Driio puts your servers in the Files app. SMB shares, SFTP servers, NAS drives, WebDAV, Amazon S3, NFS, Dropbox and OneDrive appear next to iCloud Drive, and every app on your iPhone and iPad can open, save and share files on them. ONE JOB, DONE PROPERLY Driio doesn't scan PDFs, edit photos or play video. It connects your storage to the Files app you already use, so every app's open and save screens reach your NAS and servers without another app in the way.
