User Reviews for FE File Explorer Pro

Needs tabs!

Overall, I’m very happy with FE File Explorer. I have a handful of networked shares mapped spanning SMB, OSX, and WebDAV, and i use it daily to manage files between my iOS and PC/Mac devices. It does everything i need it to do. One annoyance: the built-in video player uses a non-standard UI which doesn’t give me the control I expect. Also, sometimes when moving files between folders, i find that i really want a tabbed file browser so that i can have multiple locations open simultaneously. This is not a criticism but rather a suggestion to make the app even better.

Great App!

I recently found an AirPort Extreme 5th gen and was excited to find that you could access files wirelessly if you plugged a flash drive into it. However, I did some research and found out that it uses an older version of something called SMB, and that it wasn’t compatible with the native iOS files app. I did some more research and found this app, which has been absolutely perfect for my needs and is totally worth the money. Another plus is the fact that you can link other storage providers too, so it can serve as complete replacement to the native files app, which I have already deleted. Last thing: It supports dark mode, drag and drop, and integration with the native files app and you can access NAS files without this app being open. The free version does not support integration so if you were looking for that in the free, consider this one. That’s all, thanks for reading!

Great features

I was a little concerned about downloading the new update. I use the app to pull videos I am working on from my server, and the old video player UI worked perfectly for me. No issues, though, I love the new update. I have to skip around the videos to find certain parts of the speech to analyze, so I used the 15 second jumps and the finger drag skipping all the time. Having the 15 second jumps on the side instead of the bottom makes my process a lot easier since I can more easily hit them to repeat a small section without having to move my hand over the screen, blocking part of the my view and causing a lot of extra movement. That probably doesn’t apply to many people but I wanted the dev to know it helped me out.For others, this is a great app. You can connect to a ton of different cloud services and network shares, and moving files around is pretty slick once you get used to it. It works really well to help get around the limitations of the iOS file system. Video and photo players work very well, so you don’t have to bounce between apps. If you need to open something in another app instead, you can do that as well. I have used it for several years and the dev has always made useful updates and kept all of the features that I use working. A+ from me.

Better than built-in File app in every aspect

I’ve been using this app for three years. I used this app for accessing my files on NAS when I bought this because the system version File app wasn’t there in iOS 11 or so. When iOS 12 came out I knew it also got FTP feature and considering it is an Apple software, I used the File app as an replacement for a while. However, it’s probably the most buggy software that I’ve used, even with the very limited things you can do with it. I quickly swapped back to this app and everything just works as it should be.Another problem that encountered recently that could be solved easily with this app was importing photos from computer. I have no idea why half of my photos went disappeared from importing via iTunes. I had to first import to this app via file transfer and then import to photos by copying to album. It will be more time-consuming but at least you wouldn’t lose your photos.

Pretty Outstanding, But Could Be Improved

FE File Explorer Pro is pretty outstanding, currently being the best one of the players with the SMB protocol support I have used so far. However, there is still some room for improvement. For one thing, it would be great if you added support for *.iso video files. Second and last, you could also consider adding a „Recent” category that would include a specified number of the recently played files - the total number of the recently played files included in that category could be adjustable in the app settings, for the purpose of both how many of the recently played files an individual user would like there to be, as well as for the purpose of having the amount of cache used under control should such record keeping took up any amount of cache.

Clean and simple

I have a NAS at home for file storage and needed to access it from my phone. It was a snap to set up, the interface is clean and intuitive.I had a question for the developers because I wasn’t seeing hidden files. They responded quickly and pointed me to the individual connection’s settings (not the general app settings, which I guess is nice).On the iPad I did have a lot of issues where I was scrolling through directories with a large number of folders, and some were disappearing. I realized I must have been touching a folder just right and was dragging and dropping it into another folder instead of scrolling through the directory! Luckily, there’s a setting to disable drag and drop functionality, which I would suggest be made the default setting. You can still move folders through another edit menu, so it’s still possible to move things more “safely” in a touch environment.

Great app, but...

This is one of the best file manager apps in the App Store (I’ve purchased multiple of them). It is feature-rich, yet user friendly.One feature that is missing is that there is no option to password-protect folders, which is a necessity for me. I would love to see this feature added in a future update (with the ability to assign a different password to the folder than the app startup password), so that I do not need to continue to rely on the inferior file manager app I’m currently using just for this feature.Another issue I have with the app is the requirement to set up two security questions and answers when you opt to use a password. If I can’t remember my password, the responsibility is my own. I don’t want there to be a way to reset it. With that comes the risk that someone else who gains access to my phone could also reset the password and get into the app. I realize that many people probably like this feature, but setting up security questions and answers as a means of resetting the password should be optional, not mandatory.If the ability to password-protect folders was added, and setting up security questions & answers was an option rather than a requirement, this would be a 5-Star app, and I would gladly switch from the file manager I’m using to File Explorer.

Great integration with iOS files app

I find myself using this app more and more now. it works well with iOS 11 files app. I can now easily get files off my home NAS from many apps like Pythonista or Working Copy using File Explorers file provider feature. This pushes the app over the top for me and makes it something I use often to get copies of my current projects for reference while on a plane. I can move things around and back to NAS later if I make changes. It’s a feature set the Apple should provide but we all know they never will and would do a crummy job if they tried. FE is updated often and worth supporting because it’s a real tool for real work.

One App to Rule All the Files

The industries in which I operate require the 'Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner' method of file management; files, files everywhere. FileExplorer Pro is the best app I have encountered for managing this neural network from my mobile device. The app supports webDAV, an incredible number of cloud-based file sharing services, ftp, sftp, several NAS-based storage file shares, and computer OS file shares. Configuration is quick and simple. It can accommodate custom configurations as long as you can supply the security information. The app is reasonably priced, and it can quickly become your go to tool for safely and securely getting files where you need them while on the go.

Best app for SMB media streaming!

Absolutely everything done in this app is executed properly. Loads quick, video UI is beautiful and very functional, plenty of great options for playback as well. The music player works well and the picture slideshow is a great option too. I’ve tried quite a few apps for Samba streaming and this one knocks them all out of the park! Best $5 ever spent.I hope the devs can expand with a few QoL features to elevate this to a greater media center app to make up for the lack of Kodi app on iOS. The options I hope to see in the future is being able to mark a file or folder as played, and loading metadata info from the directory/locally for thumbnails. That way it is easier to keep track of what to watch, listen, view, or read.BIG THANKS!!! To the developers! I’ll be using this app for years to come!
