iOS App Store seems to have about nine hundred ‘file managers’ all of which are anything but and demand ridiculous subscription costs.

Is there a decent file manager for iOS that actually will do file management things like select multiple file & rename etc that isn’t a scammy subscription/Ad ridden mess?

*Yes, I’m aware Files app is provided by Apple, but it’s extremely basic.

      FileBrowser Pro is really great. One-time purchase, has about any feature you could need and they’re constantly adding new features too. Totally worth it.

      Thank you very much for your suggestion. This looks like a more reasonably priced solution. After re-reading the description I note the developers say that it EXTENDS the iOS Files app, in other words I can access files already present ‘on your phone’.

        You can access a special filebrowser folder via the files app… there are different versions of the app available via App Store, so you can try before you by I guess

    I doubt it, and it’s probably because Steve Jobs didn’t want users fussing with complicated things like files and folders on iOS.

    Today there’s the Files app but it’s clearly limited due to the lockdown Apple has on the actual “real/full filesystem.

    I haven’t jailbroken in quite a long time, but back when I did there were some full-featured apps such as you describe. Other than that you’re probably out of luck.
