This is the ONE for file management
This app has totally changed the game for me when it comes to managing files on my iPad. Here are a few things I really love about it: the way it actually moves files instead of copying them, the seamless connection to cloud services and my NAS, and the flexibility to switch between different views. There’s a lot more to this app, but one thing I want to highlight is the excellent support. I was a bit hesitant about the app at first, so there’s a bit of a learning curve due to all the features, but it’s easy to get the hang of it with the helpful guides they provide. I’m so glad I made the switch!

Doesn’t allow access to S3 buckets via Files App WITHOUT the app constantly being open
I cannot for the life of me understand why accessing S3 buckets under ‘Network Folders’ in the native Files app isn’t possible without the app itself having to constantly be opened separately, whereas other similar apps like this do not need to be running to access them.
Kind of defeats the purpose of having Files integration. And I’ve tried EVERY different setting there is.
Like, who in this development team came up with that bright idea? Makes no logical sense. Would easily be 0 stars if I could rate it that low.

Regression since update
There seems to be a regression in how file management works. Ever since the interface was retooled the app has been slower. every time you open a directory that you ftp into now it first does a super slow refresh—even when you switch directories and switch right back. Also search is worse. You used to be able to search for a directory—tap into one of the results and tap back out to see the other results. Now tapping back out just reloads the original directory and you have to search again. I’d five star rate this app if those issues were fixed again

Excellent app and developers.
If only all app developers where as good as these, they respect privacy, one off payment and a great stable app. This is one of those apps I don’t need that often but it’s also one of the last apps I would delete. It has saved the day so many times. It’s simply brilliant. Makes file sharing while on the go simple. File sharing is simple when it’s with other Apple devices but now my iOS devices easily file share with non Apple devices too 😃 FileBrowser has (to date) always got my files to where I need them, this includes my website, other computers on the network, my colleagues non iOS devices, even the lighting consoles I work on. It’s a great app with developers that listen to feedback and constantly add new and useful features. Thanks for making a great app while respecting users privacy.

Rock Solid App
Fabulous app, never let me down. Constantly updated. The Professional version is worth every penny. Buy it NOW!
Appalling monitoring of any connection
This app should be banned for the amount of intrusiveness in each bookmark and mail you have on your phone or on your mac. No permission asked.
Response from developer
The only time FileBrowser Professional would access an email on a Mac is if you connect FileBrowser to your Mac, browse to a folder containing an EML file and tap to open it. Please email support@stratospherix.com if you have other concerns and they will be happy to help you.
Extremely pleased after using past few months
I cant say this is the easiest product to learn but its not any harder to figure out than other complex productivity or utility apps.
I've had to contact their Support a couple of time to ask how to do something and have had immediate responses, never robotic and always a person able to walk me through the steps.
My husband and I both purchased the file browser app and installed it on our ipads and computers. We have a home network NAS we use to share our home management and joint files for things like heathcare, banking, tax returns, wills, vehicles, manuals, photos, etc.
File browser gives us each the same access to all our NAS, Google and iCloud files. It keeps entire folders in sync on our local devices.
Before I was aware of this product, we each struggled with the best way to ensure 100% file access between our individual accounts.
This product resolved that!

Best File Browser for iOS
I rarely write reviews and provide feedback – unless I am getting paid for it. However, I absolutely had to step in here and share my feedback about FileBrowser Pro. I do this because it is rare for a piece of software to be released that works well, is intuitive to use, and covers every need that the user could have.
Everything about this file browsing app just works great. Most of the time, we are stuck with low quality/poorly written junk Apple software (such as their miserable Files native app in iOS, among many examples).
I have thousands of JPEG files on my local network, including Synology, and yet the developers over at Apple could not (amongst any of them) find a way to reliably allow thumbnail previews to appear so that you can actually see the images in the directories you are browsing. You see kids, including easy and intuitive workflows for your software end users is kinda important.
Nevertheless, this file browsing app does all of that and more. I absolutely cannot recommend it enough. It will be the best $15 you ever spent.

Not worth it
Always gives me sync error. Have tried to reach out for help with the creators but havent heard anything. Its been more than 7 months of waiting.
Response from developer
We reply to support emails as quickly as possible, generally with 48 hours. It sounds like your email didn't reach us. Could you please send it again.
Fantastic file browser app
This is a fantastic file browser app. I have used this on many occasions now to transfer files between my servers on a computer well recommended
