Answer 1

Unless you are on a jailbroken phone, your app can only access files within its own “sandbox”.

There are three folders your app can access, which contain data specific to your application. Your app will not be able to access file data outside these folders.

With that caveat in mind, you would likely use:

1. NSFileManager and NSDirectoryEnumerator to build a data source to a table view
2. UITableView to present the list of files and folders obtained from step 1
3. UINavigationController to provide a navigation stack for walking through a hierarchy of folders: a stack of UITableView instances

to browse the list of accessible files and folders within your application’s sandbox.
