Ratings and reviews

Good app with great features, easy file navigation, even plays videos. BUT, renaming a file sometimes makes the file disappear from the Google Photos app or from Google Files. This seems like a serious issue. Some sort of link / directory structure is being broken. Is anyone still maintaining this handy app?

Great app. Easy to use. Neat interface. My favourite feature: it let's you see at a glance the largest files taking up space on your device. Also shows root memory (for those who like that kinda stuff). However, thumbnails seem to remain on the device after deleting them from the app. I often have to go through my phone's default storage management app (settings) to delete thumbnails.

Really good app with beautiful UI, customisable. I would give it five stars, but one issue: if the file's name starts with the author's last name, and you write it in the search box with the first name followed by the last name, or vice versa, the app search results will be "0". This is an important issue that should be fixed. I work with books, so, this issue is of first priority. The only File Manager that does it correctly is the Samsung My Files app. Please fix this issue. Really great app!
