Works great! Love the functionality. Only 2 things to comment on: how do you access recently deleted files? I accidentally deleted a really important file and need to get it back but haven't been able to find it on this app or my regular file app. Please help. Second thing: going through files and moving things over takes a long time. Not sure of a quicker way apart from going through each and every file manually to move something over rather than a quick drag and drop.

One of the OGs and best Android File Manager around. Love being able to share, send, or 'Open With..." files to various apps and to G drive. Very light. 4 stars b/c ONE THING that is very frustrating: There's no way to "Limit Search" to a specified folder or group of folders. This is a problem b/c there are folders with thousands of thumbnails and gibberish-named encrypted files. Explorer searches through these folders every time which takes ages! 5 stars when I can omit these folders. Cheers

TABS! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been sideloading the original ES File Explorer for the last decade because it was the only one I found with tabs and bookmarks and themes. I've now been forced to upgrade my phone and couldn't use it anymore. You're an absolute gem - finally, a good file manager with a practical, common sense, efficient layout. Thank you! (Reviewed five minutes after installation and can already see that this is EXACTLY what I want in a file browser & manager!)

could be 5 stars but has a bug. On my ugoos sk1 tv box with android 14 when I open a movie file from my usb drive using Explorer it only runs for several minutes then stops on all players. if i open from any other file manager it plays normally. this wasted a lot of time trouble shooting.
