1ESRI FileGDB & OpenFileGDB are the same thing, you will not get full File Geodatabase support without ArcObjects installed on the same machine and this extended version has to be licensed by ESRI. The same goes with other software (FME is the same) in this case has Openfile GDB API and FileGDB (ArcObjects) the latter must been installed and licensed see the matrix tables knowledge.safe.com/articles/Samples_and_Demos/…)– Mapperz ♦Commented Oct 27, 2015 at 14:56

1There is a tangible difference between ArcObjects, the Esri File Geodatabase API, and the Open FileGDB libraries. I know FME can use core ArcGIS libraries, but I thought QGIS was limited to a choice between the Esri and Open file geodatabases libraries (the latter being open-source, reverse-engineered (and read-only) and the former being provided as a library by Esri (and read-write, except for complex feature classes))– VinceCommented Oct 27, 2015 at 16:09

1It Works For Me(tm). Select "Directory" in that "Add vector layer" dialog box, set the Source/Type to "ESRI FileGDB", click the "Browse" button to get the "Open Directory" dialog, browse to the directory that is the FileGDB, and choose which feature classes to add as layer(s), voila.
