Does not play well with iOS files app. Uploading to and from Qfile directly from apps works better. But would be useful to have more functionality in iOS file app Currently very limited.
Can not easily copy or move files to or from other storage options in files
Very basic integration with the iOS Files app
I installed Qfile on my iPhone and it appeared in the Apple Files app. Wonderful.
But when I tap on Qfile to acces my files, it is read only. There is no way to select the files or folders and copy or move them into other folders of the Files app. I wasn’t expecting full manipulation as we would get in the Qfiles app itself. But other apps that integrate into Files (like Google Drive, one Drive etc) give you at least basic copy / paste / move functionality.
Without that it’s useless. And almost completely walled off from any other app on my phone.
I can’t see any ability in Qfile to transfer to Files, which would be fine of course.
Login issues
Can’t login to my nas anymore via Qfile.
All other apps working fine apart from this one.
Not a good upgrade
Upgraded from the previous version and it wiped all my saved qnaps :(
Also will not run on a iPhone 5s with the latest iOS, just crashes...
Not a well thought out release of the product at all!
