Remote Files Browser asks for one website at a time, after you press Open on its address. Choose Allow, so the extension can read the file list and download what you select.

If you chose Don't allow, press Open again. If a folder shows a message and an Allow access button, press it.

1. Open the same address in a normal Chrome tab. If the page does not load there, the problem is the address or the server.
2. On the error screen, press Open this page in a tab to see the page itself.
3. A server that builds its list with JavaScript is read as plain text only, because the extension never runs the scripts of a website.

A folder with nothing in it says This folder is empty.

Chrome may refuse a system folder such as Desktop, Documents or Downloads itself. Choose a folder inside it, or make a new one there. If you close the folder window, nothing is saved and nothing is shown as an error.

1. Open the gear icon and look at Web pages in Settings. The usual choice, Only on my saved connections, shows the bar only on the websites in Your connections.
2. To see it on other websites, choose On every website. Chrome then asks for access to all websites, and the pages are checked on your computer only.
3. The bar appears only on real folder list pages. After you press Cancel, it comes back when the page is loaded again.

Sign in to that website in a normal Chrome tab first, in the same Chrome profile. Then open the folder again. Remote Files Browser has no sign-in of its own and never asks for a password.

A ZIP file is built in your browser's memory, so a folder of several gigabytes may be too much for it. Use Save into a folder instead: the files are written straight to your disk.

One download can hold up to 5000 files and 20 folder levels. If some files fail, the progress panel says how many and why. You can press Cancel at any time.

They are kept only in this browser, on your device. They are deleted when you remove the extension, when you clear the extension's data, or when you choose Remove all saved connections in Settings. Nobody else has a copy, so they cannot be brought back.

Press the × on its card on the home page. To remove all of them, open Settings and choose Remove all saved connections.

No. Remote Files Browser has no account and no server, so we cannot see your connections and cannot recover them. Read the details in the privacy policy.
