About

Access and organize your files no matter where they’re located, on your device, in the cloud, on an external drive or file server, with Files. The Recents view displays the files you’ve been working on lately in high-resolution thumbnails. Use the powerful browse view to navigate folders, organize your files with tags, move files between folders, and search. Files also make it easy to access iCloud Drive and third-party cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive. Press the Files icon in the Dock or Home screen to quickly open a file from anywhere. Connect an external drive or SD card to your device to access the files. Connect to a file server at work or a home PC using SMB from files. Use tags to organize files stored with different cloud providers and across different apps. Pin your favorite folders in Browse view for quick access to the ones you use most. Give people access to any file stored in iCloud Drive by sharing a link from the files app.

About

There are already a handful of powerful file managers, but most of them just isn't Material Design. And even among the ones with Material Design, they usually have various minor design flaws (layout, alignment, padding, icon, font, etc) across the app which makes me uncomfortable, while still being minor enough so that not everybody would care to fix it. So I had to create my own. Most of the popular and reliable file managers are just closed source, and I sometimes use them to view and modify files that require root access. But deep down inside, I just feel uneasy with giving any closed-source app the root access to my device. After all, that means giving literally full access to my device, which stays with me every day and stores my own information, and what apps do with such access merely depends on their good intent.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Apple Files is an essential platform to be able to manage the documents or files you have on your iPhone device. The things I liked were: 1- Apple Files allows that directly to each of the actions of your mobile device, all the documents and files that you have within your iPhone device, in addition, it allows you to create new folders to be able to correctly manage the files and to be able to organize them by section, you will be able to store store them inside a specific folder with the help of Apple Files. 2- A function that I really like is the recently deleted function, it allows you to access the files that have been recently deleted from your iPhone mobile device, I love files or documents stored for 30 days, so you can recover them if you need them for some urgency. 3- This platform allows you to add a label to each of the files or folders that you have created within Apple Files, it is very important since it allows me to add labels with different names and with different colors for each of the files, this helps me a lot to be able to detect files I'm specifically looking for. 4- I love that the platform has a connectivity and a half with the iCloud system, this is quite important since it allows me to transfer files from my mobile device to my computer using the iCloud Drive function. I can move any type of file from my mobile device to this folder so that I can access it within iCloud on my computer.
  • Apple Files is a perfect application to be able to manage the storage of your mobile device or manage rationing of your iCloud account, the first positive aspect of this iCloud platform, because you can insert or store new files within your iCloud account using With this application on your mobile device, you can drag new files or documents to the iCloud folder and automatically those files will be sent to the cloud, in addition, it has this function that displays everything that is stored in that iCloud storage in real time For example, if you have inserted a new file inside that folder from your computer, you will be able to access that file using your mobile phone immediately. Another aspect that I really liked about this platform is that it allows you to add new tags to each of the files stored on your mobile device or within the iCloud system, these tags are quite good since they allow you to identify important files, you can add a different label with different colors for each of the files, in addition, another important function of this platform is the scanning of new documents, you can scan anywhere with this function and the platform will automatically create a new document where you will write in detail all missing information, this function is very important to create from the scan with your phone camera. Another important function that can be found within this platform is that you can access files deleted a short time ago, this function is essential as it allows you to recover information on your mobile device that you have deleted by mistake, in addition, I have loved the system of Sharing files or documents, files in real time with anyone who is registered in your contacts or with anyone you register within iCloud, just by accessing this section, you can choose with whom you want to share a specific file.

Cons

  • A very important function that is missing within this platform is the cleaning function, there is no type of function within this platform to be able to delete unnecessary files or copies of files that are necessary, this function would be very important to keep safe and fully accessible the storage space within your mobile device, I would love for this platform to implement this cleaning system. Another negative point of this platform is that it does not have any type of access to the iCloud Drive subscription, for example, if you want to increase your iCloud plan, you will have to directly access your iCloud account and buy one of the plans, this You must do it from your computer, since this platform does not allow you to increase the storage space of your cloud to the application, you must necessarily access iCloud.
  • Apple Files presents a majority of quite positive functions, that platform helps you keep your files and documents completely safe and managed, however, the first negative aspect of this platform is the function of connecting to the server, it would not allow you to remotely connect to any server, correctly typing the server address and port of that server, you will be able to connect immediately to extract some type of file or store new files, however, this function does not fulfill its objective correctly, since most of the servers that do not connect In addition, this collection of servers is currently used, which will cause the export and import of files or documents to be very slow. Another negative aspect that I could notice about this platform is that it is not customizable at all, the user cannot customize this platform to improve the community when it comes to managing their documents and files, there is no type of function to edit the interface platform overview.
