iOS App Store seems to have about nine hundred ‘file managers’ all of which are anything but and demand ridiculous subscription costs.
Is there a decent file manager for iOS that actually will do file management things like select multiple file & rename etc that isn’t a scammy subscription/Ad ridden mess?

I might be missing something here, but why wouldn’t you just use the Files iOS system app?

Because it’s extremely basic. I want to do more sophisticated file management. At the moment I kludge Apple's Files app with home brewed Shortcuts but I find Shortcuts to be buggy. There are some small utilities available in the App Store to supplement but there are not very cost effective.

You can skip the paid version and use the app for free. I think they deliberately kept the skip/cross option tiny so that isn't visible.

On mobile devices I was/am quite happy with FileBrowser Pro. it's 17,99 EUR one-time payment. i used it for batch file rename and photo management (files).

I’ve always just used ES File Manager

Thank you for your suggestion. $99.99 to do file management tasks is a bit rich for me …

I’ve only used the free version to be fair
