Best iPad File Managers to Manage Files on Your iPad on The Go

Steve Jobs was one of the most outspoken proponents of a “no-file-manager” system. In fact, the iOS ecosystem continues to be simple and easy to use because the user doesn’t have to do anything with files or folders. Everything is taken care of by the apps.
However, some of us are overly comfortable with file management and the lack of a suitable file manager on the iPad makes it a tad harder to control things in the tablet. That is why iPad file management apps are great.


Below is the list of best iPad file managers that you can use to do several things like:

• Cut/copy/paste files and folders
• Create or delete files and folders
• (On some of the apps) edit files in real-time
• Create Dropbox/Box.net/iCloud sync
• Access/open files of various types (images, pdf, zip etc.)

1. Air Drive – Your File Manager
There are quite a lot of apps with the same name on the App Store so make sure we’re on the same page. Air Drive (ad-supported free version; $0.99 for the PRO) comes with a ton of features you’d expect from a regular file manager. It’s pretty good and for beginners who want to have a taste of a good file manager, this is the answer.

2. File Manager (Free) for iPad
Again, there’s a PRO version for this app but I guess this is more than sufficient. The app brings quite a lot of excellent features that include support for Microsoft Office files, an integrated PDF reader, zip extractor and creator and plenty more. The interface is commendable for its standard and intuitive interface.

3. FileApp (Documents  & Files Reader)
The FileApp comes with a ton of features too. It’s not much different from the two apps above and can be taken as an alternative. What I like about the app is its interface: it’s segregated neatly to help you manage files like a pro. The app features the usual support for both Office and iWork along with several other formats. You can also password-protect the app (and the Wi-fi transfer).

4. Files Manager
Files Manager brings you quite a lot of additional features that aren’t usually found on an app of its type. For instance, think of taking photos, adding voice memos, creating text files: that’s the kind of thing that Files Manager brings you. But of course, that’s for a cost.

5. iFileExplorer
iFile Explorer is a decent app that lets you connect to files, edit them, create folders and pretty much everything else that a good file manager does. As to why it’s costly, it brings a totally simplified interface along with support for a lot of file-formats. You can even view videos right from within the app. There is support for Dropbox and other cloud storage but there’s an in-an app purchase for Dropbox.
Price: $2.99

6. File Manager Pro
There are file managers that offer similar features as File Manager Pro (but are priced in the range of $9.99). Things like a fantastic interface, a good stable app and cloud storage and sync make File Manager Pro stand out from the crowd. The app lets you manage files better with the clearly marked folders (according to media type, cloud folder etc.)
Price: $4.99

7. OrganiDoc HD
OrganiDoc HD needs no introduction. With a stunning interface and a bold take on file management, OrganiDoc presents some of the best features for a file manager. It comes with tons of support, options, features and stability. It is one of the best file managers on the App Store.
Price: $4.99
