Works fine, is free and connecting to Nas is only a one time fee of a few bucks… but it does not open files larger than 2gb. Unless I use the SMB protocol, which it does support, but is rather slow. It works but I’m hoping panels opens it faster… But I don’t want to pay anual fee’s or €25 for every new version… unless it really solves my issues.
There is no need to pay for every new version. If you get Panels 3, you will get all features forever. You’ll only need to pay for new Panels 4 features, if you want them. Also, we will offer a discount to upgrade from 3 to 4, 4 to 5, etc
I’d say the best option (if you want to try premium stuff) will be to join Panels+, which offers a free trial in either monthly or anual. You can cancel the subscription during trial period so you won’t get charged.
