Comments on Cx File Explorer for Android

★★★★★ PastaAivo · Oct 29, 2026
After many years of use, I can say this file manager is genuinely helping to keep my sanity with my Androids. Easy to use, in-built viewers and players for many common file types, local network functions flawlessly, etc. Basically the app does everything it needs to do as a file manager, unlike so many other competitors.
★★★★★ Joseph Gonzalez · Oct 16, 2026
I use it with a Synology NAS over a VPN. Mostly just photos and text files. Videos I navigate to with this but actually play them with VLC. Works great for at least all that!
★★★★★ James · Oct 28, 2026
Best file manager with network access I've ever used. Just needs dark mode please 🙏🏻
★★★★★ OldMetalhead · Oct 28, 2026
Great file explorer with built-in network support and a ftp server.
★☆☆☆☆ SK · Oct 29, 2026
Outdated design, poor slow extraction of archives. Not recommended.
★☆☆☆☆ Erik · Oct 30, 2026
I have been trying to use this app for years, but it is hard to see, outside in the sun, and at nighttime, it is way too bright for me. Most of my other apps have a modern, black amoled theme which solves both problems for me, but CX has an outdated theme. I'm finally switching to In shot Folder and Solid Explorer, and so far, so good.
