Ratings and reviews

This is your go-to solution if your ROM doesn't have a file manager or it's way too barebones to be actually usable (pre-Pie AOSP), has none to basic archive management options (TouchWiz), or you just want a functional file management application with archiving capabilities, root access and cloud storage support. It even has a basic image viewer and a text editor if you ever need that, and can manage installation of XAPK bundles, too! Get the pro version if you can, it's well worth it.

ZArchiver has been a reliable tool for file management and compression, but I'm disappointed by the lack of updates since August. In the fast-paced world of technology, it's crucial for apps to stay up to date with bug fixes, improvements, and security enhancements. The fact that ZArchiver hasn't seen an update in quite some time is concerning, and it leaves the app feeling outdated and vulnerable. I hope the developers address this issue soon.

Exactly what I'm looking for shows where your unzipped file is gonna be, it asks if you'd like it in the current folder or another location and shows the file path to said folders as well. One slight thing was that it didn't really ask for SD card permissions at start up and i to trigger it manually.But that's not a big deal. I haven't tried zipping up any files yet but if you want some files unzipped use this app.
