Overview
What is it?
FileBrowser is like having Windows Explorer or Mac Finder on your iPad / iPhone to access, copy and stream files from remote computers including Windows, Mac, and Network (NAS) drives.
You can browse machines on your WiFi network and view documents, photos or stream movies directly to the iPad / iPhone. You can also sync them through iTunes. Transferred files can be stored within FileBrowser to take with you.
Before, I had to fire up my MacBook to be able to view files. In seconds I had a connection to my server and NAS box and was able to view all my documents.

How does FileBrowser work?
FileBrowser connects to your computer or Network Accessible Storage device over WiFi or 3G using the SMB file transfer protocol, which means no third party software is needed.
3G connection requires that you have a VPN installed, or SMB port-forwarding configured.
Is it Secure?
Yes. FileBrowser is able to connect to any supported networked computer or NAS drive for which you have a valid username and password. It will never send an unprotected password over the network.
Is it easy to setup?
A little knowledge of home networking helps, but if you don't have any experience of this, we have created an interactive troubleshooter which should have you connected in no time.
Why Buy FileBrowser?
Most file sharing apps require you to use your Mac or PC to upload files to your iPad / iPhone. If you forget a file, you have to go back to your Mac/PC and upload it. FileBrowser allows you to browse your network directly from your iPad / iPhone, just like you would use Mac Finder or Windows Explorer.
