The Files Replacement

This is the perfect Files replacement. Especially if you have multiple servers and aren’t just using smb.

Beware!

Beware! App is full of glitches across the board and the UI/UX rates amongst the lowest. Combine that with abysmal support and continuous pushback from Steven Zhang .. well .. just beware.

Great app until IOS27 broke shortcuts

This was the perfect Files replacement. Especially if you have multiple servers and aren’t just smb.
Unfortunately I rely on shortcuts to do the file moving work and since ios27 the shortcuts to upload files has been broken. And still no sign of a fix.
A deal breaker for me.
