NeoFinder

I have been using both Neofinder on the MAC and abeMeda on the PC for several years now. Once catalogs have been established, the real power is in finding things. Currently in Neofinder for iOS you can only find things based on file name. I look forward to improvements being able to have improved searching capabilities. Again this it a good first step. I had no problems viewing catalogs created from Neofinder and abeMeda.

I want to search by attributes like file size or date. Unfortunately the “powerful find editor” has only two options besides file name; a file type picker, & a checkbox for “has thumbnail” Rather disappointing. And crushingly slow.

UPDATE 2-5-2017: I continue to be super disappointed with this apps refusal to allow you to point it to a specific Dropbox folder, instead of a hard coded, inflexible "/NeoFinder" folder. Not only is this very inflexible (and as I mentioned before, almost every other modern iOS productivity app that I currently depend on allows you to define an arbitrary Dropbox path), but it assumes that you want to use a folder named "NeoFinder". But in my case, I want to point it to a Dropbox folder that I use for a work-specific NeoFinder catalog, that has a different folder name than my default "/NeoFinder" catalog folder that I use for my personal stuff. NeoFinder on the Mac is outstanding, so I am very disappointed that the iOS app still feels like it's stuck in the iOS5 days. The inability to flexibly sync my desktop catalog(s) with my phone via Dropbox or iCloud makes the iOS app effectively unusable for me. UPDATE 5-5-2016: I'm super bummed that this app still doesn't support Dropbox in a modern way, like most other productivity apps do. In 2009 or 2010, it may have been acceptable for an app to force you to use a dedicated sync folder at the root of your Dropbox folder, since at the time you were just grateful that Dropbox syncing even worked to begin with. But in 2016, it is very limiting (and some would even say arrogant) to not allow the user to choose the location to store their app's data in their Dropbox. Nearly every modern productivity app that supports Dropbox sync either defaults to the "/Apps" folder, or allows the user to choose their own folder, so it's puzzling why Neofinder on iOS seems to be stuck in the past, in regards to this commonplace configuration convention. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Neofinder is a great app on the desktop, but sadly I can't find much utility in this iOS version simply because the Dropbox syncing functionality is very limited. The main reason for this is because the app expects to find your Neofinder database at the root level of your Dropbox account, instead of allowing you to define a custom path to wherever you normally keep it. I like to keep all my synced app related preferences in a folder called "/apps" (as is the defacto standard location most Apps generally use these days), and I absolutely refuse to make an exception for Neofinder, because it adds unnecessary clutter to the root of my Dropbox folder.

It seems to connect to Dropbox but it doesn't see any folders or files. Useless.
