Ratings and reviews

a terrible file manager, it's so bad!!!! ok... I don't want or need a a file manager that recommends, or guesses, or tries to figure out what I am using the app for! I want a simple list of folder's that I can pick and open to see what's inside. This app is so locked down, no useful permissions, that it is a huge waist of my time!!! And very irritating!! Lastly, and most important, I can't uninstall it completely!!!! This is my phone, I paid for it, THIS IS NOT GOOGLE'S PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just now beginning to enjoy and learn about the many benefits of utilizing this application to save my phone from an assured destruction. Let's face it. Memory is everything. This application allows me to free up a lot of space and since I already sub to Google drive and Amazon photos everything should fall into place as I've got it set up. unfortunately one or both apps doesn't get my photos or videos. When I take a picture it's supposed to go to a few apps for survival. Not always the case

The removal of the ability to copy file/directory path information from a file explorer has to be one of The Dumbest Design Decision I Have Ever Encountered. Either the option is buried somewhere where I cannot find it, which points to a horrible UI design, or it's been completely removed, which points to someone in the product design eating too much glue as a kid.
