iOS App Store seems to have about nine hundred ‘file managers’ all of which are anything but and demand ridiculous subscription costs.

Is there a decent file manager for iOS that actually will do file management things like select multiple file & rename etc that isn’t a scammy subscription/Ad ridden mess?

*Yes, I’m aware Files app is provided by Apple, but it’s extremely basic.

      Thank you very much for your suggestion. This looks like a more reasonably priced solution. After re-reading the description I note the developers say that it EXTENDS the iOS Files app, in other words I can access files already present ‘on your phone’.

        You can access a special filebrowser folder via the files app… there are different versions of the app available via App Store, so you can try before you by I guess

          Yes, I tested the ‘Go’ version which allows 3 day trial before levying a subscription.

          Based on that I purchased the ‘Pro’ version as it meets my needs well and I hate farking subscriptions lol

          • Beware there are imitators with almost identical app names and identical app descriptions.

          You want the app by Stratospherix

          You can also add any other folder as connected drive of type „App Folder“.

      FileBrowser Pro is really great. One-time purchase, has about any feature you could need and they’re constantly adding new features too. Totally worth it.
