Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

1 ★Not work on samsung
1 ★Won't let me log in.
1 ★Doesn't work
1 ★It's a app ?!! Just a demo !!!
5 ★Works great with my unraid SMB share!
5 ★Working perfectly in my home network environment
1 ★aha,
1 ★garbage
3 ★Not the most user friendly app yet, but hey, that's what you get for an intial release I guess. Mounting it is easy enough if you know what to key in though. For my windows share, I ticked needs a password, set my domain to WORKGROUP, and set my user and password to guest. Works fine. Would love to see this app get baked into newer Android releases with the option to scan for samba shares and tapping on them to add them rather than what it is now.
3 ★It seems a bit hit and miss. Downloads allow you to browse the share but opening a large file like a video fail whereas other samba options allow you to access the shares like the file was on your phone. You should be able to access a file share from any program but you can't. Also, seems like no easy way to unmount yet other than uninstalling. For simple browse and copy back to your device it works ok.
2 ★Seems legit.. use at own peril. Only supports SMBv1 shares.. the sort of share that is currently being exploited by WannaCrypyt / NotPetya RansomWare...
1 ★A bizarre half baked attempt at a service app, with poor platform support and limited options. Needs a lot more work before I would consider using this to access my local files.
