Phone Drive App Reviews

Coming from an Android to an iPhone, I’d have expected this app to be built into the iOS. Thanks to this team, I can save a file from any source onto my phone, without saving it to the cloud, then redistribute it to any destination. Simply enabled through the other apps looking for it; MMS, eMail, video-conference file-sharing, you name it, this hooks into the iOS services for file attachments and away I go. Thanks again.

Too dumb to figure out how to use it. Instructions are opaque. Requires separate purchase for each device. Or at least it asks me to buy it again for iPad and iPhone.

If you have an iPhone this app is a must have if you want to be able to organize, access or drop files on to your phone in any kinda of productive way, in short I’ve found this to be the most useful of all the apps I have. It does everything it says, although I have noticed that it doesn’t work with extremely large files, I tried to drag and drop 35 gig file the other day and it seems that is just to big, perhaps they could work on that to improve it further.

This app used to work with mirroring until suddenly it decided not to support it anymore. Used to like it until this change, making it no longer as useful. Also on iPad, it used to support picture zooming. Not anymore.

It is a nice tool for those who frequently transfer files or audio books between iDevice and other sources. I always use Phone Drive to save PDFs to from web browser.

Strange app: - design from os 8-9. - in paid app advertising developer. I don’t want see “check my apps” anywhere. - troubles with posting pictures in Instagram. I can’t post picture in story, no option.

App no longer working on imports. No videos at all and pictures are just empty files with 0 bytes.

Whyy pdf files will not load please fix it Everything works fine i can see pdf files open but they will not load the file , please fix pdf issue once fixed ill give 5 star

Unless you like wasting money

I wish I could auto transfer files from phone to iCloud. I thought the sync feature would work for files on between phone and cloud. My phone is my computer. Do people really use a computer anymore? 🤔

I've been using the phone drive app for while & it's been working great until today. I was listening to music & out of no where I was thrown out. Now every time I try to open app it crashes before it opens. WHY!!! PLEASE FIX ASAP. My star rating was 5 star but now it's a 1 star.

Purchased this app so I could store from my online drive to my phone, but I wasn’t able to transfer any files within folders. Would not recommend.

I would give this app a 5 star rating if it included an option to allow nearby sharing across different types of devices (brands/companies). For example, allowing the transferring of data from an iPhone to a Samsung phone. Right now this application only allows the information to be shared to similar types of phones from the same company. I hope you consider adding this function to your app. Thanks!

I have used this app reliably for the last four years. I considered it one of the best out there. The latest update, which completely changed the audio player has a bug where it “clips” playback of MP3 files toward the the end of the file and starts over. I have been in contact with the developer, and even took time to send them the files that were causing the problems per their request. I have since not heard anything back from them and the bug is still there. I am sad to leave this review of this once AWESOME and STABLE app. But the latest version is just not right. I will GLADLY upgrade this review of this app if they will just repair and support it. Please fix! Thank you.

I have the paid app but it take several attempts before it connects to my iPad (2018). It a shame because when connection is made, file transfers are flawless.

In app purchase required

This is one of the most useful apps I have however one thing would make it better. When WiFi hotspot is enabled let the app recognize this as a WiFi connection to allow connections. It only works about half the time and the other half a message saying that it’s not on a WiFi network shows up even though it is on a network

Very handy!

I purchased this app awhile ago to connect to Dropbox. The Dev simply took it away. On my old device the app still has Dropbox support.

💯

Does everything well. Really like that I can paste something and save it. Only thing that would be nice is a decoy password. Now if you made a calculator version then I would give 7 stars.

This doesn’t work. None of my iOS devices connected and it didn’t connect via IP address or ftp. This is the first app I ever purchased and now I’ve lost my virginity for nothing.

So far I’m able to see Google Drive, and Dropbox file sharing. I also added iCloud Drive, but when I access the folder it’s empty. iCloud Drive has over 50gb of photos and videos. Any recommendations as to solve this issue

one of the best

Can’t open Dropbox without crashing. Doesn’t show all iCloud files.

Only plays one song at a time. I expect to pay for that.

Recent update wiped out all of my stored files

An easy way to transfer files between computer and iPhone.

1 star review for every update until the annoying pop-up "special offer" is removed. I paid for this app. I don't need ads. Remove it now.

This app is fantastic for transferring files from my phone to a computer and vice versa. You could just use Google Docs, but that is sooooooooo much slower. This app is basically instant. Also, it keeps all of your videos saved so you can watch them on the app while being offline

I just start using it and would like to request from you to enable me to download from the browser onto my PC a file format *.fdx I am getting this message, “This XML file does not appear to have any style formation association...... “ Also, when refreshing the browser, it errors out fast, and I then need to retype the local IP address. I find I am retyping it often between up and down loads. THANKS. Sure I will update my review.

I can’t seem to find the ‘open in’ function on the app. This lets me open the files I transferred to the app I want it to open in. Was this function removed or is this a glitch? I have the Phone Drive Pro version. Because of this, the files i transfer to my device using phone drive are basically stuck in the Phone Drive app only, making the app useless.

Phone Drive is the number 1 app on my phone but I am a bit annoyed of the “PRO” thing on the top of the icon. If you buy pro there shouldn’t be anything on the logo and if you have the light version there should be a label “LIGHT” on the top. Will change my review after the logo is adjusted.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a “lite” tag on the lite version and leave the pro version’s app icon looking simple and beautiful like it was before? Putting a “pro” tag on the app icon just kinda ruins the look. Thank you.

Excellent!!!!

Don’t ever go anywhere when you need all-in-one app to manage your files, unzip,...etc This app is really useful. Thank you for such a great app

Sometimes photo files will freeze up on my iPod Touch, but I've not had any issues on my iPad Mini. I recommend the app.

It’s dependable and easy to navigate, and I don’t know what I’d do without it!

I can’t rename, and even share a file. Its file transfer through wifi doesn’t work either.

Love it. I open the app, Open the folder, open the file and adjust the volume. It Is that quick. I listen to audio instructional files and found Phone Drive to be the easiest and most simple to use and operate. My wife used a different one and would call me at work telling me she had problems. When she started using Phone Drive, I quit getting phone calls at work. I recommended it to the IT manager at work and he started using it. I have several friends that are using it. It is EASY and SIMPLE and QUICK. What more do you want.

Very useful app

Great app!!!

Forget iTunes!! This app is just simply AMAZING, and it solved my problem! My problem: The good news...I just got a new iPad Pro. The bad news....It is not compatible with my PC's last/latest iTunes version for Windows XP (I know, I know… But, I LIKE Windows XP, I KNOW Windows XP, and I don’t want to pay Microsoft any more money. I am using the iPad more than the PC, anyway.) So, back to the good news…I find PHONE DRIVE. This app is unbelievably simple to use and IT WORKS! Fire up your iDevice, make sure it’s on the same wireless network as your PC, identify the IP address of your iDevice (which the app will do for you), open the browser on your PC (for me, Firefox), type in the IP address for your iDevice in the location bar, hit "Enter", and viola!! Your PC and iDevice are connected…and, with no wires!! Now, you can open up Windows Explorer on your PC, and start dragging and dropping files into the "Drop Files Here" box on your PC's screen. They will immediately transfer to your iDevice! Amazingly simple! The help file that comes with the app suggests another step that calls for going into “My Network Places”. I did not do that, and I don’t see the need for it, since, what I described above was easy, and it works for me. Music files can be played within the app, and they can be grouped in folders or playlists. Folders can also be created for photos, which can be viewed individually or in a slideshow. At this point, I should mention my only gripe: The slideshow plays a little fast. An extra two or three seconds for each picture would be nice. Uploading to your PC is just as simple. Select the file you want to send to your PC, hit the “send to" icon on your iDevice and you should find PHONE DRIVE as one of the options. Select it, and a copy of the file will be sent to the app. Then, using the browser on your PC screen, you can select it, and hit “Download“. PHONE DRIVE will automatically zip your file(s) into a file called PHONE DRIVE ZIP and save it on your hard drive. Even when I used iTunes with my old iPad, I always thought it was clunky. I find PHONE DRIVE to be a perfect example of the axiom KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)! To the developer: Don’t mess with perfection… Unless you want to add a couple of seconds to the slideshow!

I love this app. It's been a life saver since my iPhone 4s was cat swiped off the table with the iPhone 5 coming on the market. With phonedrive you can transfer files between any web enabled device that supports file transfer. In many occasions I have moved or sent data to friends who just will wait a second to setup. It's a win!

After iOS update, I can not down load the photo to library. Please update the APP.

I just want to say thank you for the great app 😍♥️

This application is the most powerful and most useful file manager I have ever seen in an iOS device. Download and enjoy freedom

It’s a convenient app to have in my set. Whenever I can’t directly open a document from one app into another, I send it here because it is compatible with most other apps for dropping documents.

If the text file contains Korean characters, it can not be saved. And I can not read a text file with Korean characters in the contents.

Works well and makes my life run more smoothly!

What a great file app that I can put most anything on including large work files! What’s not to like!

Functionality on iPhone looks great. But when I try to actually do the file transfer, it seems to make the attempt and creates a zero byte file, but actual transfer never occurs. It then asks if I want to copy over an existing file (this is without me reinitializing) and gives an error. This is using the map network drive method. Using the browser method, it reads the directory on the iPhone, but dropping files in does nothing. I would gladly give this a higher rating if it worked.

Thats it, its all in the title

http error when Rocketcast app is open

I am so glad that I purchased this app. I used to have a hard time downloading and moving my files from the clouds to either my iPhone, iPad. With this app, I am able to do it in a breeze. I am also able to share the files through sinking between iPhone and iPad. Suggestions: I wish you could do the sinking automatically as in the clouds instead of manually sinking between the devices using the same Wi-Fi Thanks guys and I am a believer. Keep up the GREAT work and this great app. Many thanks Dr. B Musleh Ph.D.

I've been using Phone Drive for several years now, nothing can replace this app. It is in the God tier of apps indefinitely. However, I'm a little disappointed that I purchased the full version of Phone Drive but have to pay again to unlock cloud services. Still they deserve all the money they make, 10/10 developer. I would like to see this on Android, I would have no problem buying it again for the other platform.

Bought this ages ago when i was on 3gs. Yeah way back. Its the app i used most over the years. I hate itunes, i place all my music, videos and Docs on this app. Easy to access the app with wifi and easy to export everything when its time for upgrade to a new iphone or factory reset. Because of this app i stayed with iphone and didn’t switch to android. I use it on daily bases. Would love the feature to download vids from browser to drive, also feature to hide folders with access code. That would be amazing

There is no lacing inside the software Share no apps

Esta es una de las más útiles aplicaciones que han creado, existen tres detalles que se debe considerar y por eso no le doy cinco estrellas. 1. En el navegador no se puede abrir ventanas secundarias. 2. Hay que añadir un bloqueador de publicidad ya que la publicidad es molesta y no deja ir al link de descarga. 3. No se puede copiar ni pegar texto, esto es muy importante para poder copiar los link de algunas página web. Gracias por crear esta app es excelente.

Great app

I use it for downloading, playing files, and transferring. One request: I would like to have the option to show or hide nested folders. My navigation pane is pretty long.

Been using Phone Drive since it’s inception and each iteration improves and improves. An essential app for file storage and sharing.

This a great music app that I use regularly.

One of the most useful applications for someone who wants to use their iPhone to hold all of their files, media and everything else, and then transfer it off wherever. You can even link it up to popular cloud services and send files between your device and their storage. It's easy and intuitive, and as of today has a nicer UI. It could really use the addition of better recognition when playing audio for iOS's interface, at least in terms of showing the correct time information. It de-syncs occasionally.

No documentation that I can find in the app. I unzipped some images with it and they do not appear in the app, no link to them, they're not I'm My Photos. Waste of time. Deleted it.

Title says it all.

My musics in downloads folder disappeared suddenly 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 How can i get those songs back tell me please 😭😭😭

I love this app. Best way to treat my phone like a hard drive/music player but it constantly quits when in connect mode. Can’t keep a connection. Pretty frustrating.
