Check iOS Permissions
Sometimes iOS turns off local network access to apps after an app update or iOS update.
- Open the iOS Settings app.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Settings list and tap "Apps", and then FileBrowser.
If running iOS 17 or earlier scroll to the bottom of the Settings list and tap "FileBrowser". - Enable "Local Network".
