Nice app. Very clean and fairly intuitive. The only feature missing: I would love the ability to program gestures to perform actions (like ES does with the little bubble.) Adding that would be amazing, because one thing this app suffers from is navigation. Another problem - I followed the link in the description to download the 2.0 version, but cannot do so, instead of the download button I have the message saying "this version not compatible with your device"...my device is a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (updated 100%, not rooted.) This is the first and only time I've seen that message on the Play Store, after years of downloading hundreds of apps.

This file manager should be rated higher than other respective apps. If you put a little time to get familiar with this app, you will see that you can do more things than a simple copy paste! Power users will love this app.

I love this classic version more than the "modern" version. But the only thing that is not working on my Samsung (Marshmallow) is "Cut" file or folder..

I can't view my files on SD card. Error says 'java.io.IOException: Access Denied'.

Please can we have an update so that Nougat is supported on Galaxy S7. This is my favourite file Explorer and I really miss be able to use it.

Used to be my most favorite file explorer on my Android phones, until I switched to the new one: Solid Explorer. Has more features than I would ever expect from a file explorer on a phone to have and reminds me the days of Windows Mobile Pocket PCs.
