Can I manually input my IP address into the Mac App?

When the Mac app can't find my iPhone on the auto discovery (e.g. my work blocks auto discovery somehow) but I can access my phone via the browser by typing in the IP address, I should also be able to type in the address into the Mac app as well.

The browser interface is limited as to what it can do (such as bulk transfer of videos), so it would be nice if I could circumvent the auto discovery to continue using the Mac app.
Hi John,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Interesting, we specifically not included this because we thought the auto-discovery is much easier. Most likely your network is blocking the bonjour broadcast used by our app to discover devices which is an exception. We will think about this and see if there is an easy way to integrate manual entry on the Mac app. For now you can use the web browser when you are at work :(

Let us know if you have other questions or comments.

Kind regards,

Enrique
