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.

Hey, great file manager, please add dark mode support, thanks
★★★★★Seth Bailey· Jul 2, 2026
Ive used this file explorer for years on many devices. Even if it's to mod games, download apks, or just to manage my files. 10/10 app!
★★★★★Bob Richards· Jul 12, 2026
Best I have found for dealing with Onedrive. Copies or moves folders, doesn't have a problem finding files on the phone.
★★☆☆☆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.

Has no intention of listening to recommendations of what is to be changed to the application. Program with 1 major flaw, your copy/move screen locks one out from doing anything else, make it a minimalist capable option rather, relook all functions that require this fix.

Very useful but cant locate any help. Can't find basic things like navigate forwards, navigate up. Also tabs which I understand are there somewhere, but these things seem to be well hidden
