Hello All,
I have a user that has a new iPad Air. He is looking for an app that will allow him to access files on the Win2012 server on the corporate LAN. Any suggestions? All I have seen in the appstore is for downloading or uploading to "cloud" based file sharing sites. Not what we are looking for.
TIA.

Did you try and fail using the methods described by the 'Help' function of the Finder ?

If so, what didn't work and what error messages did you receive ?
Simon,
I guess you missed the part where I said that it's an iPad Air, not a Mac.😉
You are correct. I did. Sorry. I don't know the answer and hope someone else can help.
iOS does not natively support access to file servers, but there are third-party apps that do provide such capability. FileBrowser is one that is commonly recommended (I have no personal experience with it myself).

This company provides a more enterprise-class solution that's been suggested, though again I have no personal experience with it:

No worries, Simon.
I had heard about Filebrowser previously, but could not find it in the App store to research. I think that will do the job. I will be testing it out on my own iPad before recommending it to my user.
Thanks all.
