Pros & Cons

  • Broad protocol compatibility (SMB/NFS/FTP/SFTP/WebDAV) and wide cloud storage support
  • Built-in FTP/HTTP servers enable easy file transfer and remote access
  • SAF Provider integration and drag-and-drop across mobile, desktop, and TV
  • Owlfiles Pro offers unlimited connections, sync, photo editing, and backup across devices
  • Competitors sometimes emphasize media playback (videos/music) and traditional file manager branding; Owlfiles may have less focus on these built-in media features
  • Some users might prefer stronger emphasis on local folder management or media-centric workflows seen in rival apps
  • Backup-oriented workflows are more prominently marketed by competitors in some cases

Comments on Owlfiles - File Manager for Android

★★★★☆ Share · Jul 15, 2026
I hate windows SMB, windows always gives some sort of credentials problem even if you do the same exact steps. Owl file didn't solve the smb problem 100%, but it did provide good workarounds
★★★★☆ Ronald · Jun 19, 2026
This app was recommended to me by Microsoft Copilot :-) because I was looking for a file manager app that supports cloud and MEGA. This app opens files fast, has a logical structure and many useful features. Eg, 1. This is the first file manager that shows the full names of files in grid view. Other file manager show full names only in list view. 2. Selecting 'Sort folder first' shows my photos and videos really from current date and not sorted by apps like most file managers do. 3. Many more!
★★★★★ Rasitha Rajapaksha · Mar 29, 2025
Please add these features. 1.remember display settings (list view & grid view) for each folder 2.file transfer progress refresh every second or half seconds good work this is the only file manager with NFS support & its working too...
★★★★★ Kurt Shapiro · Nov 22, 2025
I can use it to work with S3 buckets. UI isn't as customizable as some other file managers, but the capabilities, especially the S3 capabilities, make this my favorite file manager now. I've got paid versions of like half a dozen file managers, but, because of the S3 capabilities, this is the one I use. I haven't gone "pro" yet, as it's little expensive for a file manager and I don't do subscription software. I might go pro in a couple of months though.

Bad Owl files File Manager App For Google Drive Removed I am Not Happy
★★☆☆☆ Mohamed Elshawaf · Dec 7, 2024
No longer works for sending files over FTP (sending fails after few seconds). Hopefully this is a temporary bug in the latest version.
★☆☆☆☆ Josh Jennys · Nov 14, 2025
Owl Files doesn't work, and it thinks I am connected to my home VPN NAS when I am not as a test, and even when I am connected, it thinks all my shares are empty which they are not. Do not download this app. It's very broken.
★☆☆☆☆ Ron aldo · Jul 12, 2025
Why does a file manager access my contacts?? Other apps are no longer listed under contacts, only this app🥴🤔 please add support for dual display of folders
★☆☆☆☆ -Dar win - · Sep 24, 2025
