Comments on Light File Explorer for Android

★★★★★ Raimund Popper · Apr 20, 2019
This is the best File Manager available for android. It is very simple to use with clear and intuitive functionality and also very powerful. It has the best designed user interface and is also extremely fast. This is one of the best apps available for managing large data. Congratulations to the developer for designing such a superb tool.
★★★★★ Cyberknight Massao Kawata · Apr 27, 2017
Finally, a File Manager that shows up all the information of the files, without cropping anything. It wraps long file names and has lots of options, some aesthetic, like colors, others functional, like recursive file counting and checkboxes for multi-selection (although, currently, it only multi-selects files). It lacks option to move directories (currently, it only copies, and one at a time).
★★★★★ Graham Phillips · Dec 7, 2016
Too Basic Although it's way too basic and limited to be used realistically at the moment, its honesty and leanness is great. It's everything the developer described it as being. To understand the gui you need to be familiar with the raw nature of file systems, and there is no cloud access. I hope this is the emergence of a light yet practical app following, or even setting a path that other developers could follow.
★☆☆☆☆ prasad sawant · Dec 26, 2018
Takes too much time for cut pasting files, multiple selection should be easy.

Description by T Bergkvist Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Light File Explorer (LFE) is a file manager app. It shows files and folders at their actual location path starting at "/".
To use it, it is good to be a bit familiar with Android/*ux file system structure.

LFE provides many file operations:
- Open file (default, or force as text or image)
- Copy to
- Move to
- Rename
- Delete
- Compress & extract zip and gzip. No password support.
- Show checksum (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256)
- Show properties
- Share
- Compare folders
- Create new file and folder

It has a very extensive search function where, for example, it is possible to have two conditions on file/folder name.

It does not have any cloud/network functions, but with the "Share" file menu option, you can invoke any such apps/features supported on the device.

LFE can have multiple browse and search views, which one can quickly switch between.

LFE has an old school ui, where all actions are accessed via three pure textual menus:
- File/folder context menu, for file operations.
- View button context menu, for view related actions.
- Main menu for various actions.

Modest permission requirements - it only asks for the storage permission.
Free and no ads.
No user/usage data collection.
Uses 0 bytes wi-fi and mobile data.

Localization: English
