Dondragon Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hello everybody, apologies if this has been asked before, a quick search revealed nothing. I recently downloaded the Affinity Photo app for iPad and am still looking for a reasonable way to access my photos stored on a western digital mycloud. I tried Filebrowser Go and while it handily gave access to the cloud itself it wasn't possible to access files with RAW photos in it. Even more surprising, although one could access "copy to affinity photo" natively in Filebrowser Go the pic would not open. Is there a different file browser people might recommend? Kind regards Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondragon Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Just to be more precise. I cannot open any images, be it jpg or nef in Affinity photo for iPad. When I try to open it out of native filebrowser (via "open/copy to Photo") the iPad will jump to Photo but nothing happens. Opening from Affinity Photo doesn't work either, since I can't access thumbnail images on the WD mycloud. I would have to download images first to check which image it is. Could it be a bug in the iPad version? Should I re-download it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I use Documents by Readdle. Free and very useful file management tool. A combination of ios11 Files app, Documents and AP seems to handle most situations. Documents can also access cloud storage and the WD wireless pro drive as well as your network drives. You can also browse files in Documents and open in AP from Documents. The latest beta of AP has a much improved iOS Files app interface, but there are still a few bugs associated with Cloud storage such as Dropbox. ICloud works perfectly.

Dondragon Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hmmm, it seems to be more like a bug, since I experience the same problem with FileExplorer Pro. Maybe I'll try reinstalling Affinity Photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphf Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Try the new version of my cloud app that will also show your raw files now. (the update was from earlier this week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 There is also a new firmware for the MyPassport Wireless Pro. Improved copying of file (now includes a time stamp check). Copy all now creates a new folder for each sdcard and so on. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

susangreen Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 On Google, you can find iOS file manager like File Manager Pro Review, Documents 6 Review, FileMaster Review, and you can look at the comparative articles to make better choices.
