If you\u2019re a long time\u00a0iPhone user, or even if you have just switched from\u00a0an Android gadget to the iOS ecosystem, you must have\u00a0seen\u00a0the lack of a file manager on the iPhone. This is because iPhones, and iPads\u00a0don\u2019t permit access to the internal file system, unless you jailbreak iOS.\u00a0But, there are file manager apps that you can utilize to manage files on your iPhone, or iPad, without jailbreak. So,\u00a0here are the 7 best file managers for iOS devices:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Documents 5<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

2. FileApp<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

FileApp is another very good\u00a0file manager app for iPhones, or iPads. The app accompanies a great interface, and\u00a0organizes files automatically<\/strong>\u00a0by type, date, and even shows the recent files that you have accessed on the app. You can even create new images, audio recordings, or text files directly from within the app. Not simply that, FileApp will also let you\u00a0view images,\u00a0play back media files, and read PDFs<\/strong>, directly inside the app.<\/p>\n

\"FileApp\"

FileApp can also be utilized to\u00a0transfer files from your iPhone to a PC<\/strong>, or Mac. The app provides numerous choices to do this, including\u00a0transfer over HTTP, FTP<\/strong>, and utilizing the FileApp desktop app. Sharing is turned off, by default, but you can turn it on, and even set\u00a0a custom username, and password, to keep your files protected from unauthorized access.\u00a0If you need, you can allow\u00a0passcode protection<\/strong>\u00a0from the app\u2019s settings, which will need a passcode to unlock\u00a0access to the file, and by extension, all of your files.<\/p>\n

3. File Hub<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

File Hub is a good file manager for iOS devices. The app\u00a0offers a plenty of features, such as the capability to create folders to organize files, create blank\u00a0files, or even\u00a0create a new file from the clipboard<\/strong>. You can even\u00a0import files directly from iCloud Drive<\/strong>, too. The sorting choices in the app truly make it stand out, and you can sort files by name, kind, etc. The app\u00a0will also permit you to share files from your iPhone to a Mac or PC through WiFi transfer, or Bluetooth transfer.<\/p>\n

\"File

You can also allow\u00a0file extensions<\/strong>, if you need, and change\u00a0the slideshow settings for photos. The app also supports a passcode lock to prevent access without a passcode. Unluckily, the app\u00a0doesn\u2019t support Touch ID<\/strong>, which is something I hope the developer adds quickly. All in all, the app is definitely a great choice for managing files on an iPhone, or iPad; and to share files between an iPhone, and a Mac or PC.<\/p>\n

You can even\u00a0hide files, and folders<\/strong>\u00a0in the app, to keep any personal data from being viewed by anyone else.

7. Pocket Drive<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Pocket Drive is an iPhone, and iPad file manager, that doesn\u2019t look like anything too special, at first. But, the app packs in\u00a0a plenty of features<\/strong>, and is not\u00a0far behind most of the other apps on this list. With the app, you can effortlessly create text files, take photos, and videos, and create folders to keep your iPhone organised.
