Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FunView at 5.0 against File Viewer's 3.4. FunView also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 38%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). File Viewer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
