NFS Files – NAS Drive Client

NFS Files is the fast, focused NFS client for iPhone and iPad. Connect to any NAS, Raspberry Pi, Linux server, or Mac that shares folders over NFS — and get to your files in seconds.

BUILT FOR NFS, NOT BURIED IN MENUS Most file managers bolt NFS on as an afterthought. NFS Files does one thing well: it finds your servers, shows your shares, and gets out of the way.

• Automatic discovery — NFS servers on your network appear as you type • Find Shared Folders — the app asks your server for its export list, so you never guess paths like /volume1/media • Live status — green dots show which servers are reachable right now • Browse fast — folders first; sort by name, date, or size; instant search • Preview everything — photos, video, PDFs, and documents, with the system share sheet • Transfer both ways — download with progress, upload files and photos • Manage files — rename, delete, create folders, see free space • Works with Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, UGREEN, Unraid, Raspberry Pi, Linux, and macOS • iPhone and iPad, light and dark mode, no account required

SIMPLE, HONEST PROTOCOL SUPPORT NFS Files speaks NFSv3 — the version every NAS supports out of the box. No Kerberos, no domain, no accounts to manage: your server decides who connects by network address.

RECOMMENDED SERVER SETUP NFS has no passwords — your server grants access by network address, and iPhone apps connect from standard (non-privileged) ports. For the smoothest, safest setup on a Linux server or Pi, export your share like:

/srv/share 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,insecure,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)

• insecure — required for iPhone/iPad apps (they can't use privileged ports) • your subnet instead of * — only devices on your network can connect • all_squash + anonuid — every client acts as one designated user, so your personal account stays private and access is easy to revoke • On Synology, enable "Allow connections from non-privileged ports" in the shared folder's NFS permissions

If a connection is refused, the app tells you exactly which of these to fix.

SPEED WHERE IT COUNTS A native, from-scratch NFS engine tuned for modern networks — server-negotiated transfer sizes, instant directory listings, and smooth large-file downloads over gigabit.

FREE, WITH AN AD-FREE UPGRADE NFS Files is free and supported by ads. Prefer a clean, uninterrupted experience? A one-time NFS Files Pro upgrade removes all ads forever — no subscription.

Server won't connect? Every error message tells you exactly what to fix — the right port option, the export setting, the user ID — so you're never left guessing.
