ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IONOS HiDrive holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IONOS HiDrive has 81 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of IONOS HiDrive's written reviews are positive against 80% of WebDAV Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IONOS HiDrive ships an update every 4 months, WebDAV Manager every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
