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.

    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.
