FileTree: File Manager

Remember when a file manager was just a file manager? ES File Explorer was the one everybody had — then it was pulled from the store in an ad-fraud scandal, and the category filled up with "cleaners" that nag, fake-scan, and inject ads into your file lists. FileTree is the file manager from before all that, rebuilt clean.

THE CLASSIC JOBS, DONE WELL
• Browse folders with breadcrumbs, sort by name, date, size, or type, in list or grid view.
• Copy, move, rename, delete, multi-select, create folders and files — the whole toolkit, nothing paywalled.
• Zip files and folders into real .zip archives, and unzip archives you receive. The zip engine is built in, not rented.
• Search by name across every place the app can reach.
• Preview images and text files right in the app; send anything else to your viewer of choice with the share button.
• Bookmarks for the folders you live in, a recent-files list, and a straight-numbers storage view: what's used, what's free, and your largest files. No "junk score." Ever.

HONEST ABOUT REACH — READ THIS PART
Android keeps every app in its own sandbox. FileTree manages its own app storage, plus any folder you hand it with the system folder picker (Files → "Add folder…"). It cannot see other apps' private data or system folders — and neither can any honest file manager on a modern phone. Apps that promise to clean your whole phone are promising something Android doesn't allow. We'd rather tell you the truth and do the reachable part well.

WHAT'S NOT IN HERE
No RAM booster. No fake virus scan. No cleaner theater. No account, no sign-up, no ads in your file lists, and nothing you open ever leaves your device — FileTree collects nothing.

A SHOP FOR THE EXTRAS
The Shop tab gathers drives, memory cards, and adapters from online sellers — for when the honest answer is "you need a bigger card." Prices and checkout stay with the seller.

LISTEN WHILE YOU SORT
Looking Glass Radio, our own live internet station, is built in — and off by default. Tap the ♪ button only if you want music; tap again and it disconnects completely. Credit: background music made with lookingglassai.us.

THE DEAL
Free, American owned, veteran operated. Your files are yours; FileTree just helps you carry them.

One honest limit: files up to 32 MB can be previewed, zipped, and moved inside the app; larger files can still be browsed, renamed, and deleted. Every big promise in this category should come with its limits printed. Ours just did.
