FileBrowser Professional

I had bought a flash drive to store all my procreate files on, however I quickly learned that plugging a usb c drive into the drive causes quite a few files to get corrupted. I was really upset that I seemed to lose drawings that I valued, so I checked out this app based on a recommendation from a Reddit post. At first I wondered if I should get this or the other version, but I figured I'd get this for the increased functionality. Rather than connect my flash drive directly to my iPad, I am now able to connect it to my PC, connect to my iPad via the servers, and upload folders that way. The drag and drop is nice and the multiwindow is very helpful in saving files. At first I had troubles learning how to share PC folders and learn how to undo the read-only issue, but now that it works I'm really grateful that I can still back up my procreate pictures. Since I don't have a Mac for the apple ecosystem, this is doublely helpful.

This app boasts a lot of features, but it’s not quite as straightforward as they make it out to be for many of the features. They don’t clearly say that other apps are required for stuff like edit in place, or how limited it still is by how iOS restricts the local file system in general. Honestly that’s the real issue. iOS is actively working against apps like this with the filesystem restrictions. Still, compared to other options, this has been much nicer once you do sort out the ways to get around the quirks and read through the FAQs for how to set up features. The nicest part by far is being able to connect to cloud storage with Face ID authentication and use REAL copy, paste, and move to/from exact on device locations. Instead of having duplicate or triplicates of files from the native iOS inter-app permissions fiasco, you can just use a few dedicated folders that frequently used apps always have access to to eliminate the confusion of downloads not showing in photos, or your video editor not seeing supposedly cloud downloaded video files. So despite the iOS confusion and the app not being quite as simple or feature rich out of the box, it does make coping with the filesystem easier. Especially when you need to move files from different sources frequently. But it would be nice to have better integrated photo editing, a text editor that can do even basic text formatting, and integrated document editing.

Had the normal one for tears and planned to get the pro one but never did until a few days ago and it definitely worth the price. Amazing functionalities. The app is the best browser app ive come across since for 10+ years. Its a great feeling to know you have a tool that can help you in every situation. Also the price is nothing compared to some other apps like Documents which has a monthly price of this app but cant compete with FileBrowser Pro. But most important feature is an amazing support team that explain every issue as simple as they can for you to understand and help you in every way. The support team is famous for being fast and thorough. I have made some support teams angry at me for being a novice but stratospherix team take their time explaining everything which is the best support experience ive had ever.
