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

Allows you to do basic things that everyone expects every phone should have been able to do already. I bet the next version of android wont let you charge the battery without a third party app. Hey Google, if you want to run a monopoly, try having a *product that exists*. My phone was a total loss without a native file manager, I had nothing to lose, might as well try risky apps with shady names. Was surprised it worked as a media player, another thing my phone didnt come with. No problems yet.

If you want an original experience when it comes to browsing and files and storing files on your device I would recommend this file manager all the others are like new school and New age this one is the only one that is a sense that is fundamentally like the old school style of file managers how you can browse from one file to another and essentially just move down through the files of the arrows instead of having an entire group of files to select from is very nostalgic and familiar

I've been using this for years! I can't recommend it enough. Most built-in File Manager software for Android devices, are horrible. The number of plug-ins makes this already excellent app, a cornicopia of utility. To make me quit using it, you'd have to pry it from my corpse. Seriously though, it's great! A must have for anyone with digital storage and a need to access it.
