File Hub Pro by imoreapps

I have downloaded just about every file manager available for my iPad and iPhone and this is the only one I find myself consistently using. Not only is the UI easy on the eyes, it's also not filled up with too much crap you don't need. This app does everything I could ask of it. Between the cloud support, the ability to uncompress just about every compression type, sorting by almost all attributes, ability to read files including PDF in app with TOC, bookmarking, deep text searching in the PDF with highlighting. You can see photos as well as import photos/gifs/videos from photo roll (more on this in a second) and export photos to camera roll, create voice memos, creation of different types of docs, watch videos and it supports 40+ different types of docs. Ok, the photos. I've been searching for a way to clean up my camera roll. I've tried app after app supposedly designed for this. Then I tried File Hub. I imported album after album and not only did it find duplicates, it was fast as hell. I can now transfer those photos to my PC or cloud with confidence and free up storage on my iPad and iPhone. This is seriously the best!!

I owned this app for several years and used it mostly for wireless download of a few audio & video files for playback during long commutes. Recently, I got the idea to drag a bunch of music subfolders into the app and transmit to my best bluetooth speaker. This combination is amazing and worth the extra effort to manage the subfolders via iTunes usb. Thank You to the program author(s) !!

I’ve updated Windows 10 Pro to latest, and the app is also updated to latest. When I connect to SMB on my Win 10 machine, it worked the first time, but subsequent times, it gave me “invalid arguments” error. I tried clearing cache in this app, and it didn’t help. Not sure if it’s Win 10 issue or not, but I was able to connect to the SMB on the PC. Aside from the SMB issue, I really love this app. The video player controls are also very phone factor friendly; it lets you control most things you need with one finger gestures. Kudos to the developers! Update: I am logged into my Live account on my Windows 10. That somehow caused SMB to be more secure. Searching online showed that if I set “AllowInsecureGuestAuth” registry key, I can make it less secure again, so older clients can still connect. It still means FileHub doesn’t properly support the more secured version of the protocol. But at least there is a workaround now. Thanks.

In previous versions of IOS, Apple would not let me transfer certain types of files using the types in itunes. Found this app an ideal solution to get all types of files onto iphone & ipad. File transfer via wireless is very convenient. Love having files in one file tree. The only problem I have had with this app, is that dragging a file into the "upload" area in my Mac's browser, often fails with the symptom that video reverses/flickers in the upload area. In these cases, I have to click the Upload button and then search for the file in the file selection tool which comes up.

I have some of my audio books loaded on this app also. While it plays it well - the only issue I have is when I have the audio book playing while using a GPS app (like waze). Whenever a voice update occurs from the GPS app, the audio from File Hub still continues playing in the background instead of pausing. This causes me to miss out on some audio as it gets overlapped by the GPS audio. It would be nice if File Hub pauses the audio whenever it detects the GPS voice over - kinda like when you get a phone call. Audible already does this well. Would like an option to have this feature to make this a perfect 5-star app.
