I wish more apps were this good

Works extremely well. Handles networked storage much more reliably than any Apple made application on any platform. Easy to set up; easy to use. FB takes away 95% of the pain of ipadOS file management. I can't say enough good things about how wll it handles network and cloud storage.

WoW! This is exactly what I've been looking for

What can I say? I've been looking for a way to synchronize files on my device with the files on my computer without hassle, this is the solution. It's not cheap, but it is priced quite appropriately considering the functionality.

Overall, a fantastic app

The reading speed for viewing large size file is absolutely fantastic (comparing with apple’s default Files app). The only feature that I hope the developer can implement in the future is to further expand the thumbnail capacity (so that it can keep the last 50000 thumbnail or even more). Anyway, a truly amazing app to use.

This App is the Greatest Utility on iOS of all time

I honestly think this is the most useful utility on my iPad and iPhone. Connects to servers, cloud storage, acts as a video player, a book reader and much more. The Swiss Army Knife of iOS Utilities. I use the Apple TV Version and upgraded from Standard to Pro for the Shortcuts functionality. The couple times I needed support I got it immediately. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. *July 2022 update. You can now rename photos using exif data! No more running my clunky shortcut! Thank you guys so much!

Awesome but could be better

This is a great little file app, it’s necessary on the iPad as i find there are a ton of bugs with OneDrive and what not with the regular ipad file app, i regularly lose my work that it supposed to be saved. If not for this app, I would be MUCH harder to use the ipad as laptop replacement. The only complaint i have is that there is no real proper keyboard shortcuts like there is on Mac. The biggest thing i miss is very easily typing on the keyboard and the file would be come highlighted, where one could easily hold CMD and up arrow to open. It’s a very quick keyboard gesture that saves a ton of time navigating through file paths all the time that this app does sadly not have. Even adjusting the accessibility settings on the ipad does not help much. As an FYI, the regular files app for the ipad does support this feature.

Google Drive Compatible

OK, the app is as good as everyone is saying. It would let me upload all folders to google drive whereas the native Google Drive app on the iPad would not.

The most important app on my iOS devices

I can’t stress this enough! This is by far the most important app on my devices. I hate paper and I scan everything. For the last 20+ years I’ve been a big advocate of scanning everything. You name it, I have it with me. What if you had a house fire? Paper files gone! I would easily have over 15,000 pages (probably more) of data in File Browser. I keep a copy on my phone in file browser. I have it sync to a bitlockered drive on my server, and about once/month I put a redundant copy of everything in FileBrowser on my iPad Pro. I’m a network administrator and while we promote cloud backups, there are just some things I don’t want in the cloud. Pretty much everything I’ve wanted feature wise was either already in the app or added after. One thing I’d like to see is the size of individual files when you view them in the folder; even if you can do a properties of the file. Beyond that, I love it. Awesome job guys.

Il as ses bon côté

Très satisfait du programme :-)

Works great with NextCloud

App handles server connectivity loss reliably. Great interface and superb support for many services.

Great for iXpand

Thanks for continued support for iXpand, it’s why bought the app in the first place.
