Comments on Total Commander - file manager for Android
★★★★★Bill Law (b123)· Mar 16, 2026
Excellent app, use it all the time, for all my files on my Android phone
★★★★★Richard Vytasek· Nov 25, 2025
Best file manager on android, flexible for various tasks, yet lightweight. Shame that the developer was forced to reduce functionality of the play version. Sideloaded version fixes that.
★★★★☆JAKON MADUKA· May 31, 2026
It's unfortunate that you cannot (un)I stall apps anymore. I'm aware as to why, but it's still unfortunate. It used to be ES File Explorer before they got bought out, but total commander is the best free file manager out there. The built-in media player is awesome. Hopefully (but unlikely) android allows developers to have their apps (un)install things again
★★★★★Eugene Khakhalev· Sep 15, 2025
I just love it. The only app that can easily access local NAS. Shame on Google for diabling apk installation from Total Commander.
★★☆☆☆JCJ Cortz· Nov 20, 2025
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.

This app might genuinely have the worst UI design I've ever come across. Something as simple as copy and pasting files is hidden behind a bunch of nonsensical options. Just get Explorer and save yourself the headache of using this.
