LanFolder

junk

unable to get it to work and unable to turn it of..

The latest version of Chrome for Windows refuses to allow this app to install citing that only Chrome Store apps can be installed, the problem is that this app is not available for the Windows version of Chrome. I needed to do an Google search to find the .crx file for this app, and 5 of the 6 File Hosting Providers for this app are reporting that this file no longer exists on their servers.

Doesn't work. Even switching off the firewall doesn't help. It just does not do what it says it does.

Extremely glitchy. Will not open fully in Windows to allow adjustments to shared folders, and does not list in Programs in the Control Panel for uninstalling. Behavior makes this VERY SUSPECT. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!

Crippleware. Do not bother. The developer's website is down and there's no way to pay for the premium version.

Killed & Rebooted my ChromeBook every time i attempted to use it. Not just an ordinary kill: it wiped out ALL the open windows. Very tedious to resurect them. i did this three times before removing LF, as dangerous, from my system. Back to sneaker net:-( Oh attachments in entries of Chrome's 'Draft' folder works a charm for single files too:) Better luck on finding a file xfer system!

Might be good for some, but pretty useless for me. It is easy/fast to install and setup. But: 1) The interface provides no way to transfer a whole folder of files, just individual files one at a time. Not helpful for a folder with 1300 jpeg's, for example. The only option seems to be "use native browser.." but that will only transfer to a chromebook, not from one. 2) Files are displayed in a seemingly random order - no option to sort by name or date. Again, not helpful for a Downloads folder with hundreds of items when you are trying to find a specific one. 3) No pogress bar while a large file is transferring, so no way to tell when it will be done. 4) The web page mentions a purchase to allow more features? There doesn't seem to be any evidence of this in the app.

No documentation, says you need to have their app installed and running on other machines but no link to get it, official site links back to the app store itself. This last in particular is extremely suspicious and raises a serious red flag, especially on an application that requires such extensive permissions due to its nature.

Paid for the premium only to discover you still only have the ability to transfer ONE single file at a time No folders No "ctrl+a" or other variants of selecting multiple available. Feeling a little ripped off.

Would like to give it a 5 star, as it works great as long as I can run LanFolder on both Chrome and Windows. However, there appears to be no way to install on Windows as either an APP or as a Chrome EXTENSION. An internet search for LanFolder finds a German website that RUNS Lanfolder but does not install. "lanfolder.com" is dead and email to support is also dead. Anyone know how to install on Windows 10?
