Owlfiles - File Manager

If your looking for an app to be able to view SMB files or offload files onto a NAS or something like that. It’s great in that sense! Im able to offload pictures and videos from my phone at a slow speed but it gets the job done. I can add folders, drag and drop files into folders and etc. The problem is video playback. If a file is VERY compressed it will play the video no problem. But if the video is long and not very compressed or is 4K 60 (even 1080p 60) this app just struggles to play it. Before anyone says it’s my server or my network it’s not. This app maxes out at 1Mbps when receiving information. I watched the server statistics when using this app, to troubleshoot and it was only sending out again, 1Mbps. Meaning this app is limiting its intake. When watching those same videos on a computer, they run flawlessly. It’s only this app I have the issue on. However, photo viewing and music playing with this app does work great, no problems at all. But that would be expected as there smaller file sizes. Overall this is a very good app and does what I mainly need it to do. Offload videos and photos from my phone. I just wish the playback for videos was better. Again that totally seems fixable on the developers end.

I have Synology NAS and I wanted an app that could display thumbnails and full pictures on both the NAS using my own directory structure as well as on my IPAD. I tried at least six different apps and none of them filled the bill. I also have a lot of music stored on the NAS and I can quickly search my music to get anything in the title. I had also always had the artist in the title so I can quickly search for the artist. The app plays the music or will automatically stream pictures to my IPAD or television through my IPAD. I truly think I have found a great app. Thank you developer.

Very good and simple app to use. Easy to navigate to save my files from other apps. The only issue I have with the app is playing audio file. When you open an audio file to play, the app doubles the time. For example, if the audio is 5 mins, when you open it, the app will present it as 10 mins and when the 5 mins is reached on the play mode, the audio stops and runs the other 5 additional mins with no sound, later before it changes to the next file. You could imagine what happens a 50mins, 1hr, 1:30hrs file; it would double up the time as 1:40mins, 2hrs, 3hrs respectively. It really distorts putting the play on an automatic changing of audio. I would be glad if this could be worked on asap. Thank you.
