iPhoneGlance Rating [rating=4]

iExplorer HD for your iPad is a handy tools for those wanting to manage and view files on servers that are remote from your current location. I have several drives out on the web that hold my files and iExplorer HD for your iPad allows you clean access to them.

Recently Google Drive was launched and I shifted around 5gb of information from my PC to the drive. Now when I go around the country and settle in my hotel room with my iPad, I am able to access my remote server files easily and conveniently thanks to iExplorer HD for your iPad. It is not just the cloud servers like Google Drive, Sky Drive, CloudMe, Box, DropBox, Google Docs and Microsoft Live Mesh that it can access but Windows sharing servers too.

iExplorer HD is also brilliant for an eBook reading tool. It will also play media files like your music videos and other streaming media. It will act as a work assistant and image viewer also. All in all a great tool for showing your clients the images you took in the company you visited the day before, helping you seal that contract.

iExplorer HD is also able to read PDF files, including those with content-rich media. I recently had a 310-page report on a PDF file and iExplorer HD for your iPad handled it with no problem whatsoever. It also manages ePublications and CHM files.

I did like the idea of iExplorer HD for your iPad playing music and videos without unnecessarily copying the token file to my iPad every time. I do remember the pain I endured with Windows PC when every YouTube video, every song and every webpage I opened left a file on my hard drive. iExplorer HD does get around this problem by not loading the little cookie to your hard drive every single time.

The new version is said to be much improved on the original. The new version is strong in user interface and functional. Transferring files is also a dream with iExplorer HD for your iPad, whether it be files, sub-folders or folders, iExplorer HD for your iPad transfers them cleanly and easily between your Cloud drives or remote servers and your iPad.

The app has some amazing new features, which makes things much easier for a user. Features such as:
