About the new permission "SuperUser":
This permission is now requested to make Total Commander work better on rooted devices. It tells the SuperUser app that Total Commander supports root functions. It has no effect if your device is not rooted. Root functions allow Total Commander to write to system folders like /system or /data. You will be warned before anything is written if the partition is write protected.

Ratings and reviews

Super-useful file explorer. Takes a little getting used to because it can do so much. I really like the ability to add shortcuts to the home screen. Even better, the shortcut icons can be customised, so, for example, you could have the browser logo on the shortcut to the download folder. You can also bookmark folders. Copy and paste buttons are available in the configurable button bar at bottom (Internal commands). Thank you! I still love it six years later.

I just can't get over how good this app is. Ive used it for years and came to check if I had paid or could. This is the only app free app and the best and easiest way to move files from one cloud to another. I needed to move from Currys cloud back up via FTP to OneDrive. Currys has truly dreadful software and web interface. Not only can Total commander connect to multiple OneDrive accounts it can handle multiple files. Thank you for this app.

A great app that I have used for years. Just noticed however that it seems to lack the ability to do file selection in a panel based on file comparison with the other panel. For example tag files in the left panel that are missing, newer or a different size etc. to the files in the right panel. If it does support this then how do I do it?
