TRIED NFS FILES AND COULDN'T CONNECT? THIS UPDATE IS FOR YOU. When a connection fails, 2.2 works out why and tells you how to fix it, right in the error: • "NFS is switched off" — with the exact menu to turn it on for Synology, QNAP, UGREEN, TrueNAS, Unraid or Linux • "Use diskstation.local instead" when a name doesn't resolve • "Nothing is listening on that port", "Nothing answered at that address", "That's on another network — connect to its VPN first" • Local Network permission switched off? It says so, and Open Settings takes you straight to the switch. FIX IT FROM THE ERROR • Find Shared Folders asks your NAS what it shares. • Scan My Network finds NFS servers on your network — pick one and the form fills itself in. • Test Connection checks everything before you save. WE'LL HELP YOU CONNECT • Email Support is one tap from every error, with your app version and the error already filled in. Send it — I read every one and will help you get connected. • Learn More opens a step-by-step page for that exact error. MORE CONNECTIONS JUST WORK • NFSv4 now gets through firewalls that block port 111, and Advanced lets you pin ports, with presets for Synology, TrueNAS and Linux. • Extra group IDs for shares that grant access by group. ALSO • Photos and videos upload with their original names, as the original file (HEIC stays HEIC). • Large uploads stream instead of loading into memory.

Better diagnostics when a connection fails.

NFS Files 2.1 — more for Pro, fixes for everyone. PRO • Permission editor: change a file or folder's owner, group, and read/write/execute bits right from the app. When a server refuses, it tells you why in plain language — squash rules, not just "permission denied". FIXES • Video recorded by DVRs (.ts, .mpg, .m2ts) now shows a video icon instead of a code icon. • A refunded Pro purchase now takes effect immediately. Got a server that won't connect?

NFS Files 2.0 — understand your server, not just browse it. • Inspect Server — see what identity the server treats you as, who owns the export, whether reads and writes actually work, and how its squash settings affect you. Plus every export's allowed-client rules and the server's RPC services. • Scan My Network — find NFS servers by address when they don't advertise themselves. • Move files between folders, in the app and in Files/Finder. • A brand-new app icon.

NFSv4 support — NFS Files now speaks NFSv4 as well as NFSv3. • Connects to NFSv4-only servers, including modern Linux distributions and hardened NAS setups that have turned NFSv3 off • Automatic — the app tries NFSv4 first and falls back to NFSv3, so every server you already use keeps working with nothing to change • Force a version per server under Advanced if you need to • NFSv4 carries no separate MOUNT service, so it connects cleanly through stricter firewalls and needs one open port instead of two Also in this release: • The one-time Pro upgrade is easier to reach when you want it, and stays out of the way when you don't Server still won't connect? Send Feedback in Settings — I answer.

A clearer explanation when NFS Files asks about personalized ads, so it is obvious what gets shared, who it goes to, and that declining leaves every feature working. Plus internal cleanup and reliability work across the NFS engine.
