Must have for fileshares and NAS devices

I have to give credit where credit is due. Ive owned this app since iOS 5, and I still have not out grown it. There are only a handful of apps that end up on each new iPhone, and this is one of them. Not only has this been the best bang for your buck app (considering Ive had this for about 5 years).

Now, I do own a nice NAS device whos apps exist in the App Store. Considering that I store my pictures, movies, and music on my NAS, I need an app if I want to view a movie on my phone or broadcast cast music to the home theater system. While I still own the app for this NAS device (great app and great hardware), I still find myself using FileBrowser instead. It has a nicer interface when playing music, unlike the other app that uses the built-in QuickTime viewer (or whatever the hell Apple calls their native video player). This app may not allow me to punch a hole in my network as easy as this other app, but I dont want that feature. I prefer security through not enabling the hole rather than security through obscurity.

Also, Ive had better luck with codecs in this app over many other video player apps in the store. A wider range of codec compatibility means less of a need to convert your files. That is pretty important to me.

Finally, they have added connectivity to cloud storage. I have an Office 365 account with 1 TB of storage! I can effectively toggle between cloud and home NAS, and have them in sync (granted that is not a feature of the app, but the NAS). I dont often take the time to review an app or even update my review, but 5 years in, it is 5 stars in my book. Thanks for keeping this updated over the years! Best file system browsing app on the iPhone hands down.
