Perfect app. Hopefully in future there will be dark mode and encrypted file vault
★★★★★Dan S· Oct 1, 2026
This is one of the best apps ever made for Android devices, and it's free. It's fast and reliable and supports network and cloud storage as well as the Android Storage Access Framework (SAF), so you can access it from within many apps. Works on Android TV / Google TV. Displays large folders quickly, allows convenient mass deleting of files, can play audio or video. Sister app by Alpha Inventor to File Manager Plus: buy that to support them. Incredible effort. Just wish it was open-source.

Won't let me access files without selecting them for access, and then won't let me select them for access because of privacy concerns. Useless.
★☆☆☆☆Rodger Mayer· Oct 1, 2026
Eye strain app, no dark theme settings. Would be great with dark theme.
★★☆☆☆Conrad Braam (zaphodikus)· Oct 1, 2026
Functionality missing. Does not work over usb, requires Wi-Fi or other unwired network.
