Well after testing around 20 file managers, this is clearly the one with the sleekest design, simple with more than enough features and without any BS (like recents carousel). The only thing I can wish for is option to display dates in dd/mm/yy format. Thanks for ending my quest to find the best Android file manager.

This is one of the best file explorers/managers with multitabbed windows and Recycle Bin. However, it needs to support Shikoku, which enables access to the Android Data folder. Edit 2026.03.29: It is a pity that the developer hasn't made any changes since 27 October 2025.

There is something wrong with the "stream" feature of video player, it gave me url and "wget" in "termux" can easily access my video file with that url, please respond to this issue, I don't know it's a bug or a feature, but I don't want any app to host my files over localhost; Uninstalled.
