Great file manager. I just can't understand why they removed the Dark Mode option.

I'm always disabled default file manager of my new phone and Then install CX file explorer because it is better app for coding on Android and inspecting file systems
★★★★★John Ward· Jul 7, 2026
I have been using this app for a few years now. I can easily access files on my home NAS, plug USB memory into my phone, copying files to and from internal memory and NAS. Easy to make home screen shortcuts. I found it far better and easier to use than similar apps. Can't fault it.

Best app I've used so far for samba shares well, after years...best app all around, still solid and main file app on all of my devices
★★☆☆☆LuigiGuy· Jul 7, 2026
It's a great app overall, but PLEASE add a Dark Mode/Theme! That would be the best thing for this already amazing app! Edit: PLEASE fix the "cache file clear" button as it flat out doesn't work at all.

Trust & Safety: The app requests extensive storage and network permissions, including MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, and AD_ID-related permissions, along with READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and Internet access. This aligns with its file-management and storage-cleaning functionality, but users should review permissions and ensure transparent data handling and clear privacy practices.
