A React Native library providing native filesystem access on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. It offers APIs for reading, writing, deleting, and uploading/downloading files from JavaScript.

Use cases

  • download files to device storage in a react native app
  • read and write local files from javascript
  • upload files to a server from mobile
  • access the app documents directory on ios and android
  • manage local file storage in react native
  • save downloaded images or pdfs to the filesystem

When to choose

  • you need native file read/write access in a React Native app
  • you need background or resumable downloads on iOS/Android
  • you want a mature, widely used RN filesystem module with MIT license

When to avoid

  • you are building with Expo and don't want native modules (use expo-file-system)
  • you need full Android filesystem access beyond the app's files directory
  • you are starting a new project and prefer actively maintained alternatives like react-native-blob-util
