Customer Reviews
Simply the Best File Manager on iOS +++
FileBrowser is amazing and very useful. It lets me view and access all of my files stored on my local Time Capsule from my iOS devices. You can even stream unprotected (non-DRM) video files direct to your Apple TV using AirPlay. The app has been regularly updated since it was released and the developers provide great support.
Feature requests:
1. Please add support for the iOS 8/9 storage extensions so that I could use FileBrower to copy or move a file to/from my Time Capsule from within other apps, e.g. FileBrower's configured Remote Files should appear as storage extension points in other apps. That would be amazing. The developers have partially added this in a recent update but it only allows you to view a dedicated 'share' of files stored within the FileBrowser app. I would like to be able to access the configured servers via the storage extension.
2. Would love to see native built-in 1Password support to make logging-in to servers/shares a lot easier.
The separate tvOS version of FileBrowser is also great!
brilliant... Must have app.
I've had this app for a long time and used it occasionally, but since upgrading to iPad Air and using IOS 8 I have been enjoying the power of this APP coupled with the ability to ’OPEN IN' from other apps. FB has become an important part of my work flow meaning that only the iPad and not the laptop need attend meetings! Hooked up to DropBox and my NAS this APP is simply brilliant!
IOS10 Update : This app just gets better and better... and connects to Sandisk Wireless USB stick.
Continues to impress
Simple to use and in my experience connects to anything you can connect to from anywhere.
One of my essential apps that I've been glad to have for many years, improving with each update. Many makers of connected hardware and cloud services offer their own apps but this replaces all the bespoke viewers whilst being more versatile and stable.
Excellent support on the rare occasion if its needed but most connections are easy to create.
