Pretty good

Was exactly what I needed to load all my PDF drawings onto and arrange them nicely into individual folders. However, there is no way to grab multiple files (that I could find) at 1 time and move them into a folder. You have to move each file individually. This definitely makes the arranging process take longer then needed, but this is still a good product overall.

Great App

I purchased this app a few days ago, and I am very impressed so far. Transferring files is fairly quick and easy through iTunes, and the transferred files actually reside on the iPad (unlike with the "cloud" services. It handles many more types of files than you can use through iCloud, as iCloud will only transfer files that are compatible with iWorks apps.

The directions on the developers website are somewhat sparse, but it's a pretty simple to use app. I contacted Customer Support via email with a few suggestions for future releases, and they emailed me back within a very short time.
The iTunes transfer method will only allow you to transfer files; not folders. Customer Support told me a trick of compressing the entire folder into a compressed file (zip, rar, etc.), then transfer the compressed file and uncompressed in on the iPad in the app. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like it can be a time saver on transferring large amounts of files and complete folders.
I highly recommend this app!

it should be urgently improved

I expected the fileviewer to organize all my documents into folders on my iPad; it does but unfortunately there is no way to just transfer a folder and subfolders in one move. But I have created my folders again and transferred the files. I can view everything but then of course I need to use a file and edit it..... Only way to do is by mailing it and it works by mailing it to myself and then from within mail open it with pages or numbers; however I thought I could also do that without having an internet connection by clicking on the attached file while the mail is still in the outbox.... no way!
I changed recently to apple and I am very very happy; I also dumped my laptop and will use only the iPad for business trips but why they make life so difficult?? Why can we not have our files in folders on the iPad and then open what we need and edit? You can do it in pages but there you can not make folder; imagine for example 10 GB of files all in one long list.... I hope solutions are around the corner
