ES File Explorer File Manage App Reviews

We transfer money over €4 billion every month. We enable individual and business accounts to save 4 million Euros on bank transfer fees. Want to send free money abroad or transfer money abroad for free? Free international money transfer!

Works great. No issues. I installed SMB on a PC and can connect fine. I also connected to my onedrive and that works also.

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.

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!

Excel it by Dark Mode. First - Thank you so much for everything Second - Please, if possible, add a dark mode to its appearance settings Thanks again

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.

Awesome file manager!. After two weeks I'm still learning all the different ways to use this handy intuitive app. 💖💕

Best App. One of the best apple store’s app I have ever seen, I really needed such a program and was looking for it Fortunately, I finally found it

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.

Great Alternative to native iPhone files App. Works like a champ, even better than the original Apple provided files app

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 files start. Recognize opportunities and problems could be the winning move

Great but need more future and stability and improve ui/ux. I buying your pro app but i dont like it user interface i hope you will improve it, and solve the problems: Access to gallery and full access to file app and custom moves from gallery like this app and this one “movie to album” And all formats of zip like the zipym app and add And improve User interface like the king of ui kings the Document app

Files. Adds to the power of the iPad. One of those features you need.

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.

Download. Hello, in the download section, add download all and stop all and give more importance and expand this section, thank you

Best iPhone file manager. It’s so easy to use has a mp4 and MP3 player built in as well as is compatible with .Flac files as well as easy to navigate and manage

NO LONGER PLAY DIRECT MP4 AND VIDEO FILES. Hello team: u did great job for the transfer bar progress, i like it on this update however when i open direct mp4 or video file its no longer playing but i can see my video files...

The best APP. One thing I would do is add run push button excellent app for people who have no patience with the app closing or say it can’t open

Very useful. Not much to write, its a well organized and useful app thats good for anything from listening to music to organizing other files, while there are ads they are very few and are for actual products not crappy mobile games.

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 - 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.

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 solid. I haven’t noticed much of a difference when going pro but it’s a easy to use reliable app. (Just wish it had more)

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.

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 app. Excellent alternative for me to listen to my music offline and browse through my files fast

Broken. The app is broken you can no longer move files and there is a new Chinese spy ware built into it so do not download

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.)

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).

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…

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

No #1. This app is the best ive used and i have tried many, its well put together as it was well planned and its very easy to use, i give thanks to the developer you did a great job

This the best. iPhone don’t have a MP3 player that plays files back to back I downloaded this app and now app my music files plays back to back 🙏🏾 devs

Fixed. Seems fixed after that last update. Thanks.

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.

A have problems in music player. when a songs play sometimes my players crashed

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.

Automatic Backup?. Y'all got me the ability to access my SMB server for local file share which is great. However, I also want the automatic backup function which I saw advertised on your apps description, but even after I bought the pro I don't see that functionality anywhere? Please help clarify

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.

Very impressive!. Powerful user-friendly file manager packed with useful features. Zip's items very fast.

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?

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.

es File Manager. The apps was easy to use and able to connect to my pc to iphone with ease using ftp.

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?

Small problem after update. I can only see the Markdown Resources folder when tying to import a file from another app… please help..

Best File Manager for iOS !. With many lovely and useful features , I do not know how to deal with iOS if it were not

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!

Finding Couldn’t be Easier. This is one of the best sources for finding files. Navigation is easy and straight forward and renaming and organizing files is blast.

Liked the browser feature! Please add it back to where it was. I started usuing this app because of the browser icon that’s always there when u open a file, but now it’s not there, please put it back

Best file manager on iOS. The cleanest and most polished file manager. Lots of great functionality and works flawlessly with other services and network connections.

Been using ES FOR years. Always great to use easy and many functions. Great for the freeloading app consumers like me

Ads. Used to be great BUT now has ad for ad blocking. Now deleting & and going elsewhere. Shame to ruin a great ap with ad rubbish.

Best for ftp and media play. This is the best app and free

Audio glitch when loading video from SMB. Please fix this. The audio glitches when loading a video. It's clear for a few seconds then starts crackling.

Amazing App. Would recommend to anyone in need of a file browser

App. L application est au top

FTP doesn’t work.. I’ve tried everything but to no avail. Ended up to purchase another file explorer (FE file explorer) and it works great with no issues. Hopefully future updates will fix the FTP function.

Needs an open button. I need to open my animal crossing file on this app but there isn’t an open selection sort of thing so I’m not able to open it without having to go through a ton of stuff to just be able to open it

Useless ?? Honestly what does this do. Access you nearly %1 of the files on my phone to do what with ? I can see photos in photos and read what time and where they were taken not sure if this even knows location of a photo let alone find files corrupting your system

DON’T UPGRADE to 1.9.5. A very good file browser but DO NOT upgrade to 1.9.5 as they have added pop-up ads.

Too many ad. Rubbish

One of the best file manager apps around. The best file manager around. It has airdrop functionality built in and a video player that plays most formats. Best of all, the app isn't greedy. A must install app.

Review. The best file manager. i hope when you use mini player, it can play playlist and youtube playlist. Thanks and more power.

So Far - It's a Great Cross Platform App! Thank You!📲🤓🤙🏽. Why GPS Removed ES File Explorer from their Store - ? Seems to b a great Cross Platform App so far!

Its very good one. All the things i need already here and this one is no adds

确实好用. 已经购买lifetime vip

Wifi transfer. Hi , this app is great. I am using this app a lot, and using the "wifi transfer" to transfer mp3 from windows pc to the my iphone, and transfered over 2000 song to iphone. I am used this with firefox broswer. Is it possible to make this connection with total commander software? If not, is it possible to have more user friendly options in browser to copy a multi sub directories to iphone? Thank you

Missing features. Rsa authentication doesn't work for sftp

Glitch?. For some reason I can't edit the files i know you could before can someone explain?

Güzwl uygulama. Keşke klasörlere farklı farklı renkler atayabilme özelliği olsaydı.

I. ★ʜʏᴅʀᴀ»ᴄᴀᴘsシ

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✅✅💕. yaaa

it’s laggy. hmm it’s very bad explain and you cannot figure out how it’s work by yourself 👎🏻

Great app. This app is excellent and well designed. It’s very close to allowing users to creat their own cloud system by using the FTP functions. With a little more effort by the developers, you should be able to save attachments directly to an FTP server just like you can do with the famous cloud services. I highly recommend this app.

Very good to connect to local NAS drives.. It supports both SMB 1 and 2 not sure about 3. Good speed and can open most files, images and videos. Love it. I used to use FEfileExplorer. But it only allows one NAS configuration for free version.

Very good product. Works like a charm and easy to install and get ready to use

Unzips easily. This is a great app. I use it to add fonts to my iPad Pro which I receive in zip files, I couldn’t figure out to unzip them and add them to Procreate until this app made it simple for me. Thanks for a useful app

ES File Explorer. Only the best...!!!!

Perfect for the function. No massive ads, sub actually works

EXCELLENT. I COULDN'T FIND BETTER TO USE WITH IPHONE. RECOMMENDED!

king of file's king. Support high-quality video and photo Free and no-ads

Hello. It’s great

Best explorer app. Very thanks. Best one

Umm. I can’t download

crash when decompressing. And endless promotion about its vip

Suspicious.... Suspicious? 🤔

Too much ads. Crash frequently while copying files from pc, and toooooo much ads pop out

it's good for iPhones and iPads. it's good app but I don't know how to get in dark mod please guide me to change the them thanks

Update. Can’t download any files or music, great.

Very good. I enjoy

The king of IOS file explorer. Just nothing else can compare to it’s simplicity and yet its powerful abilities.

Can’t split files. When ever I compress and try to split files it always say “failed to compress”

Works good. Would recommend

Great App. This is a well designed app that works reliably. I use it to regularly connect to my home NAS via SMB(Samba) and I have never had a bad experience with it. The developer(s) let you use a free version with ads and less features. If you pay $10CAD you get no ads and you unlock a few great features which I have personally done. Great app that’s reasonable with monetization methods.

Great app. Great app and it’s free

El mejor. Gracias por esta App muy buena.

This update ruined it. It was perfect.. I’ve been using this awesome app for a long time on my iPad. This update ruined it. Browser button is removed but browser still exists…OK Adding a download link is removed from the browser. HUGE mistake. “Save to ES File Explorer” is removed from share list. Gigantic bad idea. Why? Devs, why? Is Apple forcing this? Is there ANY way I can get these things back? Without these features, I have to install something else. I curse the moment I tapped the update button.

DO NOT USE. I used this app to create a second folder for pictures on my iPad. Creating and moving some of my pictures to the new folder worked well. But when I decided to move the pictures back to their original folder, they were deleted. ALL OF MY PICTURES WERE DELETED. DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE!

Amazing!. Finally! a file manager that WORKS!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Paid before, being asked to pay again. I note prompts for payments for lifetime and ad removal. I have paid before, no idea why I’m being asked to pay again.

FTP shows no files. Tried the FTP client, but it appears it doesn’t work. No files are displayed, even though other applications show the files just fine.

Fix downloading. Hello dear ES I am one of the those people who purchased this pretty good app But downloading not working please fix this i am really actually need this things Thank you 😊😍

thanks for payments. paying the fee gives something better expecting.

Used to download files, now it’s gone.. I used the app to download files such as audios videos and many files, now it’s gone. idk why!!!

excellent was able to transfer contacts vcf. been using for years

Very useful and reliable. I’m making the jump to lifetime member later this week. I’ve tested long enough to use it in a variety of tasks and give 4 stars. 5 star development wishlist — * virtual directory / shortcut to remote share * lightweight photo editor * help files describing directory structure / organizational scheme

Super deeper. It’s crazy because supporting you

Not too many ads. Not too many ads That's going too far 吃像越来越难看

Latest update broken. Can no longer smb transfer since last update.

Great job. Thanks team

Shocked at how good this is.. This helps even the playing field for iPhone users.

Sad. Tried for 30 minutes to get it to work it wouldn only view some of the files. Too much troubleshooting.

No refund available. They won’t even let me get to the part where you’re able to see the features of pro

Very Powerful. Amazing i watch 2k movies on it Very good

music playlist. plz add making playlist feature thank you so much

feedback. The video preview cannot be viewed when the NAS service is connected

Just use another app. This app makes it way to difficult to navigate

Good job. I can download files stored in Baidu Netdisk at high speed.

no sound on vids. 1 tinsy problem that i just know u can fix. when i load a video onto it, i found that it does not preserve sound. can u solve that?

Fix. What have you made this application it was really good before i can download anything now i am unable to download a files i want Plz fix this problem asap😫

Ad pop up can’t be closed. A pop up ad for a game in Chinese covers the entire screen with no way to close it. App is essentially locked out.

Text file. Text editing is hard in new version that’s why I gave 3 stars.

Operation. Just installed and seems to work as advertised.

LIMITED TO WHAT ON MY IPAD SHOWS. I got this to try and see files that the default On My iPad feature would. It reveal and it doesn’t show anything more. It’s very difficult to around this and my laptop is down so I feel like I’m holding a shiny $1200 piece of junk.

Fail. This was a great app. After the latest update you now have to pay extra to view videos via the app. Delete!

flash back. When compressing a split volume, the file will flash back on its own when it is a little bit bigger, very unstable

Very good. This app is very good program for management file. This program is light .

Amazing. Thanks for your very universal app

Please fix these issues. It doesn’t let the screen sleep while we’re in app n music is playing It doesn’t show pictures of songs in the list Please fix em Thank u

Great file explorer. One of the best file explores on iOS

Amazing app. Great way to save your pictures and videos! I love it!

Much better than others. Much better than others

All in one. Its good ads free and fast

Love this app. So helpful and organized

Battery life and overheating. App is pretty good ngl but iPhone gets hot after 10 mins of usage in the app hope it gets fixed with some update I’m using a 6s plus

Thank you. Help

Poor. It looked like a great app . Until I imported 6 copied videos to it .But it only imported one. Sorry I need an app that can import multiple copies . Sorry have to delete app. I don’t have time to waste . Thank you good luck . 😍

Don’t update this app. My MP3 player always crashes after update

Where is the music skip buttons.. Yeah There’s no skip buttons when am playing music files..?

In need of support. I need someone to please tell me how to access internal storage & downloads on iPhone 11. Thanks. :)

very nice!. for my uses, works quite well for me..Thank you

Many practical flaws. How Can I use the native TEXT EDITOR INSTEAD???? -Does not remember how i want to view every folder - thumbnail view is very bad for images because the thumbnail is actually too small and there is too much wasted space around it! Native gallery is so much better in that regard.. - no way to bulk select chosen items, native allows u to just slide your finger through them.. - inability to search only in the current open folder

OK for pics, but not for all files. I expected to be able to see system files as well as things that were saved to other programs on my iPad - no luck. Very disappointed.

How do i use on ipad. I cant even extract stuff and i dont know what to do please help

Excessive permission. It should not need local network browsing to access SMB share created manually. But when that permission removed. It refuses to access SMB.

THIS IS SO GOOD. so why this is good is because i can now download resource packs for minecraft and roblox TYSM FOR THIS😌

Update breaks Streaming video from a NAS. The app auto updated and streaming video from my synology nas no longer works. I just get a black screen with no playback.

Great App. I have used ESFile Explorer for years and I have not been disappointed in the function of the app.

Nearly perfect. Really solid, just missing FTPS support (FTP over TLS), beyond that no flaws
