ZFiles vs DavRoll

ZFiles is an iOS file browser for personal file management. Browse the iOS Files app, SMB shares on your local network, SFTP servers, WebDAV servers, and hidden files and folders. After downloading, all included features are available with no subscriptions or in-app purchases. Save frequently used servers, jump back into folders with bookmarks, preview images, videos, Markdown, JSON, and common documents, and manage transfers from one place. ZFiles has no ads and does not track users. Server settings and bookmarks stay on your device, and passwords are stored in the system keychain.

Automatic photo and video backup to your NAS — no subscription and no ads. DavRoll is a free personal app that scans the photo library you authorize to back up new photos and standard videos. It can also back up contacts (as vCard) and PDF documents from folders you choose. Your backup files go only to storage you own or manage, and you can browse and restore them anytime. If the auto-upload app that came with your NAS let you down, DavRoll takes over your photo auto-upload: background sync uploads new photos on its own, failed uploads are retried automatically, and a Wi-Fi-only option keeps your mobile data untouched.
