One of the OGs and best Android File Manager around. Love being able to share, send, or 'Open With..." files to various apps and to G drive. Very light. 4 stars b/c ONE THING that is very frustrating: There's no way to "Limit Search" to a specified folder or group of folders. This is a problem b/c there are folders with thousands of thumbnails and gibberish-named encrypted files. Explorer searches through these folders every time which takes ages! 5 stars when I can omit these folders. Cheers

This is the best file manager app for android so far, it looks quite simple but very cool. The features are very sufficient and make my work much more practical. Thank you for developing Explorer! Greetings from Indonesia.

This app has received a bad update that removes the ability to open the Android/data folder. It's stupid and unnecessary for an update to remove a feature. I installed an older version, opened Android/data, then updated, and I could navigate the folder just fine. I exited the folder and then couldn't reopen it. Please undo the stupid update and do not remove features in updates. The ability to open Android/data should still be included in the app for devices that support this feature.

Ok. I selected 2 files and asked the app to create a zip first then a tar. I still have to figure out where this app created the zip/tar ! I know it is somewhere in the android file hierarchy.but where? In which folder? Y doesn't tha app say, ur zip/tar is created under ? Developer, pls note. Ur users are not tech-savvy as u r. Thanks.
