Storage Made Easy File Fabric Reviews

Just complicated and ugly. Looks like it’s made for first iPhone.

I'm terribly disappointed by the poorly-designed interface. Text? Is this a throwback to MS-DOS days? Consider this: yes, you can access your cloud service but the usefulness stops right there. If you have a huge photo collection, you need to view each photo one by one to find out which one you need. No thumbnail previews. For instance, if you have a Skydrive account with a huge photo collection, you are better off accessing your photos from a regular desktop with a regular browser because you see all of the thumbnails in one sweep on your screen, not a darn listing of names of your photos. That's the catch, StorageMadeEasyFileFabric is described by the vendor as capable of viewing files, but who wants to view hundreds of photo files one by one because there are no thumbnail previews?

Another gotcha: uploading photos from your iPad album is darn cumbersome. Can you upload batches of photos? Hell, no!!! You are back to a one by one, time-consuming process.

StorageMadeEasyFileFabric sounded promising, but lamentably implemented. Caveat emptor. Buyer beware. Not even worth $3.99 at all.

App doesn’t work since iOS 11.

StorageMadeEasyFileFabric is a must have if you want to easily manage and have functionality between up to 3 cloud apps. Sme a very advanced app. So far I've been able to download zip files from my email, un-zip (or in sme terminology unarchive) and send to any of my cloud accounts. I can transfer files between clouds from StorageMadeEasyFileFabric either by cloud copy or cloud cut, the later of which will move the file. There's definitely a learning curve for the advanced features, but the ones I described are easy learn. SME has bar non the best tech support I've ever dealt with. On three occasions I needed help to learn the functions, and within 30 minutes tech support had my problem resolved. P.S. not being tech savvy the 3 problems were on my end. By far this is one of the best apps I've purchased. The functionality it provides the Pages App alone makes SME worth every penny.

Well, aren't I the fool... I wrote a scathing review when I couldn't get StorageMadeEasyFileFabric to let me set up my Skydrive acct with paying more for a separate package. I emailed tech support last nite and on waking this morning found a very nice email explaining I had signed up for the wrong account type. Seems at registration of StorageMadeEasyFileFabric the "free package" refers to the free SME storage package. You can actually select that line and scroll down to the Skydrive and Google Docs package, which is also free. Who knew? Apparently everyone else! My bad. They are switching my package to the right one for me.

When I first downloaded StorageMadeEasyFileFabric, my account was pre-locked to SME's free cloud service. I started out annoyed, since I had downloaded it to have access to my existing Live Mesh account. But as soon as I complained to the help system I was directed to contact customer support to change this. I recieved a cordial response very quickly, and was given two free slots for my own cloud accounts, as advertised.

With that detail sorted out, I am now very happy with this service. It is the only app I have found that really works well with Live Mesh, has excellent built in preview capabilities, and, unlike some apps, is friendly about opening files in any app that registers for the filetype.

I have had no stability or other issues with the program and have no complaints about which features it includes.

The missing star is for the initial inconvenience, even though I understand the commercial reasons for doing it that way. It would be more convenient for new users if StorageMadeEasyFileFabric description or starting page at registration mentioned the extra step, so that new users would not waste time trying to configure their account before contacting cs. After that, great app.

I bought StorageMadeEasyFileFabric primarily so that I can access the CloudDAV features SME offers. Purchasing this offers a user access to CloudDAV, which then allows use of WevDAV via the iWork apps. As a file manager/cloud manager, StorageMadeEasyFileFabric works well, though I have noticed it is a bit complex for what I need to do. I own iFiles as well and find that app's interface more user friendly. If you have an SME account, StorageMadeEasyFileFabric is the only way to access your SME cloud files directly. Overall, I would recommend it for those who want/need cloud file management on the go and/or need WebDAV access for your iWork stuff. I actually use it in conjunction with iFiles, though when I want to do file management, I use iFiles.

Because it let me clear off all my pics to the cloud skydrive without ugly iTunes! And because i could get sugar sync to do this with a paid subscription, I will be generous and give it 4 stars. But 5 stars, how could I do that when it has a million options that do not seem to do anything. Read some user interface books people!. More is less. To upload multiple pics, not videos, those are 1 at a time. Use the media menu. There I saved you 10 minutes so go ahead and buy it and sign up on skydive for a free 50 gb!

Select your pics then go to bed. And set a reminder to cancel your 5 dollar a month sugar sync despite its user friendly interface.

After reading reviews I thought this would be the best option to store files on Dropbox via WebDAV and my decision was correct. After installing StorageMadeEasyFileFabric , I had some configuration problems but their tech support worked diligently to help me resolve all my issues. I will highly recommend this application to anyone who wants complete control of file transfers to cloud storage. I find the application to be well designed and a powerful tool for everyone from the basic user to the most advanced.

Thank-you Ana at iSMEstorage!

At last my Mesh files on my iPad ! I was a bit worried having looked at a couple of the reviews but was desperate to get access to my files from my iPad and this is just the job. Opening Mesh files to edit in QuickOffice is my main use case and for that its perfect for me. I like the local files feature also and I'm finding I'm using it more than I thought. Good App, not sure I've used it all to its fullest yet but did what I wanted it to.

2.19 update very nice. Being able to access Office365 from iPad alone makes StorageMadeEasyFileFabric worthwhile

Had some challenges initially using this. Registered for default SMEStorage free account and thought I had to pay to add clouds, but after contacting support they kindly swapped me to Skydrive and Google Docs and I realised I had made a mistake when registering as there were more choices if I clicked on the "Free SMEStorage S3" option. After that I could not get my SkyDrive working and again they stepped me through getting this working. Great support goes a long way.

I went to my friend's house this week, and forgot important pictures she wanted to see, but it was NO PROBLEM, using iSME I could access the photos in the "cloud" via my iPhone. This program totally saved me! I didnt have to drive all the way back home for these files! I can see how this is going to be VERY useful for someone like me who is very busy. All you do is upload your stuff to the cloud one time, and you can access it from anywhere as many times as you need to! Its great!

I'm using this as a type of business overlay for my S3 files on the move. It's not perfect as no app is, but it give me some useful business type features for me files, and I like that meeting note and recorded voice meetings get sync'd back there. The email import (web only) was also pretty useful once I figured out how to do it. StorageMadeEasyFileFabric has potential as a nice mobile office. I'd love them to add offline email into it, but right now opening S3 files directly into iWork is a step in the right direction.

Updated: Now Supports PogoPlug....very nice

When I got my iPhone about a year ago, I had no idea I'd ever use it for much more than a phone that did a few cool things. With apps like this one, though, my whole work life has quickly become so much more productive! Don't be intimidated by all the choices and options -- it's all very user friendly and will make sense within minutes, even if you're new to the whole "cloud" storage concept. I agree with another reviewer on the usefulness of the TinyURL feature, which has already proven to be a new staple for my clients.

I bought this for the Cloud File Manager and it works great for my DropBox and SkyDrive files, and the local file manager is such a bonus. I'd have bought it for this feature alone !

Now I can FTP files up to my iPad, and also open files from Mail and other Apps and cut and paste them into their relevant directory structures, and even paste new files into my nominated sync directory and sync back up to my file cloud. All from the iPad, amazing!

Throw in the ability to take notes/voice notes and sync them back to my SkyDrive and DropBox and you have a winner!

This is really a nifty product! When you consider that the iPad app is under $5, and it is a one time charge, it is a great deal. I use it for sending Pages and Numbers documents to Dropbox through a WebDav connection and it works very well. It was a bit tricky setting up at first and I had to have their Support Dept enable the iPad app, but they were very responsive. It took under an hour and they had gotten back to my email and fixed my problem.
I disagree with a couple of the earlier reviews, I find this product to be very reliable and it is very flexible. Thanks for a great product!

This application is perfect for those looking for a method to access multiple cloud storage systems.

Within minutes I was up and running. And although I was successful at connecting google docs, Skydrive and dropbox, I was limited to selecting only two providers using the free version, truly not an issue considering the cost, in fact I may soon upgrade to the pro version shorty after I kick the tires awhile longer.

The added features of remote upload is slick. This feature enables your ability to send files from any remote network to the cloud storage.

I know there are other apps with this ability but You can also store voice and text memos to the cloud...

The option to you open files within the iSMEStorage or other App loaded on your iPad that support the file types was a nice touch.

Integrated web browser and email support worked well.

There are a number of other features that Im sure will prove useful once you give StorageMadeEasyFileFabric a try. You have nothing to loose...

I believe the team has done an outstanding job with the development and support. I sense great success for your efforts. Looking forward to future releases.

iSMEStorage Is a great product for the iPad that delivers its promise of setting up sites like Dropbox to function as webDAV clients. I use DropBox a lot in my business. Documents to Go does a wonderful job of quickly uploading and dowloading files from DropBox.

However, I also sometimes want the robust feature set afforded me by Notes and Pages. Since iSMEStorage allows my Notes and Pages to save to wevDav, it becomes a pretty easy path for me to open, let's say, a Pages document in DropBox, and bring it into Pages, whose interface I love. I make the needed changes using Pages and then upload the document back to DropBox using iSMEStorage. The process of saving to DropBox is not as streamlined as using Documents to Go, who offers direct support for DropBox.

However, I am excited that I can now use my suite of Pages, Numbers and Keynote, and actually now have a pretty good way of manipulating these files in and out of DropBox.

Congratulations on a great product that is priced very well so that anyone can afford to use this technology. I looked forward to future enhancements, and must also ad how great your technical support has been,

Keep up the great work!

If you want to go from cloud to iDevice, you typically need iTunes or some other local server in between. StorageMadeEasyFileFabric avoids that. Our CEO wanted to sync files from a cloud account without any local computer involved, just their iPad. StorageMadeEasyFileFabric was able to sync from cloud to device directly, keeping local copies available where the Internet is not, for example on an airplane.

If you have problems or questions, their support is quick and quite helpful.

If you are looking to sync and save files locally, this is StorageMadeEasyFileFabric to get.
