It works just fine for reading and deleting files (more than my phones built in file manager can do) but with it forcing you to use Total Commander I can't find a way at all to copy files onto my USB, I can select a user defined location but it just does nothing when trying to select this plug-in within Total Commander, if I could copy files onto the USB then it would be a instant 5 stars.

I think it must be difficult to make an app that manages NTSF for Android USB. Two or three other apps just didn't work or they were poorly designed. This one has worked for me. And you don't need an external file system app. There's a little blue circle on the bottom right. Use that to find files and copy or move them to your USB storage. It's slow. I think that has more to do with the file system and adapting the, non NTSF, data stream from Android to the memory card. 512 GB SD/ pixel 8
