I am impressed it shares both my internal and external storage on my GTKing (Android 9 PIE) android box. However, I was getting 700KBs to 800KBs on the free version so I bought the unlocked version because it said I could get 100+ times faster. I am now getting 32MBs to 35MBs when your claim suggested I could get 70MBs to 80MBs. I also have sambadroid and they consistently transfer at 90MBs to 105MBs. This is on a Gigabit Ethernet network. Please fix this so I can get the faster speeds you claimed. Also, is there an advantage to running it as a background service? When I have that turned on a white box appears at the top of my screen and does not go away. If this is a bug please fix it. Thanks. I was hoping it would but sadly no discernible change. Please keep working on it! Thanks. I am on a win8.1 windows comp and mostly I am copying from that comp over to the Beelink GTKing. I am not using any port forwarding/director apps. And yes the box is rooted using PIE (Android 9.0) Can you open some kind of ticket so we can keep working on this? Thanks I can't open a ticket (your site says support is down) and now on my gtking box this app just opens and closes. I have tried uninstalling it, then reinstalling it and it keeps crashing. Please tell me you can fix this? Thanks.

Ok thxs, what client do you use and in which way you use it (copying TO box, or copying FROM box) ? And is the box rooted or you use port redirector ?

Purchased this on two devices to speed up the transfer. I needed to recover about 2000 files off a tablet with a broken USB which was taking longer than the remaining battery life. Unfortunately a waste of money. The tablet has two users, one of them being a restricted account with the data I needed. Seeing as it's an in app purchase, only the non restricted user could install and pay for it. Wound up compressing the files with rar, and transferred the one large file at the restricted speed.

Simple and easy to setup and make it work!!! A little note: may need to share top root of device that stored 'shared sub folders' or else you need to re-pickup shared folder everytime after restart the device. After use for a while, it's seem smb service will be error when try to access folder that contains many files (18 still ok, 38 become invalid smb).
