What it is
FileBrowser is an iPhone and iPad file manager for reaching and organizing files across computers, network drives, and cloud storage. It connects to Mac, Windows, and Linux computers, NAS devices, USB drives, and network shares through SMB, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and WebDAV. Listed cloud services include Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and Nextcloud; GO and Professional editions add SharePoint, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, and OneDrive for Business. Users can copy and move files, rename batches, edit documents in place, and merge or reorder PDFs. The app can stream or download music and video for offline playback, with Chromecast, AirPlay, and Bluetooth support. Connections can be exposed through the iOS Files app for access from other apps. The standard edition does not include folder sync, scheduled tasks, or advanced automation; GO and Professional add sync, backup, and automation. The maker says FileBrowser collects no user data and requires no account or email registration. The standard edition is listed at $7.99, and a free trial is available for FileBrowserGO.
