File Manager

Finally found out "move" doesn't actually **move** files it just copies and pastes without ever deleting the originals, which is completely useless for me. (Also that's NOT the definition of MOVE) After trying multiple times with the same files (bc I thought they never transferred) I look in the destination folder in my cloud to find that they've been copied 5 times over. This whole time I thought it wasn't going because the original files were still there. What a waste of my data and time.

I was having an issue with Google photos not deleting backed up photos and videos from my device. My storage showed 24gb being used for photos and videos but when I'd open it to delete them it wouldn't have anything in it. A support thread suggested downloading a file manager app to find the files so they could be deleted. I was skeptical but the other option was a factory reset without restoring anything and that felt really not fun so I gave this app a try. It worked perfectly. Thanks!

4/2/23 - This is almost great. Thought I'd finally found a fairly ideal file manager; well designed, attractive, fast, found my local SMB servers, etc, etc... and was excitedly about to purchase, then realized that the only Cloud service it'll connect to is Google Drive! Why even have a "Cloud" icon!? You might as well just have a "Google Drive" icon. I use Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive; each for different purposes. How strangely limiting. Very disappointing! Sooooo close.

Great app for freeing up space on smartphone. I downloaded this app for one reason I had a notification on my Samsung smartphone telling me to "free space" feature on " My Files" under Samsung folder. It wouldn't allow me to upgrade my apps on my smartphone. I was force to make a tough decision. I decided to search for File Manager app, so I can transfer apps I download now and the future can be transfered to my micro SD card. The clean master helps lessen the amount of junk I have on my phone.

I don't leave reviews. I used the app, loved the experience, and came back to leave a review. I expected the functionality but the UI is clean, it flows very nicely, and was a quick experience. If I had to give any constructive criticism, it would be to please add the percentage of completion when deleting files; I deleted a particularly large set of files and didn't know how long I was waiting for. 10/10 experience. I am leaving it installed on my phone for when I need it again. Thanks, FM

Once the best file manager, now it's absolutely terrible. They've added ads into the app. If you open a file, and then back out to the file manager, you get a full screen ad. Absolute garbage. The developers say the ads are to help "keep the app free". Amaze File Manager is free and has no ads.

Fantastic. Could not get es explorer to see external camera attached to my phone. File msnager on phone kept closing app. This app works great with external camera drive and can play the videos perfectly. Con: Only bad thing I could find is that, although it can zoom, the zoom location is not controlable, and the whole screen is center-zoomed. It would be great if the zoom location could be controlled.

Straightforward & easy to use app that does exactly what I want it to do. Moving multiple files between internal storage & external SD card is no longer the headache it was with my former file manager (which is actually why I was looking for a new file manager & what led me to this one). Interface is clean, simple, & with dark mode enabled (a must for me) it's one of the most aesthetically appealing file management apps I've used.

Great app. Allows for moving, editing, transferring, copying, renaming, organizing, uploading, downloading, compressing, resizing and cropping of all files and folders on your phone. The best part is it practically takes up no space at all. The only improvement I have to suggest is to include an option to change the theme of the app. Maybe have light, dark and auto themes for free. Change colors to red, green, purple etc. with dark, light and auto for a price. I'd pay a dollar or two for that.

Good app for managing everything I've downloaded and synced from phones, camera's, tablets, laptops and whatever else I've had stuff saved on for over 20 years. If I knew which permissions to give it, I think it would be even smoother. Great app but when looking at it's permissions, it could really wreck a device fast if it went haywire or could be controlled remotely. For what it does, it's well worth the handful of ads I saw.

I will be removing this app. It does what I want from a file manager, and the embedded functions for file viewing are well executed. However, I DID NOT want a cache cleaner, or a CPU Cooler, or a Battery Manager, or a Phone Boost (whatever that is), or a Cleaner. I want a file manager. Just that. These additional functions are an annoyance and intrusion, and there is no way to turn them off or to eliminate the notifications that are forced on me by the latest version. You lose, XFolder.

Very efficient. Love the dark theme. No ads. It appears to be secure. The layout is exceptional. LOVE the recent files feature that allows you to scroll down through recently accessed or added files. There doesn't appear to be any bugs or issues. There's no lagging. I can select multiple files. There's a recycle bin, and tons of built in features to view and play files. I prefer this over the gʘ‿ʘgle F.M. by far. Very nice and free-for-real without intrusive ads. Much appreciated.

I wanted to replace my built-in managers with something more useful because both were really lacking. This one is packed with features that it even obsoletes RAR. It's built-in player is way more stable than GFiles that it doesn't crash when attempting to play media. The ability to hide files and folders allows for a more organized layout, and it's just as easy to navigate. Although I haven't tried all features available, I think it's safe to say that they're all well optimized.

After over a year and six different phones, I absolutely love it. In all that time it may have given me an ad or two, but I don't recall for certain, as I play with lots of apps that DO bury me under a ton of ads. None of the file management tools that came with the phones even come close to the sheer functionality of this app. It does exactly what the description says and does it well. It's the third thing I install on new phones (after Kindle and DoorDash).

Former ES File Explorer user / holdout here. (the old version that I backed up and never updated) While I still vastly prefer the ES File Explorer UI, which is entirely subjective, I finally got fed up with the inability to create links on the desktop due to Android updates. So, I finally made the switch to File Manager and I can honestly say that I will never look back. File manager has everything you need. If I were to nitpick, the ability to reorder the My favorites list would be nice.

Workz for browsing huge gif files. the default file browser will pre-load all gifs i any folder opened, even if they are close to a GB in size. program would always crash. luckily, THIS app is smart enough to not preload files if they are big enough to impact performance. big gifs will simply not play in preview mode. you are now a better dev than google, congrats. i spent $4 for premium, thank you for not using a subscription-based business model.

This app is fantastic with USB storage. I store all my photos to USB storage, and the standard gallery app (Samsung and others) could not read from the USB type C flash storage. But with this app, I can view, read and write photos from the internal memory, SD memory AND USB memory. The photos are viewable as if you are using a photo manager app. Exactly what I needed!
