[How the iOS Files app works] For a file on a server connected with this app, edits made while sync is paused revert to the original when sync resumes. Choosing “Remove Download” also fetches the server copy, so the edit is discarded. This is how iOS works, and this app cannot change it. [All features are free. Support (the price of one coffee) is optional.] An iPhone and iPad app that puts your WebDAV or SFTP server in the Files app. Open NAS boxes, home servers, Nextcloud, and other shared folders with the same file actions you already use. The server list can sync with the Mac app via iCloud when you use the same Apple ID. [Works with Files] After you connect, each server appears as a location in Browse. Copy, move, rename, and create folders in Files, and those actions go to the server. This app does not need to stay open. [Features] Mount in Files: Work in the standard Files app, not a custom window. Each server is its own location. Multiple servers: Register up to 5 WebDAV or SFTP accounts. SFTP key auth: Load an OpenSSH RSA or Ed25519 private key, or use a password. For an encrypted key, enter the passphrase in the password field. iCloud sync: Servers, passwords, and keys sync across Mac, iPhone, and iPad with the same Apple ID. Connection state stays on each device. 8 languages: Japanese, English, Korean, Traditional Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese. [Policy] Completely free / no ads Privacy-first (credentials stay on-device. They sync through iCloud only if you use the same Apple ID. File traffic goes only to the server you specify) Support is optional “coffee” in-app purchase only
