FileBrowserGO: File Manager App Comments & Reviews
FileBrowserGO: File Manager Positive Reviews
Very Well DoneThe reason I am switching from the Files app is because files that have not been touched for a while need to be downloaded again in order to preview. So I was trying out different file manager alternatives, and this one is one of the few that takes my list. I would say that it has the best explorer than the others. It is the only one that allows you change the size of file and folder thumbnails. It also allows you to set thumbnail images to videos, which is a very impressive feature. Even the video viewer has a realtime scrub feature. And the design of the file manager feels very welcoming and right at home. There is a breadcrumb navigation tree for easier navigating, a history menu, and adding folders with large storage space is very easy and can be done quickly. With competitors such as Documents, it can be quite a hassle. Now there are a couple of issues. One is that it takes a long time for files to process when there are large amounts inside a folder. The thumbnail preview can take a long time to display, and I cannot view the files. There is a long wait. I have other suggestions that are not criticisms, but just personal preferences. Compared to other alternatives, there are more options for viewers. Like in the default image viewer, I see that the thumbnail images are below, but I like an approach where you can scrub through in a flipbook fashion. (I animate.) I would also like a playlist feature in the video viewer. One last thing is that I would like an option to group files. This is one thing that the Files app gets right. Maybe have options to group by name, tag, type, and etc..Version: 26.1
Nearly everything you could want.This is nearly everything that I could have hoped to look for in an app to make my network drives as seem as if they’re integrated into iOS. The next step would be to integrate a messages extension so that files can be navigated and shared from the app. I don’t see this being much of a problem, considering that there are other drive services who offer that. Also, I am not sure if it is a limitation of an SMB share, or the program. The need to continue and open the app to authenticate the drives and then return to the Files app is a bit clunky. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed in future releases. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.Version: 12.1
Fast jpg browser for scanned docsUpgraded to sub to get .mp4 viewer etc too. I normally hate subscriptions but this "Go" version of their file browser lets me see how videos work (I'll buy the full one soon so I don't have a sub). Testing from Windows shares, it needs SMB2 (or SMB3) like this app has. Some apps that claim SMB might only do SMB1 and modern Windows hates that and will just sit and spin on connection. This program is great and fast, I can select files in the viewer with a checkbox on the picture screen, rename files, move them. Haven't tested copying from PC to cloud but I'm sure it'll be a nice tool to sort/clear out my Dropbox folders while sitting on the throne for downtime. Only thing I might improve is a lossless jpeg rotate and crop (I scan all my mail, papers, receipts into a network PC) so cleaning, rotating and sorting is the thing I haven't automated so it falls behind and I need a handy fast tool like this to sort it all in those quick 5 min pauses in the day. Second thing, video viewer is nice, dials down to 0.1x speed for near frame by frame. The 1s fwd/row works only once, the 15s is handy for TV commercials (also use PlayOn recorder) and works all the time. Weird big PAUSE icon fills the middle of the screen anytime the progress bar is on..Version: 20.6
Almost perfect but really need ranged selection, flat view,exif search/copy, non xmp ratingThis is the best smb file browser tool but i wish these features to be added. Also exif search and be able to copy exif TIFF, description,comment. theres no copy button , only ok. These are really important me for as an ai image creator to copy, search my prompts. id consider paying for pro if these ever get added. thanks.Version: 26.0
LEAPS over the other appsThis app does it all and is very simple and clear cut to,operate. Unlike another popular app that has ratings in the thousands, yet it was like pulling teeth to find how to maneuver to my local network drives. When I finally did get there, I couldn’t see the external,hard drives connected to that network computer. I instantly deleted it and was glad I had purchased this one. It is easy and it automatically shows the external drives without having to fuss around..Version: 20.27
All I want…. Nothing I don’t.I only wanted to view and /or share photos on my studio computer when I’m with a client, and am working with an iPhone or iPad. Don’t need to control the desktop, just be able to scroll through my files. I know FBGo does more, but this was an incredible value for the speed, interface and service this app offers, even for the one feature I’m using it for. Works seamlessly with their recommended VPN service, ZeroTier..Version: 20.38
Unknown file typeSo I downloaded this app so I can transfer pictures and files between apps and for some reason, some of my image files are of unknown type but images in other folders are perfectly fine and show that they are normal and they work. Out of like 6 folders like half of my images are an unknown type which is strange because in other file apps they show as images. Also, I wish there was access to Google photos..Version: 20.19
File size missingYou have a great package. But no file size settings. When looking at Live Photo-s, they showed as height x width. Sometimes I could fiddle with a file and have it display its file size. No config settings re sizes either. This is a good file folder app, but to have to subscribe to it? Can’t you just sell it or a reduced capacity version for a few bucks?.Version: 20.9
The best file management app without doubtMakes it extremely easy to access local files on any drive, server or computer in addition to remote devices or cloud providers. Great app and loaded with features. The pro version is worth it and full of value..Version: 26.3
Good generallyGood generally, but becomes a storage issue as its size doesn't seem to go down after you delete large files..Version: 20.39
The only reliable way to transfer files from my Apple products into my net workThis is the most reliable way I have found it to successfully get files transferred around my Netwerk storage locations and devices.Version: 20.47
Best file manager ever!!!Most efficient design of all file managers! Tab layout allows for fast file copy and move operations by having both source and destination folders open at same time. Lets you go back & forth between multiple locations easily. Move feature is extremely helpful to limit duplicate files everywhere! Also alerts when there's duplicated filenames so you don't overwrite. Gives option to automatically rename! Simply way, way ahead of anything else and I've tried them all!.Version: 20.37
Excellent App but needs some features.This app solved the many problems Apple created in order to “keep your phone secure”. I rate it excellent with several suggestions to the developers: 1-. It needs a counter so you will know how many files were copied/total files to be copied. 2-. A sync/bak pause option will be very useful specially when you copy a large amount of files. 3-. HEIC conversion option is a must. Other than that, is the best backup/sync app I have found in the App Store. And price is very reasonable..Version: 25.1
Please bring back the Folder Info optionI love the amount of customizable settings, however, you need to pay to just to open a file. That’s a little much. Maybe allow us to have some basic functions, but put some of the custom settings behind the paywall. Just a suggestion.Version: 23.6
Difficulty finding networked devicesThis program is not capable of finding all of the files stored on my phone. It is also not capable of finding a single Windows device on my net work by scanning for them. I was able to enter devices manually and access the files that way..Version: 23.9
Very usefulOffers an easy way to connect to and use Mac, PC, and Linux file resources from a mobile device. Access to media like mp3, video, and picture resources is a snap, like having mounted drives on the mobile system. Two thumbs up..Version: 13.0
Best file manager!… and I’ve used a few in my life. This is possibly the only file manager that allows you to manipulate files across S3, ftp, sabma, and online services clients seamlessly on iOS devices.Version: 23.9
Pictures from NASSo far working well. Allows me to setup an iPad to attach to my NAS. Select multiple picture and video folders and display as a slide show..Version: 24.16
Perfect!Wonderful app. Wouldn’t want to be without it. Use it primarily for transferring files between Dropbox and Google Drive and my iPad and phone. Use it to play movies and music..Version: 20.35
Amazing app... only on iPad thoughWorks perfectly on the iPad, but iPhone version always freaking crashes when trying to work with the file management features after a few short seconds. Extremely irritating..Version: 15.1
Really useful toolThere’s a lot here that works great. I find the tool very helpful. I would *love* a way to see the full path when working in a tree structure..Version: 16.0
App lock for TV neededCan you add an app lock to the TV app please?.Version: 26.3
GoodPlease add the option to hide permissions in list mode for the SFTP location..Version: 25.9
Best App to Access Time CapsuleI searched the app for time capsule browser on a iPad. This is that. Wow!.Version: 20.35
Why change what works?Sorry, GUI, once intuitive, is now suddenly an unwelcome and unnecessary sea change. Come on guys, dance with who brung you! If it ain’t broke ....Version: 20.0
Exactly what I need!Works Great! Well thought out app!.Version: 15.5
Dark modeIt would be better if the release notes with every update wasn’t a full bright white screen when I’m set to dark mode. Otherwise great app..Version: 25.10
Great toolGood tool for my iPad. Of course isn’t free but also isn’t expensive. For the use which I used daily the yearly price is right. Just advise for the developer, please add more formats for the player like avi, xvid..Version: 23.0
Does not work with afpI mean, yes it’s old, but it’s Apple and airport are still on the protocol.Version: 23.1
Great App 👍Just started using this, after another app had a bug the developers couldn’t fix. So far, this app is great. Lots more features than I personally need, but better to have more than less 😊 Thanks.Version: 23.0
This app is incredibleI’ve never seen such use of an app like this before, this is honestly an amazing idea. The price point is so good too, I’ll definitely be subscribing.Version: 20.32
Amazing appI don’t think I’ve ever seen another app that provides as much value as this does for the tiny sum you have to pay. I can’t believe I never knew about it all these years. This would have helped me so much in the past if I had known about it..Version: 20.27
Simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!Wow. I can't believe this app is still releasing updates even for a potato device such as, an iPad3. Long live the developer! Please keep catering this 'niche market' that upgrades only after killing their current device--no matter how long it takes, gotta squeeze every bit of life out of it! I remember that long line-up outside Apple's retail store; and those post-purchase weeks; living off PBJ sandwiches. I'm glad that you've included us, the outdated consumers in your target-market; I remember purchasing a full version of FileBrowser, but not sure how to get it back--so, I tried this one, and it's simply amazing! I'm ❤️ it! - USER-FRIENDLY layout. - Any STORAGE(remote and local) that you can think of, is integrated. - Essential and Advance and Privacy SETTINGS, APP PREFERENCES, FEATURES nicely put together without over-whelming the user. - SECURITY in place(password) for both Admin and User profiles. If I could summarize the FileBrowserGo app in one word, it would be: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!.Version: 20.19
File BrowserServes my storage purposes very well!!.Version: 20.17
Very useful!FileBrowserGO has improved the way I manage my files! I appreciate that the “on my iPhone” folder exists, so I can easily move my collection of FLAC files to and from the app. Well worth the monthly fee!.Version: 20.15
Bon appli qui fait ce qu’il fautExcellente appli qui rempli mes attente. Rapide et conviviale. Est-ce que la version complète comprends une fonction de synchronisation pour une utilisation comme un Local Cloud..Version: 20.12
FantasticI have over 10,000 photos on a home network file server and just wanted a program I could point to a folder and have it find all the photos and photos in sub folders and display them as a slide show on my iPad. Works perfectly! I’m enjoying my photos for the first time on my iPad as a digital picture frame. Also let’s me delete photos from the file server right from my iPad. Fantastic app!.Version: 16.7
Sees files on phone and those shared on network resources.No problems encountered - flawless..Version: 16.6
Excellent !FileBrowserGO offre de nombreuses fonctions dont je ne soupçonnais pas l’existence jusqu’à ce que j’en fasse l’essai. L’application fonctionne remarquablement bien. Aucun reproche. J’opte pour la formule avec abonnement — à un coût très raisonnable — qui permet d’accéder à des fonctions supplémentaires bien utiles..Version: 16.6
Great app @ around $ 5.00Great app to copy files like pics, screen shots etc from IPhone to network storage, but u need to commit to subscription B4 U can try it . “Decide later” option, will not let U try it. I took the risk and it works great though. Also after U subscribe 2 weeks free, so I guess U can cancel and pay nothing if it doesn’t work. But it did. Great app otherwise. N.B when u go and paste u have the option to make a new folder that U can paste into. It is not an option B4, so u think U can’t make a new folder in the location u want to copy or move items to..Version: 14.8
Works great with Linux serverI have a Linux server at home which is installed on a small pc. I wanted to find a way to access this server from the mobile phone. FileBrowserGO is perfect for that..Version: 14.6
Great app and customer service!This app works really great, making browsing for files on an iOS just like that on a computer. I had a hiccup and their customer support got back to me right away! It’s also nice that unlike so many other trial subscription applications they don’t go into auto renew as soon as the trial ends, which shows that this company has integrity!.Version: 12.7
Great but slowLove the app! Tons of functionality, but I can’t believe how slow it is when it comes to moving or copying or even deleting files! I’ve never experienced this kind of slowness for these activities in any app. Like I said, other than that it’s great.Version: 14.4
Finally, a great file managerI have tried many file manager apps and this is the best. it is very easy to use, very fast, works seamlessly on my PC based network (works so well with my NAS), strong media player and seems pretty glitch free. I have only had this a short time - I will return to comment if I run into any shortcomings. I try to avoid paying for apps but I will gladly shell out the small subscription fee ($6 a year) once the trial period is over. Well done to whoever created this..Version: 13.3
Best purchase for iPad, and iPhone I have ever madeI checked out apps to transfer files from my pc to nas to ipad (and the other way as well) while I was considering getting an iPad 4 I found Filebrowser and read all the information I could find on it. It looked like it would meet my needs. I would not have purchased an iPad without Filebrowser's capabilities. I purchase the iPad and the Filebrowser as my first app. I have been very happy with Filebrowser and have liked the updates made to Filebrowser over the last few years. I now use it on my iPhone SE as well. Filebrowser has been my best purchase for iOS. I would highly recommend everyone in the iOS environment to get Filebrowser! . ..Version: 9.2
I almost love this appThe network shares functionality works beautifully. There is only one thing preventing me from buying the paid version: the complete lack of picture browsing. If you have a gallery of photos, there's just no way this app will let you slide through a folder like the native iPhone photo gallery..Version: 2.5
Did Exactly What I Needed It To DoAllowed me to browse files on my time capsule and save them in Dropbox..Version: 5.8
AnnoywareTried to test this app before purchasing the full version but it interrupted me and itself so many times that it was impossible to tell if it would ever work at all..Version: 9.0
Major drawbacksThis is a very nice and very full featured file manager, yet with all the features it has, it has a couple major drawbacks/problems. The main one is that the view/sort settings (i.e. list or grid, and sort/display order) apply to all folders and devices. In other words, if you want to view your photos as a grid (screen full of thumbnails) sorted by most recently taken, yet you want to view your files on dropbox or anywhere as a list of files sorted by name, you can’t, you can only have one setting that applies to everything. Unbelievable and extremely inconvenient having to constantly change these settings, even though they put a button for it in the menu bar on each screen. They also talk about photos having no need to take up space on your phone/ipad, yet unlike every single other similar app I’ve looked at, even including apps like DropBox, this app has no facility to automatically upload new photos to another location, you have to remember which you have transferred and then manually select and transfer them. Again a serious lacking feature. Other than that, the interface needs a bit of work, with things like most screens having a down arrow in upper left corner as well as a home button in lower right, which both do exactly the same thing, and some screen having a big close button instead of a down arrow, not a very consistent interface. The app does have a great many features that other apps do not, but for me, the most important aspect must be a good quality file manager/browser, and the inability to set the view/sort for different devices (let alone different folders on a device) makes it just too awkward and unpleasant to use. Add to that no auto photo/vid upload (like all other apps have), and this app get dropped from my list of suitable basic file managers/browsers..Version: 7.5
Works greatYou can browse any files on Windows shares. No ads, just a limitation to one saved server and you can only stream mp4 videos, which is quite generous..Version: 3.0.1
Very nice but ...The new version is very good. The only drawback is that it does not support mkv format, which is very standard nowadays. The ability to open with another app is not useful when you have to wait for the app to download the movie locally before able to open it in another app. An example is like FileExplorer has all-in-one capability. Hopefully future version will include mkv format along w/ external title support. Thanks.Version: 5.1
Great network appGreat application to browse network files. No hassle worked first time I used it and I used it remotely over a VPN connection. Easy setup and no adds..Version: 2.6
Great app!Works exactly as advertised. No hassle..Version: 2.6
Finally!Finally an app that makes it easy to browse files shared on my pc. The free version only supports image and PDF files but that is all I currently need. I hope future releases will include new features like slide-show of all pictures Ina folder or a way to enable creating thumbnails when browsing shares of pictures. This is a very handy and useful app..Version: 0
Great app, need improvementThis is THE app I'm looking for to access my files on PC. Would buy the full version if it has thumbnail view of files in folder and when file is openned, flip to go to the previous/next files, especially for photo files..Version: 2.5
Great, needs work on image browsingBrilliant app and easy to set up. Would rate a 5 and buy the full version if it were able to browse images as oppose to opening, then closing back to list then opening new. Sliding left/right for prev/next images and a slideshow feature would be brilliant..Version: 2.5
For a lite version it's awesomeEven though you only have access to PDF and images, it does the work giving you a look of your network files.Version: 0
Great ProgramGreat Program except that it doesn't allow you to copy over all files, it would be great to be able to just copy files back and forth regardless if the iPhone can read or display them or not. I don't think you can do that in the pro version ether..Version: 0
