Chrome extension · Free
Remote Files Browser turns a plain web folder list into a clean file manager. See folders and files with clear icons, then download one file, a few files or a whole folder.
What you get
Open a folder address and it looks like the folders on your own computer. Browse, search and save what you need.
01 · Browse
Every file has an icon that shows its type, such as PDF, ZIP or JPG. Folders come first. See the size and the date, search the folder and sort the list.
02 · Download
Press the download icon on a folder. Choose a place once, and the folder is created there with every file inside. Or save everything as one ZIP file.
03 · Views
Switch between list and grid with one button. In the grid, pictures show a small preview. Choose light, dark, or the same as your computer.
04 · Page bar
On a web page that is a folder list, a blue bar can offer to open that folder in Remote Files Browser. You choose where the bar appears, or turn it off.
What it opens
Remote Files Browser reads the standard folder lists, often titled Index of. Apache, nginx, lighttpd and Python's http.server are supported, and so are similar servers and WebDAV.
A folder that has its own index.html is still listed. The extension reads that page as plain text and never runs it.
Private by design
Remote Files Browser has no server of its own, so nothing is sent to Rocuo or to anyone else. Chrome connects straight to the website you type, the same as opening it in a tab.
Your saved connections stay in this browser. There is no account, no server of ours, no ads and no tracking.
Permissions
Chrome asks you before you add any extension. Here is what Remote Files Browser asks for, and why.
How it works
No sign-up and no setup. Add it, paste a folder address, and save what you need.
Remote Files Browser
Free · By Rocuo
Add to Chrome
Open the Chrome Web Store page and press Add to Chrome. It is free and needs no account.
Click the extension icon, paste the address of a web folder and press Open. Chrome asks once if the extension may use that website.
Press the download icon on a file or a folder. Save a folder to a place you choose, or as one ZIP file.
Questions
Short answers to the things we expect to hear most. If yours is not here, the support page can help.
Yes. It is free, with no ads and no purchases.
No. There is no sign-in. Click the extension icon, paste a folder address and press Open.
The plain folder lists that web servers show, often titled Index of. Apache, nginx, lighttpd and Python's http.server are supported, and so are similar servers. A folder that has its own index.html is still listed.
Not unless you allow it. Chrome asks you to allow one website at a time, and only after you type its address and press Open. The extension does not ask to see your open tabs or your browsing history. The optional blue bar checks pages only on the websites you choose in Settings. It does this on your computer and sends nothing anywhere.
In your browser, on your own device. Rocuo has no server for this extension, so your addresses never reach us. Removing the extension, or choosing Remove all saved connections in Settings, deletes them.
Press the download icon on the folder and choose Save into a folder, or Download as ZIP. With Save into a folder you choose a place once, and the folder is created there with every file inside. If the name is taken, you get a new one such as Photos (2), and nothing is overwritten.
One download can hold up to 5000 files and 20 folder levels. A ZIP file is built in your browser's memory, so for folders of several gigabytes choose Save into a folder.
Only if you are already signed in to that site in the same Chrome profile. The extension has no sign-in of its own and never asks for a password.
Chrome 110 or newer.
Free, with no account, and nothing leaves your computer. Open a web folder the way you open a folder on your own computer.
