Quickly plays audio lectures

File is fast and operates smoothly with a quick audio player.

PROS

I needed a file manger to quickly play audio lectures. FileRun gets the job done easily and quickly. The interface is friendly and attractive. It also displays the folder structure.

CONS

Installation requires ion cube loader. It takes some expertise to install it on a VPS.

Reason for choosing FileRun

The audio player is easier and requires less clicks to listen to a Quranic audio file.

For over 8 years this application has let me maintain my own large file share system perfectly!

My company gets a self-branded file sharing website which we use to distribute files to our clients, allow them to upload large files to us as a guest, and allows us to send large files to anyone with want, all for FAR less than maintaining an account at an expensive online service.

PROS

Customer Service is FAST and FANTASTIC! Anytime I've ever needed help I just send a quick email and get a response in a few hours. They release updates regularly and have for many years now, and are constantly adding new features and tweaking others to make them work better. They listen to customer feedback and suggestions, and develop with open source friendliness to make hooking into their systems easy too. The free version they offer is reat for small businesses, but the software REALLY shines when you are running 10 or more.

CONS

The licensing can get a bit expensive, but they have a free version for up to 5 users that helps a lot too.
