8 of 25So many applications seem to design themselves around weird internal mandates or metrics that are at odds with what the user wants. They also seem to start branching out into other things and forget their core purpose. This app does exactly what I need it to and brings me back to the good old days when I can use something that serves and also doesn’t require a login. Also, actual patch notes! Happy to have paid for this.
The app presents itself as part of a Mac-to-iPhone file sharing solution but is client-only. To actually use it with your Mac you need to separately buy “FileBrowser Pro for Mac” — a completely different $14.99 app. This is not made clear anywhere in the listing. To make it worse, there’s also a “FileBrowser Professional” bundle for iPhone, making three similarly named products that are easy to confuse. Save yourself the frustration and just use macOS’s free built-in SMB file sharing with the Files app.
Good app, but av1-encoded videos seems to only show a black screen
Hello, I bought and installed this software for the iPhone, but to install it on the MacBook I want to install, it announces that I will buy the software again, it seems that if the manufacturer really gets paid twice for providing a software, it is very unfair.
This is the easiest way to reach across connections in a local wan.
I use this app to store and listen to music. Is it possible that you could add the option to be Abel to fade out music at end of song
I got this app a little while ago, is mostly perfect. But after the latest iOS update, I cant add new photos or files to stuff. The formatting is wonky. I’m hoping that gets patched at some point
You cannot use it as a replacement for the native “Files” browser app in iOS. This is nothing more than an app that launches the native app when you need to browse files ON the iOS device itself. Worthless. Also, MP4 previews are not shown; just a generic “MOVIE” icon. So you see a list of timestamp filenames and no visual previews so dashcam SSD browsing is useless also.
