iOS App Store seems to have about nine hundred ‘file managers’ all of which are anything but and demand ridiculous subscription costs.

Is there a decent file manager for iOS that actually will do file management things like select multiple file & rename etc that isn’t a scammy subscription/Ad ridden mess?

I might be missing something here, but why wouldn’t you just use the Files iOS system app?

Because it’s extremely basic. I want to do more sophisticated file management. At the moment I kludge Apple's Files app with home brewed Shortcuts but I find Shortcuts to be buggy. There are some small utilities available in the App Store to supplement but there are not very cost effective.

$149.99 AUD per year? Pass ..

You can skip the paid version and use the app for free. I think they deliberately kept the skip/cross option tiny so that isn't visible.

On mobile devices I was/am quite happy with FileBrowser Pro. it's 17,99 EUR one-time payment. i used it for batch file rename and photo management (files).

I’ve always just used ES File Manager

Thank you for your suggestion. $99.99 to do file management tasks is a bit rich for me …

I’ve only used the free version to be fair
