating.
1 ★ It just doesn't work. I see my phone in Finder. I double click on the directory in Finder and get a "Connection failed" message. I've tried connecting by using smb:// as well. Even worse, there doesn't seem to be any help available. The web page for the product basically just says "it's really easy," which it isn't.
1 ★ Just tried to connect several times, and I get, "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem." I've tried browsing, connecting directly instead of browsing, including with the Maverick workaround, using a password, not using a password, disabling "wake for network access", and restarting the computer. If there is anything that works, I would appreciate knowing. Samsung Galaxy S4, SCH-I545 Android 4.4.2 Mac OSX Yosemite, 10.10.2
2 ★ This application will be great once I can connect to it with my Macbook pro. I tried several networks and settings and there's a problem connecting to it with Mavericks. I hope you get this going as it looks like it could be a real handy app.
