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. You can find some more information here: http://su.chainfire.eu/#updates-permission

Comments on Total Commander - file manager for Android
★★★★★Andrei Savin· Jan 16, 2026
I had a DNG file that made all other file explorers crash, only Total Commander stayed strong and let me delete it.

One of the best free File Manager there's. Even if it says ads, much less than many. Although currently using Ghost File Explorer due to UI choice, another great free manager.
★★★★☆A Google user· Jan 6, 2026
A real file manager in android. Some difficult steps in rename file. Maybe find duplicate files' menu. Thank you.
★★★★★Michael Scott Rosas· Nov 25, 2025
There Might be better file explorers out there for You. But for me, this one is perfect! Ever since Win Commander this coder has always done it right. TC does what it should.! It gets in most all the nooks & crannies of the Android OS (root or non-root) The ONLY Problem I have with it is that it does NOT Work with Shikoku (open source) if it did that, it would might just be the perfect file manager...it sure (in Thery) (Maybe I'm wrong on this) but (Maybe Not)

Uh-oh. Your app doesn't allow me to copy/move a file my way. The moment I attempted to move a PNG file, a flashy window pops up, and the pic was gone in the folder, and I found out it moved it a step back to its parent folder. I tried copying it instead, but a flashy pop-up appeared again, and now it copied itself in the same directory. I couldn't tell what these pop-ups are, can't even read those. It just pops up flashily with loading bars and gone. If I can't copy/move, this app can't help.

I could not use it to find types of files scattered around. UI is convoluted.
★☆☆☆☆Martin Blazek· Apr 12, 2026
Unlike the Windows product which is legendary, this one sucks. How the hell do I move selected files??

Can not read the traditional chinese file on transfer, and cannot show unicode traditional chinese character on server side at total commander. In samsung s25 ultra.
