Does it show/allow root files to be modified?

No.
Also, on my Droid X, stock/rooted, I get a FC after I click the programs tab.

Sorry for FC. 3-4 users reported the same issue. But we cannot duplicate this issue on our test phone. Maybe it depends on your software configuration?
Could you please send me logcat?
Thanks very much!

Starting here some bug feedback
Or well at first: File Expert is just Great!
In the newest update were progressbars for copy and more, they are not working.
I see the bar but its the whole time full as if the copy is already done.
Hope for new updates

I found this in one of the 'best new apps' websites. I am loving it. The network features really grab me. I can easily - EASILY - log on to our company network and browse files from anonymous or login-required sources. And it links trivially to my home network, allowing me to push/pull from any public drive on any of the computers at home.
I also really like the look and feel. It is my preferred file explorer of choice.
Thanks for a great product.

Great File Manager...keep up the good work.

It is really good. Only if it could gain root acces... it could be an excelent replacement for Root Explorer.

Just discovered it today, great work

Had high hopes for this app... FTP worked for me but HTTP didn't, was disappointed no root access or facility to mount etc... uninstalled... will be keeping an eye on it though
Would be great if you put sshd in there too....

it looks better than ES and astro but nothing is like ROOT EXPLORER! its so fast, small, usefull and handy. plus, it can access all the system file and folders so easily and quickly without any problem. i'd recommend root explorer for all...
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App

Great app, successfully replaced Root Explorer for me. If only you can add an option to rearrange the toolbar icons, would be great.

I have remote smb folder containing about 700 images and it seems impossible to view last modifyed images first. Image viewer sorts images regardless of files sort order.

Very nice work!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Very good app! Uninstalled ES File Explorer. Keep up the good work.

I think this is not a best file manager for Android. Even not from top 100.

Does this program work if run from an SD version of Android?

ROOT EXPLORER is the best of all

[APP]SD File manager/Explorer

Hi All,
This is my first application in Android, SD File manager/Explorer. This helps you organize all the Files/Folders in your SDCard. Unlike other file managers in the market it is extremely light weight(just 170 KB) and very simple to use.
For the first release(has all the basic functionality like Copy, delete,rename, favorites list, rename etc..), I wanted to get feedback about the UI and performance and make it a lot better in the next releases. In the next update I'm going to bring advanced features like Google drive, dropbox integration, search, network access etc..
Please use it let me know any bugs and help me make it better. Also any features/Suggestions are extremely welcome.
Download the apk in the attachment or download it from play store
PS: This is my first applications and took at most care to make sure that it is bug free, but there are still any please spare it .
Thanks and regards,
Murali

This is pretty cool if you want to do quick actions like copy/paste. Definately faster than cm file manager too. I would like to suggest you look at a rather nice feature on SolidExplorer, you have 2 active panes and can copy from one to the other, just makes file management a breeze

thanks for reply

Hi Cornelha,
Thanks for using it. I will definitely look into those apps and try to bring those features in later updates

best file manager of ever

[Free][App][2.3+] UNCOPT Holo File Browser w/ su, dual views

UNCOPT File Browser is the nicest and most innovative Holo styled file browser for Android with root capabilities.
It provides all the features needed to browse and organize your pictures, files, documents and videos. It gives you access to the internal storage, sd card, external usb storage devices, internal filesystem and more (with plugins) .
Unlike other available file browsers on the market, UNCOPT File Browser also offers unique features:
Resizable split view: a simple swipe will split the screen in two and give the user two independent browsable panels that can be resized at will. File managing becomes even easier and more efficient.
Efficient archive browsing (zip, tar): unlike other apps, the archive content is never extracted in a temporary folder (or even in memory). The specific parts that need to be accessed (to display or send them) are streamed on access.
Nested archives: unlike other apps, nested archive content can be listed and accessed. To the user there is no difference between a folder, an archive and a nested archive in terms of browsing. Archives can be nested in multiple levels.
Keyboard navigation: the keyboard navigation is fully functional.
Simple action bar navigation with interactive path.
Automatic sync with MediaStore (Gallery) and the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) connection.
Complies completely with the Android Holo Style, even on Gingerbread.
On top of that you get all the usual features such as:
Browsing.
Copy/paste using official mechanism for compatibility with other apps.
Sort by file size, file name and modification date.
Create, delete, rename, send, bookmark files and folders.
Search.
Create zip files.
Shows thumbnails for APKs and images in gridview mode.
Multi file selection.
Local Network SMB protocol (windows shares), free plugin required.
Registers as a file picker so that other applications (such as gmail) can access the files too.
UNCOPT File Browser also provides tools for rooted devices:
Browse system files like any other (including system and user apps).
Change file permissions.
Automatically remount read-only filesystems as read-write.
suid/guid/sticky special permissions
Available on Google Play. Search for UNCOPT File Browser.

Lan PlugIn : http://goo.gl/hD30T

Tried it, looks really awesome, but won't test more, as one of the critical features I need (and probably many others) is Cloud support (Dropbox, Gdrive, etc.)
But it really has the best UI I saw in a file manager, very smooth, looks awesome even on my Optimus One's small screen
Edit: Like a post below me, I also hope you keep getting it better, it truly has HUGE potential (holo Solid Explorer)
It is on XDA Portal, so...

looks good,nice work

really an awesome looking app,great features too.
But there are some things i really miss right now or i would like to be changed maybe
-possbility to execute an apk(right now it just opens the content)
-drag and drop for files between the 2 tabs would be awesome
-maybe a possibilty to customize the view,like disable the file size part(because on a phone,even with 4,7" it takes up a lot of screen.
-sometimes it is a bit hard to hit the triangle for the menu of the file to show up
Edit
Just noticed I can hit the whole date/size space to open the file menu, nice
hope this amazing file explorer keeps updating,it really has a huge amount of potential :good:

Bought the full version just to support the developer. Keep it up, i love it!

Looks really good! Keep up the awesome work

Im liking the whole Holo look and how it works to browse files, but I can't install simple apks? It just views it as if it was a zip files. i can easily install apks on other file browsers except this one? Maybe it's just me but thought i'd share the problem im having.

finally found a simple yet powerful root file management app. Would be cool if there is an option to show the folder properties of the folder i.e. the amount of data inside the folder.

Love the App! Got the paid version.
As along with the rest, installing an APK is a mandatory must!
Am sure this will be in an updated version

Amazing File Manager, only issue i saw was unable to play via lan (directly).
Es and other do it perfectly.
Other than that 5 Stars.

Odd, I hate this feature on es, its the first thing I turn off. Many apps dont install with that. Why do you want it at all?
...
The file borwser looks great, thanks. The only thing is the icon, its not great

Looks good so far. But currently not usable for me. Some things are missing, like cloud. And if you press on pictures they don't open, you have to go through the context menu. Thats kinda annoying. And it laggs on Galaxy s3 (CM 10.1) while scrolling. But the idea is good, im looking forward to future versions of it. Thanks.

Ummmmm..... to sideload apks for testing Why "wouldn't" you want that feature?
You'll find there are other places to get apk's other than the Play Store. XDA for example. Other than tossing them in /system/app which is rather counter-productive, the only option is to install via FM.

Will give this ago ! Many thanks.

Thank You!
great browser ... keep up the good work.
feature would haves
1. Cloud integration
2. 7Zip integration

App icons are shown in grid view, but not in list view.
Also, as others have said, installing apks is a must

I think he misunderstood... ES has a feature to install apps without the package installer... it just installs in the background

Thank you all for your feedback.
We're working hard to add all the features you requested.
As for the apks, you can install them by clicking on the thumb (bottom right corner of the row/cell). It will bring up the dropdown menu. Click open and it should do the trick.
A lot of people are complaining about it (not only to install apks but also to open a file), we'll try to make it more obvious.

How to create a shortcut on Android to a Windows folder, not using ESFileExplorer

Hi - it is easy to create a shortcut on my Android 6.0.1 desktop to a Windows 10 folder using ES File Explorer. The trouble is I find ES File Explorer really irritating these days and want to uninstall it. Is there any other way to create a shortcut on the Android desktop? I have tried one or two file managers such as Solid Explorer, File Commander, but can't see a way to do it...

Did you try like that ?

Yes - the problem is getting a shortcut to a folder on my Windows PC via the LAN. I can only see how to do it using ES File Explorer

I can upload the last "decent" and bloat free version of ES if you like. Plus I changed the signature so you won't be prompted to update it in the Playstore

It has waaaaaay to much going on for it now. With the " junk cleaners" and "charge boosters" and all that. As android enthusiasts, we find that insulting. Because we know it doesn't work/makes much of a difference.
ES was based on relevance and simplicity once. Now its just as toxic as an app developed by Cheetah Mobile.

Yeah, I avoid those extra useless features and still use ES without ever encountering them.
All they did was incorporate a couple of the other ES apps into ES File Explorer instead of having them as separate apps, e.g. ES Task Manager and such.
They have quite a way to go before they're as bad as Cheetah Mobile.

Well I try to disable them but they keep popping up all over the place. And the largest font is so small I can't see anything anyway! Using a Xperia Z3C...
Thanks very much for the older version ... the shortcut seems to work.
Strange that no other apps offer a homescreen shortcut to a windows folder since I guess at some point this old ES will cease to work..

Then maybe you can try the version I just uploaded. It has all the useful features minus the bloat.
Maybe they're not really as bad as Cheetah Mobile. But because they were held at a higher standard, they just seem like more of a disappointment.
I don't know what happened, my guess is that they sold the company. It sucks tho.

If it gets to where I'm aggravated by newer versions of ES File Explorer I'll revert to an older version, I'd rather not depend on a version that will at some point no longer work.

How to create a shortcut to a picture in Android 10.3 on One Plus 6

I have a OnePlus6 with Android 10.3 Have taken a picture of scanning card that admits me to gym. Driving me crazy that I can't create a shortcut to the screen so that I can use my cell phone to bring up the picture to have it scanned for gym admission. I have both File Manager and free Es File Explorer. Couldn't figure out how to do this with either app. Hope someone can help here. There probably is very simple way to do this.

I use Material Files file manager. It does have support for shortcuts. You click triple dots next to the file and click create shortcut. I think it is a popular feature, I wouldn't be surprised if built-in file manager could do that.
