Ratings and Reviews
File sharing made easy
Update: I’ve been using FileBrowser now for a number of years mainly to transfer photos between my Windows PC and my iPads. Recently bought a new Windows 11 laptop and connected to it ok with one iPad but had issue with the other. Prompt response from Support helped resolve that so everything okay now. Continues to be an excellent app for my purposes.
Original: I've used a number of clunky ways of getting files from my PC to my iPad involving Skydrive, Dropbox or email attachments. File Browser offers a much easier method of transferring files as well as connecting to memory sticks or external drives plugged into the USB port on my router. I had a minor problem setting up the connection to my PC and had to ask for help from Stratospherix. The reply was very quick and contained simple instructions on how to resolve the problem which was related to my PC set up rather than the app.
An essential addition
Having bought Affinity Photo, I needed a way to get it to operate properly with my NAS. FileBrowser proved to be the answer. Although the ‘Save’ function on the main screen uses an API that’s only available to iCloud, I can use the space on my SMB shares through the ‘Save a Copy’ command in the image’s document menu. Filebrowser’s plug-in for the native Files app makes this possible, and I haven’t found any other file manager app that offers this functionality. This alone is worth the price of the program.
As a bonus, it includes a browser for RAW files that’s far superior to that included in Files or Photos, and I can send a RAW straight to Affinity through the share sheet.
If you have plenty of disk space on your local network and want to move large files on and off your iPad without sending them through the internet to iCloud, then this is an essential purchase.
SIMPLY THE BEST
This app by Stratospherix is by far the best of its kind. It outpaces every other file organiser I’ve used over the last n years, and the most recent improvements lift it into the astral realm!
I opened FileBrowser today, which was the first time for many months, as I’ve been undergoing quite a bit of surgery. Just seeing the layout, with everything so efficiently organised, in a way that’s a pleasure to look at, almost made me weep with relief. It’s always been the app with the easiest interface for seeing what’s where, but the upgraded version is better again!
I hardly ever write reviews, but I had to write this because I’m so delighted with the app. It’s made keeping my life in order so much simpler. Thank you, developers at stratospherix - you’ve made an old woman very happy!
