Do you sometimes wish you could access files and drives from your home or work computer to view on your iPad or iPhone?
The excellent “FileBrowser”
app enables you to browse through all the folders and files in your Mac
or PC remotely. You can open compatible file types in the app itself or
save them and send them to other compatible apps like “Dropbox” all that is required to complete the task is to install the relevant VPN software.
“FileBrowser”
is a universal app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. The good thing
about this app is you won’t have to install any additional software on
your computer. You will only have to enable the appropriate network
settings in your computer (e.g. File Sharing on the Mac), and then enter
your username and password to login to your computer.
Aside from Mac and Windows, FileBrowser
can also give you access to Linux systems and NAS drives. The app is
pretty easy to setup for systems on your local network. To gain entry
into your computer over the internet you’ll have to do so through using a
VPN.
With File Browser,
you can view PDF files and photo slideshows from your computer, open
text documents, email attachments, and stream compatible movies and
music over Wi-Fi. Should FileBrowser be
unable to handle certain file types, you can use the “Open in” function
to use the files in another compatible app. FileBrowser will then
download the file into your device.
“FileBrowser” does everything it says and works well and also offers security features, such as a password lock.
This is an app that will come in very handy for anyone who works with
a computer which is, quite likely, almost everyone who owns an iPhone,
iPod Touch, or iPad. The app isn’t free but will certainly be of use
when on the go.
