Bug

After upgrading to iOS 18, the Files integration shows just "Loading.." after selecting a disk. We are researching possible ways to solve this.

In the meantime, we have released version 5.2.10 with a workaround: Inside Files (or any other third-party app) when you see the list of disks, long-press the disk you want to access and select Mount Disk. That will show the mount dialog, after which you can access the disk.

We will release another update once we have a better fix, or when Apple provides a fix.

Localization - Your help is needed!¶

The app user interface is currently available in English (default), Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, German, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish and Traditional Chinese. To provide the best user experience, it would be great to extend this list with more languages.

Please contact me if you can help by translating the user interface into your native language.
