Great app that works well. It would be nice to have a small (1x1) widget to switch the FTP server on and off. Ideally with different colours for the status. Reply: Thanks for your suggestion. I do use that, but it means I have to remember to swipe down (at least once) just to check its status. The advantage of a small widget is that the status can be seen quickly without any actions. It would also mean only one press would be required to switch the server on or off.

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

1. It has no recently-edited files section. 2. The text editor automatically closes without saving any changes if you switch apps; the currently edited text document doesn't show up in the Recent Apps list, so it actually closes the moment you try to multitask. 3. In the text editor: if you tap the bottom of a long text file, the keyboard obscures the text area instead of auto-scrolling to adjust for visibility of the caret. Everything else is great; it's basically an open-source alt to Fx.
