This is one of the best alternative for Solid file Explorer. But there is also need for improvement though. Like there is limited files shown on recent files. Quick acess does not work, you can not set recent files page as default window after opening the app. And the app does not open recent files after it is closed from recent files window.

Please create separate version of file manager for Android TV also, currently available manager is working properly on Android TV.

Great App but one UI change needed: Showing "Amaze" at top with the current path below takes too much space and is very unpleasant the eye. Please Show path at top removing app name. Also, Amaze File utility does not support newer Android versions.
★☆☆☆☆As if I Care· Dec 20, 2025
This is a joke. I have been looking for a File Manager that can view Rights and change for files and folders in particular setting whole folders to RO read only. So that I can be confident that Google in they're infinite wisdom isn't going to Wax my files that I have bought or created myself. Well I installed Amaz and it sees my folders. But none of my files. WHAT GIVES

Recursive copy and paste does not work in this product. This product is a complete waste of time for me. If I try to copy a folder with files and subfolders, it reports that it's going to copy one folder and 0 files. If I issue a paste in the destination, nothing happens. The only way I can copy folders in their files is to create the folder manually at the destination and then copy the files into it from the source. A complete waste of time.

Can't get it to connect to my Windows PC through SMB ("Oops, an error occurred", nor to my Linux boxes through SSH ("Unable to connect. Class config..."). No problems connecting to either through Solid Explorer.

The app gets stuck whenever I click on a compressed file to view its contents. Also, it doesn't have self extract option, always have to use another app for extraction.
