One of the main advantages of Android before iOS, in the eyes of a number of users is access to the file system – in this terms of Android much closer to the desktop operating system than to its main mobile competitor. And if you have access to the file system – hence, need and file manager.
ES File Explorer (ES File Explorer) is perhaps the most popular utility of such a plan (more than 50 million downloads of the Play Market and 1 million. 200 thousand. values) that, in general, it is not surprising – user-friendly interface, nice appearance and functionality that will suit almost any user’s Android-powered devices.
So, he knows how to copy / move and delete files, extract archives, shows thumbnail images, play music and videos, edit text files, starts the installation apk-files can work with local files and folders, and network – via FTP and Samba. The user can gain remote access to the device from your PC (you need to enable the appropriate mode in the utility on the PC in any FTP-client, enter the proposed address).
In addition, ES File Explorer can work with cloud services – supports Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, GDrive, SugarSync, Yandex, etc. Of additional utilities are available download manager, task manager, and optional “accelerator phone” (you need doustanovit separately), content analyzer internal memory for devices with root-access module has a Root Explorer with access to any and all files and folders.
Maintain a system of interchangeable skins (also loaded separately), various types of content presentation folders (large / small icons, list, etc.). The app is completely free and does not show ads.
By default, FX File Explorer – One Pane file manager, but the second panel creates a simple swipe “cap” the application down. By the way, the user can open any number of windows and switch between them using the menu invoked swipe from the left edge of the screen. There are different ways of representing files – icons, a list, a table, etc. For images and video displays thumbnails preview image opens in its own viewer, video – the video player in the system. FX File Explorer can work with archives (Zip, Tar, 7Zip), offers a great selection of multiple files with a swipe and, of course, all the usual operations with them.
To change the appearance of access to a portfolio of different topics, made in different styles – there is, and Material Design, and Holo, in different colors.
In addition to FX File Explorer are two addon – FX Plus, which adds support for network connections, management of media content and support cloud services (addon charge, 7-day trial period, the full version costs about 30 USD.), and FX Root, designed for devices with root-access and gives the opportunity to work with system files. In general, the application makes a good impression, but the lack of support network in the free version frankly depressing.
Another very popular file manager, the main competitor «ES File Explorer” – comparable to the number of downloads, half assessments.
In addition to local folders, support network, as well as online services – Box, Google Drive, Dropbox, Facebook and OneDrive. ASTRO File Manager can filter files by type – music, photos, videos, documents, user files. Images are opened in the built-in viewer, music and video – in installed on your system by default; own players for this type of content it has no file manager. ASTRO can open files, copy and delete files, run the installation apk. It is worth noting that followed the recent “redesign” single side panel with all the features to make the interface of the program is less convenient to complain that many users.
Complete with ASTRO File Manager is a few extra utilities – Manager installed applications, task manager and an information utility, displaying the use of built-in memory, sorting folders by size or number of files in them.
The app is free, shows a banner ad – it can be removed by purchasing key Pro-version costing ~ 40 USD. (No additional functionality, but turn off advertising, it will not give).
Android-version of one of the most well-known file manager for your PC. Appearance may initially puzzled users accustomed to simple and concise interface of an application for Android – at least hints, non-intuitive buttons and two-pane mode is implicit in the smartphone version – but once mastered it turns out that in terms of features to compete with Total Commander can be a few (which is not surprising, given his “genealogy»).
So, Total Commander can copy and move not only individual files and entire directories, is able to unpack Zip and RAR (and packaged in Zip), supports batch job files, can work not only with the files on the device itself, but also with shared folders on the local network, the device with root-access can write to system folders. In addition, Total Commander runs in two pane view – “virtual” in the case of the portrait orientation of the device (when one panel is open to full screen and switch between them executed swipe left or right) or the full – in landscape mode.
As with the PC version for Android-version of Total Commander plug-ins are available – though their number is much smaller on the official website, you can find dozens of official and third-party plug-ins (add the ability to work via FTP, Google Drive and connect OneDrive and so. d.). The program is completely free and contains no advertising.
Another two-pane file manager, sometimes very similar to Total Commander. So, X-plore File Manager «virtual two-pane” in portrait mode (switching between panels using swipe) and full – in landscape, with partial overlapping of the background. As with TC, where the user also sees an abundance of buttons, but thanks to their destination signatures understand much faster. Another difference from Total Commander – in X-plore folders and files are in a directory tree style a la Explorer.
In addition to folders on the device, X-plore File Manager allows you to open shared folders on the local network (protocol SMB), supports connection via FTP, can open files in formats Zip, RAR and 7zip. Also, there is support for cloud services (about a dozen), and built-in viewer media files (photos, audio, video), access to the files Android-based device with a PC or other mobile devices via Wi-Fi.
The app is free and does not show ads – only in the upper panel there is an inconspicuous icon with a glass of beer, which is hidden under the developer the opportunity to donate a small sum of money “beer” (after which the button disappears).
File manager with a nice interface. In portrait mode, the screen displays only one panel (switch between panels is carried swipe from left to right) in the landscape – both are present. The application supports drag-n-drop, the quick file selection pop-up menu with the most popular actions (the user can add their own items in it). Furthermore, Solid Explorer support indexed search which executes much faster than normal (according to the developer – less than a second), and can be added to a search engine Google Search. The file manager can work with archives – fully supported formats Zip and TAR, plus unpacking RAR.
To work with network resources Solid Explorer supports the FTP, SFTP and SMB, and can also refer to the cloud storage Dropbox and Box .
The developer does not stop there – so in the near future promises a new version of Solid Explorer, which will use the Material Design and can boast support for a plugin. Unfortunately, Solid Explorer – shareware application, and after 14 days of trial period, it will have to either remove or purchase (license costs ~ $ 2).
The findings will be quite expected – first of all we would recommend try honored leaders in this category software, ES File Explorer and ASTRO File Manager, which very likely will be able to satisfy all requests regular user. First of all, interesting, of course, ES File Explorer – it is completely free and does not show ads, unlike the ASTRO File Manager. As a viable alternative can be called Total Commander, which also offers excellent functionality.
