What FileBrowser is
FileBrowser is an iPhone and iPad file manager for reaching and organizing files across computers, network drives, USB drives, and cloud storage. It connects to Mac, Windows, and Linux systems, NAS devices, and network shares using SMB, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and WebDAV. Listed cloud services include Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and Nextcloud; GO and Professional add connectors such as SharePoint, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, and OneDrive for Business. Users can copy and move files, bulk-rename them, edit documents in place, and merge or reorder PDFs. The app can stream or download music and video for offline playback, with Chromecast, AirPlay, and Bluetooth support. Connections can appear in the iOS Files app for other apps to use. GO and Professional add folder sync, backup, and automation tasks; standard FileBrowser does not. The maker says the app collects no user data and requires no account or email registration. It supports password, Touch ID, and Face ID locks, with saved connection passwords stored in iOS Keychain.
