Owlfiles - File Manager App Comments & Reviews
Owlfiles - File Manager Positive Reviews
Good experienceVery good and simple app to use. Easy to navigate to save my files from other apps. The only issue I have with the app is playing audio file. When you open an audio file to play, the app doubles the time. For example, if the audio is 5 mins, when you open it, the app will present it as 10 mins and when the 5 mins is reached on the play mode, the audio stops and runs the other 5 additional mins with no sound, later before it changes to the next file. You could imagine what happens a 50mins, 1hr, 1:30hrs file; it would double up the time as 1:40mins, 2hrs, 3hrs respectively. It really distorts putting the play on an automatic changing of audio. I would be glad if this could be worked on asap. Thank you..Version: 11.0.2
Excellent AppI have Synology NAS and I wanted an app that could display thumbnails and full pictures on both the NAS using my own directory structure as well as on my IPAD. I tried at least six different apps and none of them filled the bill. I also have a lot of music stored on the NAS and I can quickly search my music to get anything in the title. I had also always had the artist in the title so I can quickly search for the artist. The app plays the music or will automatically stream pictures to my IPAD or television through my IPAD. I truly think I have found a great app. Thank you developer..Version: 11.0.2
Uploading Files, GREAT! Viewing not so muchIf your looking for an app to be able to view SMB files or offload files onto a NAS or something like that. It’s great in that sense! Im able to offload pictures and videos from my phone at a slow speed but it gets the job done. I can add folders, drag and drop files into folders and etc. The problem is video playback. If a file is VERY compressed it will play the video no problem. But if the video is long and not very compressed or is 4K 60 (even 1080p 60) this app just struggles to play it. Before anyone says it’s my server or my network it’s not. This app maxes out at 1Mbps when receiving information. I watched the server statistics when using this app, to troubleshoot and it was only sending out again, 1Mbps. Meaning this app is limiting its intake. When watching those same videos on a computer, they run flawlessly. It’s only this app I have the issue on. However, photo viewing and music playing with this app does work great, no problems at all. But that would be expected as there smaller file sizes. Overall this is a very good app and does what I mainly need it to do. Offload videos and photos from my phone. I just wish the playback for videos was better. Again that totally seems fixable on the developers end..Version: 13.1
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!Spent 2 hours trying to figure a way to offload my videos from my iPhone onto my NAS. It’s a sad realization that we’ve come to a point where even the simplest capabilities afforded to us by decades of operating systems, like local network file sharing, has been taken away and or made difficult, so that we have to subscribe to a service. This app asks for nothing and lets you deal with your files as you wish. Super fast, intuitive, and clean. Just like the old days. Dumped about 20 gigs over my WiFi. No errors..Version: 11.0.2
Good but doesn’t really “transfer” filesFile Explorer is the best file manager I’ve found to work with my NAS. However, it doesn’t really “transfer” files to the NAS, it can only copy them leaving me to remember which files I copied in order to manually delete them. It doesn’t even leave the selected files “checked” after the copy process is done (not the best solution but better than my memory)! I’m still waiting for an update that will transfer pics and files which is absolutely necessary in order to manage storage on my iPad and iPhone! When that is done I would happily give this app 5 stars!.Version: 11.0.2
Allows File Transfer from Nas to IpadThis app allows file transfer from your nas or other network connected device to the iPad. Other apps require you to be at your desktop computer to move files between the iPad and the desktop computer or Nas. This app allows the iPad to initiate the file transfer, which is great if your desktop is on another floor from where you use the iPad. I use it often. As another reviewer said it will also play music files outside of iTunes..Version: 7.1.2
Consistent problemIt’s a good app allowing me to transfer files from my phone iPad to my Windows file system and lets me manage the files on my network but it has a consistent problem when I rename directories on my network where after renaming the directory I get a subsequent message that the directory can’t be found when I try to take subsequent actions like deleting the directory or copying it. I now have many directories that show up that I can’t get rid of. Very weird because I can copy the files contained in the directory to another location but can’t rename or delete the directory even when I access the directory directly from file manager in Windows..Version: 9.4.2
The perfect app for browsing network sharesI have been searching for a good one for forever and this is it. Because this is the free version there are some limitations and I completely understand, and depending on how often I end up using this app I’ll buy it. My one feature request is for video and audio files, for the app to remember where you left off and ask if you would like to resume from there or start over..Version: 8.2
Great for managing network files and playing MP3’sVery nice app. I use it to move and manage files on my Windows server and to play MP3’s. Only a few things make it a 4, not a 5. 1. It’s too easy to move a folder or file to a folder. Very similar to the scroll flick. Wish it gave an “are you sure?”. 2. I wish it remembered where I was playing a song or where I was browsing for the next time I open the app. A resume or even a “most recent” file/folder list. 3. I wish there was a “play the next folder” continue option along with repeats. As it is, I can’t play more than an album at once from the folders. Other than those three issues, I have no complaints. In fact, if those three were fixed, I’d probably pay for the full version. As it is, I’m still searching. But, those are nit picky... If you need network file management, this is worth the download. Great app with minimal nags!.Version: 8.1.2
Powerful, and solid supportI was using this as a replacement for Music app because Apple Music doesn’t do what I want it to do, and VLC sometimes won’t show my music. But I washabing trouble in Owlfiles playing back AIFF files. The support team was able to help me fix this issue by adding it as an associated filetype in Settings! I’ve also grown more and more impressed with the app as I’ve used it. It’s had very few glitches and had a nice built in server which makes transfering files to and from my iphone very easy..Version: 12.0.2
Awesome appI got this app to delete & move files on a remote Windows-based NAS on my network from my iPhone. It's works great for deleting the files. Setup was very easy and the UI is extremely simple and easy to navigate (unless your a brain washed Windows user). I was deleting files within 2 minutes after downloading! However I cannot seem to move files from one folder to another. Until it can do this simple function I cannot give it 5 stars, but otherwise a gem of an app! Well done developers, well done!.Version: 6.1
Great for using file sharesThis is a great utility for what it claims to do: browse and use files on file shares. I use it with SMB (Windows) shares, although everything works so well I have no reason to think that the others wouldn't work great as well. Only problem with it is I see little reason so for to upgrade to Pro other than getting rid of the nag message. I am inclined to though just to support the author for putting out a solid utility!.Version: 8.1.4
MacOS Connection IssueInstalled the App on my iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Pro, configured the file sharing on my MacMini. iPhone’s Owlfiles works perfectly to connect the MacOS share without any issue. However, my iPad cannot connect to the host for some reason. Kept having host cannot be reached/resolved issue. (I have the same Apple ID, WiFi across my iPhone, iPad and MacMini) Tried to troubleshoot this by reset my iPad Network but no luck. I tested from another SSH app on my iPad which has no problem to reach the host (MacMini) of the same IP, which means the IP routing is correct..Version: 12.1.1
Love the appLove the app i just wish that there was an option for larger thumbnails and when you go to rename a file it would be nice if the cancel and ok options were moved further down. It might be just me but I’ve accidentally canceled renaming my files tons of times just trying to drag the cursor to the beginning of the file name. Other than those small gripes everything works and it looks nice.Version: 9.2
So ready to buy..This is one of those free apps I have lost myself in! Yes it’s super limited but I only have one laptop so it’s been very entertaining & a massive learning experience! I enjoy this app & the FTP app very much - they teach you a lot if u dk what the heck you’re doing and helped me clean a huge amount of trash hidden away in the icloud. $11 or so for such great control over whatever file or folder u can think of? You got it!.Version: 9.0.1
WOWNeeded a file manager that would access my home shared folders from my iPhone that was different than the built in “Files” app that iPhones have. This program is amazing. Such a great design and layout! Couldn’t ask for a better app for what I needed. Yes it is $2.99 a month (there is a yearly fee or a forever) but it is worth it. Great job..Version: 12.5.1
Fast forward next buttonVideo viewer could be better. Why is it so hard to include a video viewer button that fast forward 15 sec or 30 sec at a time when you tap it. Videos are long so this is a good way of searching. No one uses the fast forward next button to go to next video anymore. They back out and go to next video on list, that option should be absolute. Include that button that forwards 15 sec and I will buy this program..Version: 8.0.2
An Indispensable Tool for Routine ActivitiesI have been using File Explorer for 4 or 5 years and have really gotten a lot from it. I have a home based server on which I have music, videos and documents and I have File Explorer on my iPhone. I can be anywhere in the world and access any of those files. One of the best features is to pull up a video and airplay it to a TV. I have a VPN and File Explorer has a link which allows me to make a connection easily without having to remember logins and passwords. If airplay isn’t available then I can connect an HDMI to the phone and connect directly to the TV. File Explorer is very stable and I can’t recall anytime that it hasn’t worked flawlessly!.Version: 9.2
Good for network files, but not local filesVERY limited support for accessing local files, only access is manuals and photos. Cannot access downloads, documents or other local content. I give it 3 stars for network access especially for my NAS, but I'd really like to be able to copy local files to network servers. Not very intuitive to use, but you get used to the dumbed down Apple interface soon, especially if you are coming from a PC environment..Version: 6.1
Much better than native Files appThis allows me to browse my samba NAS much better than the native Files app. Files has massive problems loading large folders of photography, making it basically unusable for me (Yes, I have samba’s Mac compatibility module running). This app works quickly, and thumbnails work quickly, great!.Version: 10.1.4
It’s a must for your filesKnowing where your files are but not always able to access them is a real pain. But using Owl files and can find all of them in one place. Especially those not on any cloud service and are locked on the home system.Version: 13.1
The best app I ever installed in my phoneMuch better than other apps. Easy to use, and filled with all the features i need. I no longer need to connect my iPhone to transfer files thanks to this app. I would add one more star if I could because of the developers’ privacy policy. Compared to other apps, this app respects the user’s privacy..Version: 8.3.1
Way better than Files appThis app is so much faster, more reliable and easier to use than the Files app built in to iOS. Really good app, would recommend. Only complaint is that once you complete an action in the select menu, it doesn’t exit the select menu automatically..Version: 9.2.3
Needs improvementI brought the Apple TV version of this app. There are two things that I do not like. First, you cannot open any pdf file. That is not a big deal for me. Second, you cannot use the remote control to forward 10 seconds when you are watching movies (avi or mkv format). That feature is only supported for mp4 or mov files. If you can fix it I will give you 5 stars. Other than that, I love the iPad version..Version: 9.0.1
Thank you!I’m not sure why anyone gave this a one star review. This app is much better than the built-in iOS files app. I’ve used it to transfer hundreds of gigabytes to my Vision Pro where the Files app would frequently be failing and leaving partial downloads..Version: 13.1.2
This is a good app.Though I haven’t had a chance to use the upgraded version, this app has some potential and overall is a good file explorer. It could use a few more features like file conversion or codecs for reading Windows Media but maybe that’s just an idiosyncrasies of IOS, just a thought....Version: 9.4.2
Great photo and file backup appI love b being about to back up my files photos to my ftp server. I can stream/modify/and favorite anything there. Keep up the good work. Also, love the auto backup feature, leaves little for me to do to keep everything backed up..Version: 12.3.1
Supports Files app and HTTP serverI tried several apps and this is the only one that supports the Files app and has a built-in HTTP and FTP server, so you can easily upload and download from any device on the wifi network. The servers are hidden in the settings menu but they work..Version: 10.0.1
Easy to use with Network Storage...I tried as many of File management programs I could find and even the Free version of this program exceeded all other programs I tried to access my NAS setup. I don't hesitate giving it 5 stars it's in a class all by its self. For my use it is the best ❗️👍.Version: 8.2
Simple and effective!I really love this app. I just wish the UI when playing videos would look much more nicer on iPh X. The top and bottom bars don’t reach to the sides of the phone and it’s a bit uneasy to look at on X. Also the subtitles will just stuck there when you fast forward a video. If i want the subtitles right,I had to close the video and forward it to where i want. I could get to add subtitles back on only after that Other than those issues, it’s a great app. I’ll upgrade to pro version anyway cause i find it convenient and really love it..Version: 8.0
Great for accessing home NAS serverTo save Internet data usage, I have a private 'cloud' on my Buffalo NAS server as well as my backups. I use it to move files between 3 Win 10 PCs and 2 iPhones. It's trivial to set up the share in Windows, but FileExplorer is the best I have found to let the iPhones join in..Version: 8.1.4
Best App EverThe best NAS file explorer I ever found. You guys did a wonderful job created this app. Works amazing and even the music stream continues on off screen and songs can be changed using air pod or Bluetooth controlled device. Just amazing. Thanks so much ..Version: 11.0.2
Great app! I use it a lot.I haven’t used tons of its features, mostly just using it to connect to my samba server. It works great, and I love the audio playback features! I don’t usually review apps, but I decided to for this one!.Version: 12.5.1
Fix video playbackOverall great app. Would recommend to everyone. However when playing video over NAS the screen can dim and then turn off. Please fix..Version: 12.3.1
Opened PDF files from a shared Win10 folder.I was able to open files across the network using my old iPad running iOS 12.5.5. I was surprised it was so easy. No learning curve, it simply worked..Version: 11.0.1
Excellent bridge between file systemsProvides an excellent bridge between iPad and other cloud and OS file systems. Browse and read supported files, share files between other native reading applications.Version: 10.1.4
Amazing AppI was confused at first when this got on my phone but then I realized it was a update of file explorer but it’s a amazing app it’s still different from file explorer but it’s a little easier to use.Version: 12.0.3
Smooth and EfficientConnects and moves files seamlessly between my phone and my home network storage drive. No need to use a computer..Version: 11.0.2
Almost perfect, butI want to backup my camera roll to a pc folder in a regular basis. it contains more then 2k photos and videos in total, but only a few are newly added. this app can’t skip duplicate items automatically, can’t continue automaticity after network temporarily disconnected..Version: 7.1.3
Sagm4657Almost perfect! The file management is fast and fluid, one of the best I've seen on the App Store. I would just like to see the ability to have the video player repeat a single video on loop, in addition to auto-playing the next video. That would make it a 5-star for me!.Version: 7.1.2
Great App to Access network filesI have several word and excel files on a Dell desktop that I reference. This app allows me to view those files on my iPad. It works seamlessly without a glitch. I highly recommend this ap..Version: 7.1.2
This app is amazing!If I ever forget to export anything to my iPad, I can easily hop onto the app and click on my PC, navigate through my PC files and save the picture or whatever I was looking for. Plus, I don’t have to keep sending emails to myself anymore. This app is amazing, would recommend 100%.Version: 9.2.2
AnnoyingThe fact that this app constantly bothers you to upgrade is the very reason I refuse to buy it, otherwise I would consider it even not being perfect..Version: 11.0.4
Wonderful…wonderful…just wonderfulIts very good to transfer files from ipad to a windows laptop wirelessly. Only disadvantage is its slow and it can be very tricky to connect at first. I always have a hard time connecting them and that’s very inconvenient, but nonetheless its a very good app..Version: 11.0.2
Connect to every kind of storage or file sharingIt works best for MacOS which don’t remember your file sharing connections but owefiles does. Works under Windows too. Recommended.Version: 13.1
Please fixI love this app and have been using it for several years since before the rebranding on a different device, but lately there has been an issue where it would not let me see the subtitles properly. Whenever I try to see them they disappear and are not working properly. Please fix this problem and would be 5 stars.Version: 13.1
A must haveI use this app to backup my files to an external SSD connected to my router. This app does a great job. The developer support is also amazing and responds quickly with answers and solutions. I highly recommend it. Well done!.Version: 12.5.1
Essential appI’ve been with iOS for 10 years. This is the first app I install on new devices. Great file manager, allows you to play networked music and files, manipulate them. And once I had a question for the dev and they got back to me. Truly impressed. Highly recommended..Version: 12.4.3

So far is working very well thanksYea.Version: 11.0.2
This > Apple's File AppSo you can connect your SMB server to Apple's file app, pretty cool right?! But 90% of the time it shows "content unavailable due to unknown reason". This app, works like a bauss! Also has its inbuilt video player, if you are a student, and have lectures, books, pdfs download this app, worth it..Version: 10.2.2
NiceBuilt in servers are very useful to allow older devices to transfer to and from iPhone. Happy to see it available, job well done!.Version: 10.1.3
Good app!Very useful and handy. Plays .mp3 audio files nicely but doesn’t support .m4a files..Version: 10.1.4
Works goodEasy to use and quick Would love to see these suggestions: larger thumbnails for portrait phots (landscape okay right now), ability to sort photos by date taken not modified , ability to hide filename and date while scrolling for larger thumbnail, schedule auto backup at night on wifi and plugged in.Version: 10.0.1
Great app, could be enhancedI wish it was possible to ad/save a bookmark when playing a long video, at least in the Pro version. I run FE Pro on all my Apple TVs but not on iPhone so I cannot write a review for the Pro version.Version: 10.0.1
Need some improvement on the Apple TV appOn the IPad and IPhone we can access Google drive, One Drive, Dropbox..... This is not possible on the AppleTV version. Can you had this option on the next revision?.Version: 10.0.1
Perfect for accessing your filesI primarily use FE to access the music stored on my NAS (it even has a built-in player), but it’s also very easy to get to documents and other information. Definitely recommend! :).Version: 9.4.2
Inessantly demanding upgradesPurchased as an upgrade of the free version FE pro now demands further uograde for basic function. Decidedly misleading marketing!.Version: 9.5.1
WorksIt works, take a little bit to set up.Version: 9.4
Great app!Works great for file management etc. But watching an .MP4 file is absolutely unusable which is why I’m giving this app 4 stars. Setup my Windows connection in seconds. But the network neighborhood selection lies under the keyboard which makes it hidden. Great app! 👍🏻.Version: 9.4.2
Good App!I like the app, it’s simple and functional, you can edit text files right from the app. Thanks for fixing IPv6..Version: 8.0.1
Ugly playerDoes the job. I’d buy it if the music player was nicer..Version: 8.2
Works but Limited for freeI’ve been looking for an app to access my WD NAS and this does the trick. The free app only allows connecting to one device (lots of nagging to upgrade), but so far it’s doing the job adequately on my local LAN..Version: 8.1.1
HugOpen open OPEN OKIE OMG OKIE.Version: 7.1.3
Very functional app, network, play moviesVery good app. It can access my home network via wifi, and play movies.Version: 7.1.2
Fonctionne parfaitement pour les fichiers audiosParfait.Version: 7.1.2

I like itApparently doesnt like to open yml files but does it anyways. except for starred files. this app will not open those files if they are yml. please fix!!!.Version: 6.1
Excellent app!Excellent app.Version: 6.1
So far so goodWorks great. Can use it to see files on my windows machine. Works fast and easy..Version: 6.0.1
