Contabo Storage

Your Contabo buckets, on every Apple screen. Contabo Storage is the native way to browse object storage on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, open files in place, and play video and audio straight from the cloud. No more copying a link into a browser just to check one file. Open the app, pick a bucket, and move through folders the way you move through Photos or Files. Photos look sharp on the iPhone display. Documents open without a full download. Video and audio start playing from Contabo, so a 4K clip or a long podcast does not have to land on your device first. On iPad it feels like a desk: a wide browser beside the preview, made for reviewing a media library or a client folder. On a Mac with Apple silicon it is the same app, fast and quiet, for the days you are sorting backups or pulling assets into a project. Sign in once with your Contabo S3 keys and the EU, US, or Singapore endpoint. Your buckets follow you. Built for Contabo’s S3 API. Upload from the camera roll or Files, rename, delete, and share without opening a generic cloud console. If your files already live on Contabo, this is the Apple app that lets you browse them, open them, and press play. Download Contabo Storage for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Al at Free against Contabo Storage's $9.99. Al also leads on update cadence (every 9 months vs every 28 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 27.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
