Amazing

Been using this app since it’s beginnings and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! The creator of this app is genuine and has made regular upgrades to it. The fact that of everything you can do and it’s free?!? It’s unheard of today with apps in App Store. He has a donation section and lemme tell you it WILL be worth it and you will WANT to donate! Thank you to the developer for being an amazing person and human being and letting those of us who can’t afford monthly subscriptions to have the opportunity to do so!! I use this app all the time and it’s super important to me. I wish you the best in life and your kindness will be rewarded. I hope you continue to have the time to keep updating the app when life allows it. I have absolutely nothing bad to say ONLY positive things 💗

Es file explorer is holding my account hostage against my will.

This app holds my apple account hostage, blocking me from making any other purchases and even stops me from redeeming FREE PROMO codes until i pay the $7.50 for the subscription that i never wanted or used . I never authorized the charge to my account and now every time i Try to make a purchse or redeem codes a window pops up trying to charge me for es files exporer that blocks all other purchases and even blocks the redemption of free promo codes . When i request a refund to try and get rid of the window i am swiftly denied of course because there has been no transaction to refund , because i refuse to pay the unauthorized amount they continuously try to charge me . Apple support claims They cannot do anything about the transaction unless i pay them first and i dont have the money to pay Es file explorer and i refuse to pay even if i did . I never been able to over charge my account in the past so its beyond me how i can get a negative balance in the first place. So now im im a position where i have to pay the subscription charge for something i Never authorized or wanted or i have to delete my account and start a completely new account loosing all my personal data . So think twice before you even use a free trial from these folks because they may just take your apple account hostage just like mine and youll find yourself account hijacked just like me...

Wow! This app rocks! (but)

Great interface, fast, able to move large files around very easy and in the background which is very helpful when you don’t want to sit and watch file transfer bars all day. Two problems tho... the interface for setting up an smb for an airport time capsule doesn’t seem to match what info you can type in. it has a required space to type in a URL. well, my time capsule doesn’t give me a URL. inputting IP or .local doesn’t work. It’s too much to go into but a different app called REMOTE FILE MANAGER (QuickApps Inc) has a much simpler set up that’s almost automatically configured. It’s just not supported anymore for anything else really. Second, is an endless loop of a message when trying to connect to GoogleDrive that you need to configure GD to work with this app. No duh... HOW? it never takes you thru the steps of doing that. If anyone can enlighten me with the knowledge I am lacking, PLEASE DO!

Restricted by Apple design decisions, but...

Noticed some things that I haven't seen before. Under System Files, This app is showing me my photo library. I noticed something that I haven't seen another apps do with photos. This app identifies photos by number. When viewing a photo, at the top of the screen this app displays x/y, where x is the current photo's place in the list and y is the total number of photos. The list is in reverse chronological order. This is helpful to me when backing up thousands of photos using a sync/charge cable to a desktop computer. Thank you to Developer for adding SMB fileshare access alongside Google Drive access!!! Wishlist To Developer: can you give us the following under System Files? * a LIST VIEW alternative to just displaying by thumbnail, where the filename column has an adjustable width that allows the user to see full filenames up to 127 characters at least? * DISPLAY FILENAME of a currently viewed photo? Or display prediction of what the filename would be if the iPhone were to export that photo to a desktop computer via sync/charge cable?

Happy To Purchase

Like another reviewer here, I had another app I was using to transfer files between my Apple devices and other devices. After that app no longer worked, I searched around for alternatives. I tried this app, and it worked like a charm… Even better than my previous app. I really appreciate this developer, allowing people to try for free and then purchasing the lifetime purchase after testing it. This is what I did, and I am also appreciative that there is no ongoing subscription. Thank you, and hats off to this developer!

Best file/movie browser in the store

Bought this about a year ago. Used the free version years ago in older iPhone. It's improved so much. It makes it so easy to move files into your iPhone. It plays most all video formats with its own video player. Haven't run into any issue with watching movies. I haven't tried using the server access tabs because I don't have an servers but it looks promising. You can transfer files without it. Either by wifi or thru iTunes.

USELESS

This app is useless without downloading ability, it was a great app for downloading and storing files but now it's useless *another thing that made this app useful was because it works on old phones and I used it for my iPhone 5 and it is very useful but now without downloading ability it's useless and I hope they fix it *i always hoped that they design the PDF reader of this app just like iPhone iBook app (with search engine and iPhone review downside page)! Thanks

Next music is not playing

I have a Music folder on it on my iPhone 6 which is my dedicated device to play music in the car via AUX. Unfortunately when iPhone screen is locked my Musics are not playing back to back (Even with all of the right settings) and It works only when you keep the screen on and turn off the auto-lock of the iPhone. I’m fully aware that this is maybe because of using the older phone or the older iOS but I really want to use my iPhone 6 in the car and I don’t want to keep my screen on all the time because of the battery usage. I hope you can do a little tweak and fix this bug. With regards

I like it, support almost every file types that I needed.

Very convenient for schoolwork or for personal use. Everything is great for me, but “ts”file from streaming isn’t working great wow far, couldn’t toggle Picture in Picture is ok but I can’t even slide to fast forward, the video control isn’t working for “ts” type of files.

About Music files…

The music player is completely fine, until it finishes the song you first started playing or you skip it. If you skip it, the same song will play through again with the next song’s description. If you don’t skip it/ after you skip it, it will play through two whole times and play the song AFTER the song that was next. It will repeat this, so you hear only every other song on the list, two times.

Good Program

Good program all in all; however, I seem to be having issues saving documents to the ES File Explorer using my iPhone. For some reason, the iOS File app is showing ES File Explorer as being Read-Only & I’m not seeing anyway to fix this. I can; however, still save files by bypassing ES File Explorer & saving the files directly to my network drives by connecting to the individual servers, which I’d rather not do.

issues

1. “Stop after current song” in “Sleep timer” menu doesn’t work. 2. It’s not possible to connect to the SMB ver1 server. 3. It’s not possible to start playing all songs in the current folder and in all of its sub folders. Didn’t get a reply from developer via email so only 1 star.

Search isn’t working

Connected to a network drive was a breeze and it works great, very fast. However the search isn’t working at all. Trying to find a file within a few folders and it just says the folder is empty. Anything else that needs to be done for that to work properly ? Otherwise a 5 star app.

auto backup not working well

it was a great app have all what i need until i found the auto backup to my pc not working well. About 200 files on my phone but only 20-30 files backed up. Then i think it would be better to have a backup button because i have no idea its started or not and done or not. Now i need to see in which way to move these files to my pc.

A mistake.

I’ve used this app for years and have always used it for its computer like browser capabilities like being able to actually download videos and files through the web without a direct transfer like on phone, but now that they have taken that out the app stands useless. I find it to be a mistake so please reverse the changes I want to use the app as much as anyone but now I have no use for it.

Excellent in general

Can’t find my separate folders of the system albums inside the app but was able to select photos in Photos to import to it. The downside is you can only import 9 photos at a time.

Still has trouble with ftp

In the 4-5 version earlier, ftp worked fine… Now, I can only see list of root folder (not files inside), after entering a folder an error say “please make sure permission is enabled”. I tried to double check if the problem is at my end by download another ftp client, it works perfectly fine. My recommendation for you is to implement different version of ftp and support its credentials in the server url (the same with SMB). Please make sure the existing features work fine in various scenarios before adding new features in update, otherwise the app become useless itself (e.g. sidebar iPad is useless since ftp is not working).

It’s great!

So I was going to change my save file in sonic 3 AIR and I decided I needed a file manager so i got one and then I deleted it because it was terrible but i got this and I successfully changed my save file so 5 stars! (Note: Im gonna attempt to extract a rar file.)

Neayly Perfect

I love the added feature to secure folders and network shares! The only thing missing is the ability to loop a video in the video player. I like the auto play next video option, but please add loop as well. I'm a lifetime member. Great app.

Able to login can’t transfer files

I can login to my SFTP server but I am unable to transfer files. It shows the whole folder structure, I can view the files but I cannot transfer it just says task failed when I try…. Additionally if I close the app and open it again I have to delete my password and reenter it to be able to log on to the server. Not sure what I could be doing wrong here. As it stands the app is useless though.

Great app

Great file manager where I can access my NAS, manage, and watch at the same time. One bug, the seek bar in the media player sometimes stuck and does not go with the media. Please fix.

Pretty Good for SMB

I use it for SMB access.. is pretty good.. it plays videos instantly and does everything else well.. only downside is I can’t edit text files with this.. at least one other app I know can edit text files over SMB..

Not so Clever theif stealing people’s money

I just paid for this app lifetime no add a couple weeks ago updated it today now I have to pay again??? U are breaking contract because I already paid for this app for lifetime ad free, how is it that just because u update it I have to pay for lifetime again? That wouldn’t make it lifetime now would it? You can’t sell me the same bike I already bought just because you put a whistle on it.

Great app - though would appreciate one addition

Could you add the ability to send a file to another app? The video player lags sometimes and I would like to send the file to the VLC app instead.

Explore external devices

It’s a great app I must say but I’m struggling to find a way to explore externally connected storage devices. I know that can be done in the native file explorer on iOS but is there a way to do it in the ES file explorer app?

2 years ago, 041076Again

Deleted all my files…!!!

This is a load of crap! The new update deleted all my files and folders. This is such a disappointment for a product (PAID) that I relied on. I’m going back to the old Apple file explorer, at least it’s reliable. I would highly recommend not using this app…

Waste of money

I unlock the pro version of this app because I really need to zip and unzip encrypted splited files on my phone and iPad, that offers in pro version of this app, I try both zip and 7zip, but simply it doesn’t work at all and you get error or app crashes and I have to mention that I use this app on latest apple devices with latest iOS and iPad OS.
