What FE File Explorer is
FE File Explorer brings files from devices, computers, NAS systems, servers, cloud storage, and USB drives into one workspace for browsing, transferring, streaming, and management. It connects to SMB/CIFS, WebDAV, FTP, and SFTP locations, including network shares on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and supports Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, and Google Drive. Files can be transferred between connected locations, including remote services, while nearby iOS and Android devices can share files directly without a cloud handoff.
The app opens documents, and its extension lets compatible apps edit PDF, Microsoft Office, and iWork files and save changes back. It plays common video and audio formats, supports CUE and M3U playlists, and browses common and RAW photo formats. On iOS, media and slideshows can be played on a TV through AirPlay or HDMI. The maker says the app does not send information or files to Skyjos servers without consent and does not use analytics; third-party services may have their own policies. FE File Explorer supports MDM distribution of app settings and connections, and is available on Android, iOS, and macOS. No free plan is listed.
