NFS Files – NAS Drive Client

The only iPhone app built just for NFS. Auto-discovers your NAS, lists shares for you, and gets to your files fast — no setup maze. Ad-free Pro upgrade inside.

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.
