In reviewing FTP and File Manager apps for the iPad, I came across this:
Cloud Browser - Access to Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive, Amazon S3 and FTP by VietMobile
https://appsto.re/us/QyzDN.i
I can access files in Caustic, move them around, delete, create folders in Caustic etc. Also accesses AudioShare, Google Drive and Drop Box. It zips files and folders. It even previews samples from Caustic although it buffers them for a few seconds first.
I hope to look into this more thoroughly when I get a chance. Also, it is free - as in beer.
Thanks for the tip; I'll look into this once I put Caustic on my iPad.
My nephew has clogged my iPad with too many games. But, soon as he's gone for a few days...
Thank you.

This app is not really necessary for this purpose. All you have to do is go into Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage and just start deleting. Or hold down an app icon until they start to wiggle and tap on the "x". I find doing it in settings easier. All that wiggling makes me nervous.

I've literally no room left. I'm even deleting old recordings, Akai iMPC, purchased iTunes, pictures, most of his games, and a few other things.

I know how to delete. It's just explaining to a sixteen year old why his 8-ball pool tournament app is gone.

StePH, Caustic for iOS is beautiful! The latency difference is absurd. Everything just sounds crispy fresh.

Gotcha! It was easier to buy my kids their own devices so I wouldn't have to share mine! Fortunately I got them at reduced prices.

Here's an example of how to use Cloud Browser with Caustic. I want to map drum samples to PCMSynth. I have them in AudioShare. Put samples in a folder and zip it in AudioShare. Zip file won't "Open In" in Caustic from AudioShare. But it will Open In Cloud Browser. Connect Caustic and Cloud Browser via FTP. Copy zip from Cloud Browser to whatever folder you want in Caustic. Open the zip in a PCMSynth and you're done. Takes longer to type it out than to do it. No computer required.

Here's another. Cloud Browser has a web browser built in. Go to Caustic website. Download a preset from the Presets forum. It will be in the Cloud Browser Downloads folder. Tap on it and select Open In. Choose Caustic and you're done.

Almost sounds too good to be true.

It's the only app I've found that wasn't missing some part of the equation. File management including creating folders, deleting files and some other things was either missing or not fully implemented. This one seems like it was made for Caustic.

Hello anickt! Could you please simply describe, how to connect Caustic and Cloud Browser via FTP? Thank you
Also emailed you
Next time just start Caustic, start the Caustic FTP and then Cloud Browser. Click on Caustic in the left column under Clouds and all Caustic folders will show up on right.

Works perfectly! Thank you!
Thanks for this. I'm getting an Ipad for free soon so I will need to figure the file stuff out on IOS. This looks to be the ticket!
