  • Amazing! - Needs Hide Folder Feature

    Spectacular file management app and works like a charm. Just one feature is missing- the ability to hide files/folders especially for externally connected drives.
  • Does everything it claims to do with a high degree of fit and finish.

    Well executed utility. The sort of app iOS needed badly. One thing is missing: File associations. There IS an “edit with” capability, but limited to certain file extensions. This facility needs generalizing into a “run with” or “ open with” file association. Then other apps can run the file, and one can use file explorer to find and select the file and another app to open the file, similar to Windows file explorer.

    I do not know how difficult this is in iOS.

  • Needs tabs!

    Overall, I’m very happy with FE File Explorer. I have a handful of networked shares mapped spanning SMB, OSX, and WebDAV, and i use it daily to manage files between my iOS and PC/Mac devices. It does everything i need it to do.

    One annoyance: the built-in video player uses a non-standard UI which doesn’t give me the control I expect.

    Also, sometimes when moving files between folders, i find that i really want a tabbed file browser so that i can have multiple locations open simultaneously. This is not a criticism but rather a suggestion to make the app even better.

  • So much better than Files

    Works excellently with my Samba NAS, loads fast and thumbnails actually work! Native Files has horrendous problems with load times and doesn’t thumbnail, this works so much better. I’m extremely happy that lots of video formats like webm work without issues as well
  • Puts the Files apps to shame

    Just wanted to change a file extension. This app makes it super easy and intuitive, and modifies the file in place. This is the file manager you’re looking for. Looking at the other reviews, all the low stars either didn’t know what they were doing or had something else wrong, except the few cases where the developer responded and fixed a bug. Can’t really ask for more.

  • Finally one that works!

    I have been through countless apps, all of which absolutely fail when it comes to using SFTP with key-only authentication. In fact, not a single app has succeeded until this one. The interface takes a bit of getting used to but is pretty smooth once you have it down. All in all, a great app that finally does what other apps can’t seem to figure out, and does so very simply and intuitively.

  • Fantastic!!!

    I use it to watch videos on my Mac that are not I. The iTunes library. It can also play mkv video files. I wish the Apple TV version could do as much as the IOS version. For instance, with this version I can tell the application to use VLC to play videos. Most of the minor issues I’ve had had more to do with my stinky WiFi than the app!

  • Awesome App Highly Recommend

    I have been looking for this type of app for a while to connect to my home NAS running Samba. I have difficulties in the past with other software but this app is great and I can connect my google drive, icloud, nextcloud etc.. I even bought the Mac version of this app.
  • Brilliant worth paying 4.99 for the Pro Version.

    Absolutely brilliant from the outset at first glance I could see that it was what I wanted. I wanted to be able to easily browse and access my files from all locations, mainly my Dropbox accounts. So easy to do it.
    Highly recommend.
  • A great App! Top

    I have used FE for more than 5 years to access the files from a server in my office and it works fantastically. A year ago I started using MS Office 365 and OneDrive and I regret that move. With my VPN and FE I can get my files from always from anywhere and can similarly add files and quickly. With OneDrive I can get them most of the time and it can take 5 minutes to upload a photo.
