Comments on File Explorer: File Manager for Android

★★★★★ Ze Kitez · May 30, 2026
Great app that does what a file explorer should do. And very important: NO ads !
★★★★☆ Mark McClan (formerly Blatchford) · Oct 2, 2022
Nice, simple interface, that has potential. Using Galaxy S21+, I've also had issue with the long press frequently not bringing up the context menu. Would also like to see - being able to select non-sequential items (e.g. when deleting multiple files, currently can only select a single block, or all files in a list), and - to be able to control scrolling (e.g. when I flick to scroll and let go, I have to wait for the scrolling to stop before I can continue to scroll or change direction.
★★★★☆ Seto · Jul 31, 2026
It would be good if the app included the ability to access the Android/data folder since currently it does not have that, unlike many others file manager applications which can do so using Shikoku permissions, and please add material you design🙏🙏
★★☆☆☆ PRIVATE EYE · Mar 20, 2021
NEW UPDATE 03.21.2012. TERRIBLE! Doesn't Rename files only shows error also no more file actually is. even after delete some file. WHY???
★★☆☆☆ Silvestru Iapascurta · Nov 13, 2022
This app was the perfect mix of minimalism and functionality. I loved it. Until the developer introduced a silent update that did nothing but place a BIG pop-up ad for a random application in my notifications and on application start. For a moment I thought that my phone was infected with malware -- I did NOT expect this from a file manager. Knowing that it has access to my file system, I am uninstalling this piece of s*. It's OK to earn money... it's not OK to dump malware ads out of the blue
★★☆☆☆ Siddharth Sid · Jan 14, 2021
No access to external SD card. No clue whether + button is to add new files or folders. Otherwise clean and ad-free.

Description by Mauricio Togneri Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Take control of your files with File Explorer, the clean, fast, and intuitive file manager designed for everyone. Whether you're organizing photos, managing downloads, or freeing up storage space, this powerful file manager makes it simple.

▸ BROWSE WITH EASE
Navigate your files effortlessly with a modern, clutter-free interface. Use breadcrumb navigation to jump directly to any parent folder with a single tap. Quick access sections put your most-used locations — Downloads, Images, Videos, Audio, Documents, Camera, Screenshots, and Podcasts — right at your fingertips. A full file browser for internal storage, SD cards, and USB OTG drives.

▸ MANAGE YOUR FILES
Everything you need, nothing you don't:
✓ Copy, move, rename, and delete files and folders
✓ Create new folders anywhere
✓ Share files or open with any app of your choice
✓ APK installer: install apps from APK files
✓ Select multiple items for batch operations
✓ Sort by name, size, or date in either direction
✓ Show or hide hidden files and folders
✓ Progress indicators for long-running operations
✓ Customizable swipe gestures: choose what swiping left or right does

▸ PRIVACY FIRST
File Explorer works offline: it needs no internet connection, and your files never leave your device. Completely free, with no ads, in-app purchases, subscriptions, or sign-up. A file manager that respects your privacy.

▸ ANALYZE YOUR STORAGE
The built-in storage analyzer shows what's filling up your device, with each drive broken down by category in a clear chart. Tap a category to see its largest files first, then open or delete them to free up space.

▸ FIND ANYTHING FAST
Real-time search finds any file by name as you type, across internal storage, SD cards, and USB drives. Filter by files or folders, media type, or hidden items to find exactly what you need.

▸ BUILT-IN PDF READER & VIEWERS
No app for a file? File Explorer opens it itself: text and code files, zoomable photos and animated GIFs, PDFs (with search and password support on newer Android versions), music with album art, and full-screen video, with nothing else to install.

▸ COMPRESS & EXTRACT
Built-in ZIP support lets you compress files to save space and share them easily. Unzip archives with full support for password-protected files. No additional apps needed.

▸ KEEP FAVORITES CLOSE
Star the files and folders you use most and they'll be waiting on the app's home screen, one tap away. Add or remove favorites from the file list, search results, or recents, or clear them all at once.

▸ RICH PREVIEWS
See more than just filenames. This file manager generates thumbnails for images, video frames, app icons for APKs, album art for audio files, book covers for EPUBs, and rendered SVG graphics.

▸ DETAILED FILE INFORMATION
Open any file's details to see metadata tailored to its type: EXIF and GPS for photos, artist and album for audio, resolution for videos, plus details for PDFs, APKs, archives, documents, and more.

▸ MAKE IT YOURS
Tailor the app to how you work: pick which locations show on the app's home screen and reorder its sections, choose a start folder, set what swipes do and what shows under each file, and turn recent files off anytime.

▸ BEAUTIFUL THEMES
A modern Material Design 3 look in Light, Dark, or System default theme. Every screen looks great in any lighting condition.

▸ BUILT FOR EVERYONE
Works on Android 7.0 and above, in 20 languages. Arabic and Urdu get right-to-left layouts.
