Important FileAid / FileApp Update
As a DiskAid user, you might be using FileAid to view files on your device.
If this is your case you are maybe aware already: we had to upgrade FileAid 1.4 to 1.5 and we changed the name to FileApp, incidentally.
We were very upset about Apple’s decision not to let our users enjoy the simplicity and efficiency of USB file transfer, but we had no choice as you can imagine. We are very sorry about that.
DiskAid (USB transfer tool) is still perfectly functional for file storing and iPhone/iPod Touch filesystem access but FileApp won’t let you view your files on the device.
It is probably pretty uncommon, but we would like you NOT to UPGRADE to FileApp in the App Store automatically, but to read the following carefully before:
- Why Should you Upgrade:If you have a jailbreak on your deviceIf you are a FileAid user only using WiFi connection for transferring files – WiFi connectivity issue
- Why You Should NOT Upgrade:If you are using FileAid on a device without jailbreak in conjunction with DiskAid – USB no longer supported
If you have upgraded on your iPhone by mistake (or you missed the upgrade information notice prior upgrading on your iPhone) you have the ability to downgrade to FileAid if you haven’t upgraded within iTunes on your desktop and you haven’t performed a sync!
- To do so:
- If a message appears warning that you have a more recent version of this app on the device, accept: it will install FileAid instead of FileApp.
- If you have upgraded to FileAid app will be copied back onto iTunes at next sync.
It is a real issue for us, as the ability to browse files transferred via USB within our iPhone app FileAid was a great feature within the DiskAid program we will sure suffer from that – but we won’t let our loyal customers take the blame.
We would naturally refund users that claim for, even beyond our refund policy (up to 60 days).
Also if you had a good time while the trick lasted, or if you feel any sympathy for us and you think that your purchase could subsidize the development and maintenance of the free version of FileAid and FileApp and you do not request a refund, we would thank you in advance for your support!
