Customer Reviews
Used to be a 5 star app, [and now it is again!!]
Great to see some functionality restored after a previous update. Air Sharing has been one of my go-to apps for years, especially for cloud storage and SSH. When it comes to filesystem manipulation across a variety of servers, Air Sharing in my opinion, is the app to beat.
On top of that, great support and communication from the devs makes this one of my best experiences on the App Store.
Buy it, and you'll be putting it on the first page of your home screen before you know it. I promise.
Great App but...
Brilliant application, love the cloud drive support!
Needs:
1. Offline storage of cloud drives (like box.net) to view files offline
2. At least rudimentary editing
3. Smart Art or graphs in MS Word do not display at all, fix this
Makes the iPad what it should be
This useful app turned the iPad into what I bought it for - an extension of my desktop. Effortlessly syncs files between windows 7 and iPad, keeping folder hierarchy. Transferred 2 GB in about 20 minutes. Also has option to open in PDFs in iBooks, where they're now visible with nifty report covers. Awesome app. Now I can work with important files on the go without cloud services.
