Hi Everyone,

I just got an ipad air for my mom and I am looking for an application that will allow me to access my NAS drives on my local network. I am also trying to load realplayer(rm, rmvb) files on my NAS. I have tested the following apps from the appstore:

FileExplorer Free by Steven Zhang - free and doesn't let me open rmvb files until upgrade $4.99

ES File Explorer - File Manager by Educational Technology - paid $1.99 but doesn't let you add network drives other than the 2 listed which is OneDrive and Google Drive.

VLC works with accessing realplayer video files but it is a bit complicated to navigate to for an old school asian parent. It have to be straight forward and simple for them.

Do anyone have any recommendation on a good file explorer that are known and works amazingly without issues. I don't mind paying a small amount, maybe up to $5 but I need to know it works 100 %

Any information is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
