Ratings and reviews

4 out of 5 Stars. Why? I'll break it down 4 U: I love how you can just organize and keep things simple, but complex. My ranks based on numbers and letters, I give this a 9.5 out of 10 as well as an A tier. The reason it's not an S tier or a 10/10 is because let's say if you have laptop at home right? This app does not allow you to save your pictures or your videos onto your laptop just by syncing the two devices together. and if it did it has to be the same Files app Version. But it isn't.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It always works well. It looks at duplicates, stuff you haven't used in a while, and big stuff. (photos, screenshots, documents, and apps) You don't have to completely decide at one time. By that I mean you can choose something and look at it. Then send it to trash or not. In trash you can look at it again and restore it, or you can completely delete it. I have a 2023 Moto g Stylus that always runs fast, thanks to this tool.
