Ratings and reviews

One of the oldest & best. Don't let the outdated looks deceive you. While I wish they would update the appearance a bit, this file manager is kept up to date & has all the features a file explorer needs. Navigation is intuitive & easy. Apps don't get this old with recent timely updates very often here. When they do there's a good reason. Explorer is a solid File Explorer.

Good replacement for basic file manager, which - since Android 11 - can't access the Android folder. Easy to navigate and move/copy files to where they need to. It is frustrating that when you plug in a USB device it always asks for permission to access it, then defaults to the SD card.

Best replacement for my old file explorer, however greatly reduced in the features. Would like to be able to at least see background processes within the app, instead of just a crummy notification. When I transfer large folders to network drives it can take a while & I don't know how much longer I have to stay connected to the network and if I leave to early there is no resume or detection of files already in target directory and have to recopy those as well. Simply put I want old ES Pro back
