Comments on Ghost Commander File Manager for Android

★★★★★ This one of the best file managers I've used on Android. Having said that I'm giving it 4 stars due to lack of Google Drive support due to the plugin for it not working on versions past 1.60.4 & the fact that it can only extract zip files.
★★★★★ This file manager has all the useful stuff without the bloat and annoying extras. You can customize as you like and its Ad free open source. doesn't get any better. 🕺👍
★★☆☆☆ On mobile, a long press should be an automatic select, or at the very least, open a contextual menu allowing you to select *specific* items at will. Additionally, the select option in the top menu really doesn't need to select everything in a folder at once, forcing you to deselect the items you didn't want selected, or go through the unnecessarily extra steps of using a file mask.
★★☆☆☆ Buggy and poorly designed. There are two places where where where the user has to designate the sorting method. Tapping on folders does not always open them.
★★☆☆☆ Worst ftp client ever with no proper guide at least with examples to connect to local ftp server with an ip address, WHY? Powerftp is much better though it comes with ads!
