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.
the two things you want - multiple file selection and renaming are both available in the basic File app.
It might be more useful if you specify what the basic app doesnt do which you need?
One thing I’ve taken for granted on other platforms is simple batch operations. Want to rename MORE THAN one file? I’m SOL on the Apple Files app.
I make do with (buggy) homebrew shortcuts at the moment for such things.
Ahh so bulk renaming, I read those as two separate requirements.
Ill have a look, because that would be useful for me too.
as an aside, I also agree every other 3rd party file system app seems ridiculously expensive, or shady AF
‘File Browser’ looks promising. Comes in 3 versions, less featured one off purchase, full featured subscription version (Go) or full featured one off purchase (Pro).
Has been in the App Store many years, still in active development. Affordable. Will probably plump for this if nothing better is suggested.
He may want to mark several files and then rename them together. This would be something that the original app actually cannot do.
But yes, a more detailed description would be very helpful.
