  • Yes, I tested the ‘Go’ version which allows 3 day trial before levying a subscription.

    Based on that I purchased the ‘Pro’ version as it meets my needs well and I hate farking subscriptions lol

    • Beware there are imitators with almost identical app names and identical app descriptions.

    You want the app by Stratospherix


  • ‘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.

  • Well, apart from the fact that it’s NOT Google, (which I used for over a decade), the big selling point for a small business person is EMAIL. Apple do a good job of Email/Contacts/Calendar/File whereas Android struggles. Try accessing a third party Exchange email account on Android … yikes!

    iCloud offers cheap reliable multi domain email hosting and the iOS Mail client sucks less than any other mobile email clients, at least in my experience.

    I perceive Apple as, at least, a little more respectful of my privacy than Alphabet which is up there with Meta in profligate privacy abuse.

    Another consideration is I can rely on Apple to keep incrementally improving devises/OS’s whereas Alphabet has become much less reliable in terms of introducing services then capriciously terminating those services. Every Android handset is a bespoke experience…

    I use Linux (Debian Stable) on my desktop & BSD on my Servers.

    I would love to use a mobile device running an open source OS such as Linux, it’s not viable yet.
