User Reviews

Users praise FileBrowser Pro as a powerful, feature-rich manager with strong SMB/FTP/SFTP and cloud support, plus excellent iOS Files integration and active, supportive development. However, frequent complaints center on licensing confusion among similarly named apps, iPadOS/Finder-like restrictions, SMB reliability issues, slow file operations, and concerns about backup reliability. Balancing these strengths and drawbacks, the app is highly capable but can be frustrating due to licensing, platform restrictions, and performance UX.
Pros
  • Powerful, feature-rich file manager with broad protocol support (SMB/FTP/SFTP) and cloud integrations for cross-device access.
  • Excellent integration with iOS Files and cloud storage, making it a strong alternative to Finder for many tasks.
  • Active development and solid customer support, with frequent updates and a focus on function over bloat.
  • Widely used and trusted for daily use across devices, aiding file organization and transfers.
  • Notable new capabilities (e.g., 360 viewer) that expand the app’s usefulness.
Cons
  • Confusing pricing/licensing with multiple similarly named products (e.g., Mac app, iPhone bundle), unclear listings and billing.
  • iPadOS Finder-like limitations: cannot browse all On My iPad folders and cannot view outside the app’s own folder.
  • SMB reliability and permissions issues, with some users needing to switch to SFTP to stabilize connections.
  • Performance/UX friction, such as slow rename/copy operations and long 'Examining file...' or 'Estimating time...' indicators.
  • Backup/restore reliability concerns and transparency, including data loss reports during crashes or cloud backup gaps.

This was the first app I purchased when I switched from Blackberry. It’s been completely perfect for me. It would be the absolute best app ever if there was a duplicate finder function in it.

Worst initial startup of all the apps I dealt with would like my money back

When I open a picture, it shows Expanding…, then crashes. I bought this app mainly for the picture slides feature, but it keeps crashing, crashing and crashing during the slide shows. I have restarted the iPad, shut down and turned back on, exit the app, uninstalled and reinstalled, none of them helped. When are you going to fix it?
