Far better than stock Android file manager that does not even search folder name

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.

What a fantastic file manager, I regret I wasted so many years without this masterpiece. File manager cannot be any better than ossify and being open source is like cherry on top. Simple UI, can ZIP and unZIP file, create shortcuts, customize specific views each folder and move files across folders with ease. Please be as is, I like your simplistic look, don't change .

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.

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

Your App was good until- I have 9ย GB of internal storage, and 156ย 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!!
