Failure after iPhone OS 3.0
mrcrader
Immediately after upgrading to OS 3.0 on my iPhone 3G this app started failing. I tried to add an FTP site and it crashed. I reinstalled the app and it adopted a Sirius XM app icon and continues to crash whenever attempting to add any more than one network item. I deleted it from my phone and will watch for an update in iTunes.
Good app

Now it's really a good app for me. FTP support. E-mail support. So many Good features.Now it didn't crash.
Eats html files

Maybe I read the description wrong, but when I connected thru FTP to my site and edited an html file, iStorage emptied the file after I saved the changes! Every time! The description says it edits text files, which is what html files are, and when I highlighted the files the option to Edit or Download showed up, so I figured I was ok. Not the case. The file was still on my server, but had 0kb of content. Good thing I worked on backup files. It did work with files with the txt extension, but few web files are labelled that way. If you are looking for an FTP client to help you maintain Web sites on the road, as I was, this isn't it.
not at all user friendly

Can do a lot, but not at all user friendly. Don't even think about getting unless you have a good understanding of file transfer protocols. Poorly integrated into the iPhone. Doubt I will ever use, This is a definitely a case of something that should have a trial version.
Take the mediocre ratings with a grain of salt

In its current incarnation, iStorage is far and away the best file manager app I've used for the iPhone. It has everything I need: the ability to act as a client or server on a local network to transfer files to/from computers; access to FTP sites; and access to iDisk and other WebDAV storage sites. Why run two or three different apps for those functions when you can get them all in one? Earlier versions may have had stability problems, but I've been using the current version to connect to a variety of FTP and WebDAV sites with no problems. The interface could use some minor tweaking but overall I found it intuitive and easy to use. Well worth the 6 bucks.
No Support

Used and worked for a while, but after 3.1.3 update my files did not show up anymore even thou they where in the iPhone root folder, I e-mailed support several times and no answer. End up going with Readdledocs and now I am back on track. Waste of money if you ask me.
Works great for my needs

I use iStorage to upload large photo files with FTP. Works great for that. I transfer files to the phone with another app on my laptop.
Impressive! Built-in web browser puts others to shame

When I first got my iPhone I was shocked that the "Choose File" and "Upload" buttons in Safari are disabled when you use any common web form. It also turns out that every web browser in the App Store lacks this functionality too. Finally, iStorage solves this problem. The app helps you to get files into your phone from the web, an FTP server, an e-mail, or an iDisk and then turns around and allows you to upload them through a web browser, FTP, etc. So long as you have images or files sitting in your iStorage "Documents" folder, you can use iStorage's web browser (Which looks and feels like Safari) to upload them. This a great news for bloggers who use WordPress or Movable Type and anyone else who needs to upload an image or Word doc via a web browser. The app could be improved when you want to copy an image from your iPhone's existing photo album to the iStorage "Documents" folder. There is no "bulk copy" or "quick copy" function for individual images. Each image has to be copied manually out of the iPhone album and renamed. The app could benefit from allowing the user to upload directly from the iPhone's photo album. Despite this annoyance, I still give the app 5 stars for being the only app to allow web browser uploads. As with any app, this one has evolved and improved with every version and I hope to see more functionality as the app matures.
