### 2/5 — Kahlestr

*2023-09-05*

This app will not allow me to wirelessly connect to my computer. Under the computer network Drive option. All the other ones do, but this one will not.

### 5/5 — Sehr gute Dateiverwaltung

*2019-04-27*

Der FileBrowser EDU ist eine sehr gute Datei-Verwaltungs-App für iPad-Klassen, die via MDM oder AC2 betreut werden. Die Zuordnung zu entfernten SharePoints, WebDAV, NAS oder anderen FTP-Systemen ist sehr intuitiv und funktioniert stabil. Sehr gut finde ich auch die Möglichkeit, die Einstellungen und das Admin-Kennwort in einer Konfigurationsdatei zu sichern und via MDM auf die iPads einer Klasse zu übertragen.

Leider funktioniert die Funktion „Freigaben automatisch auflisten“ in den erweiterten Einstellung nicht. Das wäre aber sehr nützlich.

Vielen Dank für diese App und ich hoffe auch auf eine baldige Korrektur.

Viele Grüße 
Martin
