Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Files HD Pro at 4.7 against Connect to PC's 3.3. Files HD Pro also leads on ratings volume (224 vs 7). Connect to PC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Files HD Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Files HD Pro has 224 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Connect to PC's written reviews are positive against 59% of Files HD Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Connect to PC ships an update every 3 months, Files HD Pro every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
