Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Connect™ App at none against File Explorer's 2. Connect™ App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). File Explorer's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
