Have you used an Android file manager?

There are so many to choose from. So many features that are totally useless. What if you had one that was easy to use, had the features you need, and did more for a small fee. Keep reading to find one of the best file managers ever made, even the free version.

We even use it on our PC’s and Mac’s

By installing a little app called blue stacks or YouWave. Check out our articles on them by clicking the there name or check our comparison of all three here!

Hands down best file explorer

Where are the pros? I have tried hundreds of file explorers over the years. Almost all of them did not give the flexibility I was looking for. The only saving grace they have had on desktop and laptop has been the appearance of tabs. Unfortunately, the same thing has been tried on smartphones and, in my opinion, hopelessly failed.

Where most file explorer for the smartphone has failed, another has succeeded. X-plore is a file explorer that uses a unique view so that file management is fast and easy. The UI is customizable in many ways as well as a file-sharing ability and access to FTP sites.

Easy, smooth, and free!

What makes X-plore android file managers unique is the way that you view your files. It has a two-panel of viewing area that is accessible with a swipe or a button that is on the screen. In the top right corner, or left (depending on which tab you are on), you will notice a blue arrow. This is where you can switch between the different windows. The two panels are identical so in essence, you always have two tabs open.

Under the panel switch button (under the 3 dot menu on the left panel and under the arrow on the right panel) you will see many icons. Icons like a new folder, delete, copy, and many more. You can turn many choices on or off as well as move them up or down on the list. This can be seen in the videos on this page. With features like Wi-Fi file sharing, full customization, and rock-bottom price how could you possibly not give this a try? All that and just how and where you want it. It’s free and has everything you need. The paid version has a few key features that make it a security app for us as well.

Simple to use

Android File management is where this two-panel view comes in handy. Source file on one panel and destination source on the second panel. The UI uses a checkbox style to perform functions from one panel to the other. So you can check for many files that need to move. Make sure the second panel is the destination. On the source panel, click copy (or desired function) and a dialog box will display when choosing copy. It will verify the destination source and give you the option to check a moving box. Click ok and the files are in process. Simple, clean, and straightforward.

You must try this app.

These are just a few of the many features available within the software. If you are interested in more info or assistance please reach out and ask us. We have a FB group, free 1-hr consultation (in-person or screen to screen), text us, or go old school and call us!
