The design and user experience of this app are great, even on par with Files by Google. But, I got this app for the additional functionality of SMB (if I didn't need that, I'd just use Files by Google). The performance of SMB is atrocious. 19 seconds to transfer a 5mb file when two competitors (X-plore and Solid) both managed to transfer the file in about 2 seconds. On top of that, there are constant Java exceptions when transferring files. If these issues are fixed, I would love this app. Alas

Great app in every regard! I'd suggest adding a way to use the search bar while there are files selected, so that we can use "select all" to select files that match multiple queries. I think that might be better than asking for a custom multi select solution just for this app. Some rudimentary regex-like search such as wild cards (*) and excludes (-) would also be nice. There's MIT-licensed code in the nvim-telescope repo worth checking out before implementing search-related stuff yourself, btw.

really great overall, but the url of my ftp server keeps having its second one digit number change for no reason, i think you should be able to set a permanent url so that i dont have to keep deleting and making network location shortcuts on my laptop to account for the randomness of the url numbers. also please add google drive support.

That is your IP and your device IP address depends on your local network, which is beyond the control of this app. For Google Drive, I hope you can understand this is a personal side project provided for free, so you will need to find some other solutions before I have the time for adding it.
