Great app! – iFiles 2 Review

iFiles 2 has been one of my favorite apps in the AppStore since it launched, right until iOS 11’s Files app was added, iFiles 2 was my default files app... especially that it supports most cloud services, SMB and FTP... It did the job in all possible ways... But with the arrival of the native Files.app, native is always the slickest solution even if it lacks features other apps like iFiles 2 have... One would expect the last early October update to add the useful iOS11 features to the app, but it came short... One would’ve loved if iFiles 2 was as fully as possible integrated with the Files.app like other file managers are... If only it opened natively in Files app, instead of opening iFiles 2’s interface when clicked on in files.app... this doesn’t allow users to add files.app tags to files, copy them to other services or even drag and drop files to it... It would’ve been great if iFiles 2 added FTP and SBM support to Files.app and made iFiles 2 a must have for many users (not sure if it’s allowed by Apple though)... And it would’ve been great if iFiles 2 supported both iOS 11’s Drag and Drop, not just the Drop... because one would’ve loved to be able to drag a file from iFiles 2 to other apps, as for the time being, iFiles willingly receives all files dropped on it, but it doesn’t allow dragging those files to anywhere else... I hope more iOS 11 features stated above will be added as we go to make iFiles 2 great again...
