Hi Annie, Since I've long been looking for apps to safely store and transfer private data and files on to my iPod, is the following the app you are referring to?
iExplorer By Zhigang Chen $5 Compatibility: Requires iOS 6.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5. Description With iExplorer (for iPhone) , you can manage/view files on your remote servers (Windows sharing server/FTP server/WebDAV server/OneDrive/Live Mesh/Google Docs/CloudMe/DropBox/Box.Net ...) in home, office and anywhere. iExplorer also is a good eBook reader, media player, photo viewer, and work assistant. You can read CHM, ePub, PDF and large text/PDB files with outline/bookmark/annotation support, play musics and movies without copying them to your device, view large photos on your PC/NAS and share to friends, edit spreadsheets on your Google Docs and save them as different formats, print any viewable documents. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iexplorer/id307733225?mt=8 I like that this app supports the following password protected utilities such as 7zip and Rar archiver: * Zip & Unzip files on local or NAS server/FTP server, support passcode protected zip/7zip/rar files If this is an accessible app, and if it does indeed support 7zip, this is great because my goal is to place zipped archive files with important information in my Dropbox to then transfer to my iDevice. Once in my iDevice, I can use this app to enter my long password to open the 7zip archive and move my personal data to relevant apps. Please let me know if this is not possible as I'd hate to throw away $5. <Smile>.
