Comments on Fossify File Manager for Android

★★★★☆ Trey · May 15, 2026

Finally! A file manager that feels desktop-like to use while having a clean mobile interface. Being Private, free and open-source definitely a plus! No longer have to deal with the nonsense that is Google Files or the seemingly abandoned built-in Android file explorer. Kinda wish there was a dedicated screen showing currently running file management tasks.

★★★★★ Lukas Simmonds · Dec 19, 2025

I LOVE this. So simple and easy to use. I wanted to create shortcuts to folders on my home screen and google file manager doesn't allow that for some reason. Ossify saves the day once again!

★☆☆☆☆ B · Feb 18, 2026

Prompts me with "Donate to Fosify" The only options are "Purchase Ossify Thank you app", or "Later". I cannot close the prompt without selecting either. I don't want to select "Later". So instead I decided to leave a negative review.

Your App was good until- I have 9 GB of internal storage, and 156 GB of SD storage availability- Your app is telling me"Not enough SD storage space"even though it has 'all files acess'- when I attempt to move files from internal to SD- Nothing I do will change this even uninstall & reinstall~ Please fix this!!

★☆☆☆☆ Nova · Feb 19, 2026

Constantly crashing trying to open and move files from a folder with 300+ files. Literally incapable of even opening the folder.

Doesn't recognize my external storage when plugged in (usb is there but nothing is on it.
