Comments on Root Explorer for Android

★★★★★ Garry Robano · Oct 30, 2023

Best Root Explorer app. 1st app I install Been using for past 10+ years 👍👍👍

★★★★★ Jonathan Gluff · Jan 17, 2025

Even without root access, this is still one of the best file browsers on Android.

★★★★★ Juan Jaime · Dec 25, 2023

Been using this app for years (2010) And whether your rooted or not this has a lot of usefulness. Especially if you're rooted.

★★★★★ Shivaram Selvam · Jul 17, 2025

Great app with a low memory footprint. Any chance of including support for RAR files? Thanks.

won't rename files on sdcard says to allow to write permission. Then says to press button to allow in setting. Then glitches and shows store root explorer app main page. Android 14.

★☆☆☆☆ Fleik Fries · Jul 23, 2025

If Google Drive support was just removed, please take all the references out of your app description that say you have Google Drive support. Thanks!

20250910 This file manager STILL lacks the ability to display thumbnails of .webp files...in 2025...dispiriting. 20250909 Whenever I copy-paste a name to an image file (that apparently has an invalid character?) I end up with a question mark in place of said character, and I cannot rename (nor view) the image file. Oddly, I can view and rename the file when I connect my phone to my WIN blows 10 computer. I can also view and rename the file...in another ANDROID file manager.
