    I'm currently trying to find a file sharing and management app that have the following features. So far I had only tried Files Lite because it's the only app that have lite version.

    Here's a list of features that I want:
    - Passcode protection for a folder or files.
    - Built-in image viewer, but with passcode protection.
    - Fast scrolling/scroll bar display.
    - Smooth scrolling for large files.
    - Able to create and edit files.
    - Able to create new folders.
    - Able to move files between folders. (Optional)
    - Landscape support

    Here's my thought on Files Lite:
    - Small delay/hiccup when scrolling files (.ppt/.pdf).
    - Cannot edit and move files.
    - Cannot create any new files or folders.

    Questions:
    1) Does ReaddleDocs have a built-in image viewer which include image slideshows and multiple transaction as provided by Files.
    2) Any app with passcode protection each time I want to open a password protected files or folders? Not the one that only appears once when I launch the app.

    I think MobileStudio had the ability to create new files but I couldn't find any video reviews on it.

    So if you have any comments or video reviews link on any one of those app feel free to post here. I wouldn't want to waste over $5.00 for an app that doesn't suits me.

    Thanks. But does it have passcode protection for a particular folders or file instead of the app itself? And does it have a built-in image viewer with image preview (thumbnail)?

    I hope the new version will allow us to copy complete photos without any change from the camera roll to MobileStudio. With the current version you get only parts of a pic.

    I'm currently using Readdledocs and very happy with that product. It's a very powerfull and complete file manager on iPone, it also includes all functions you mentioned except editing... And Password prodtection works good, i'm using that all the time.
    Also I'd like to highlight the powerful PDF viewer, other apps like AirSharing / MobileFiles crashes when I tried to view large PDF files, and I need that for my presentations.
    And I established Ad Hoc connectivity due to the fact i don't have wi-fi all the time - pretty handy, Overall I give that app 4 stars only becoz you can't edit files.
    Still it beats on top for me.

    It has thumbnail previews of images? Really?

    The main problem of Readdledocs is the lack of support for file formats and the missing FTP support. No support for audio and video files? Come on, even the cheapest of the file management apps have this.

    I had tried Readdledocs and it DOES NOT have thumbnail previews. I wish we can scroll through the image by tapping instead of using the arrow button.

    It has no thumbnail previews of images, you're rght, But why are you telling that it has lack of support for file formats? Readdledocs definately supports all file formats including video and audio files.
    The only minus is that it lags when scrolling large PDF files (but other file managers lags aswell... I guess it's the problem of iphone initially rather rhan in all that apps)
