A file manager built so that one app is enough to handle files on your iPhone. Beyond tidying up what's on your device, you can connect directly to the NAS at home, a rented server, or cloud storage, and work with all of it the same way. No more downloading a file before you can open it. ■ Connect straight to remote servers Supports SMB / SFTP / FTP / WebDAV / Amazon S3 / Cloudflare R2. SMB servers on your network are discovered automatically, so you can connect by picking one from a list even if you don't know its IP address. Usernames and passwords are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. ■ Wi-Fi transfer for your computer Connect from a browser on a computer on the same Wi-Fi network and drag and drop files back and forth. No cable, no extra software. The connection is encrypted with HTTPS and protected by a PIN, and you can stop the server when you're not using it. ■ Compress and extract ZIP, of course, plus tar, gz, bz2, xz, 7z and more. You can create password-protected ZIP files, or look inside an archive without extracting it. ■ View it and edit it in place A VLC-based playback engine handles MKV, AVI and WMV as well as MP4. Videos on a remote server stream right away instead of making you wait for a download. Images, PDFs and Markdown preview in the app, and there's a Hex viewer for binaries.
