Just got an iPhone upgrade, but now I am stuck on something. My old iPhone 4 I had an app called "Files" that allowed me to upload files via web browser or enter a URL for a file and it would fetch it. It had a built-in media player, PDF viewer, etc.

Checking the App Store, the app isn't available any more from the same publisher. So now I need a replacement.

Requirements:

  • Upload media files via wireless OR via plugging in to my Linux systems via USB. I do not have a Mac or Windows machine of any type available to me.

  • Able to add files to the Music app that comes with iOS OR have its own media player built in.

  • Support for play lists, random/shuffle/repeat play required.

  • MP3 support required, movie file (mp4/mov) support would be nice but not required, PDF or other document file support would be nice but not required.

Prefer free, but low one-time cost is acceptable. No adverts.

Google Play Music is the best option for you. Can upload your favorites tracks through your browser and listen on your smartphone, tablet or TV.

  • If I wanted to use up my bandwidth I'd drop the files on my own media server :)

  • Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

VLC mobile has a built in http server. Once you enable it it shows you an IP/port, once you visit that address from your computer browser you can upload files.
