1. Some phones, tablets and other devices don't have a file manager installed by default.
2. There's usually a file manager available though: hidden away in the settings app.
3. This shortcut app allows you to open that file manager with just one click from your app list.
1. So to repeat, this is just a shortcut, to help you find the last file manager you'll ever need, and the one that actually came stock with Android.I've been looking for standalone access to this app for quite some time- this app is so much more useful than the standard "MyFiles" app (Samsung's stock file manager) in terms of functionality, especially if you need to access diverse cloud storage services all in one place; every account is ALREADY BUILT IN! It's extremely difficult to find a third-party cloud manger that supports various cloud accounts as they are usually very limiting in terms of supported platforms.
2. Based on reading other comments, apparently this app gives you access to the default File Manager on your phone, which for some reason doesn't have a shortcut available on newer versions of Android.
3. On several Samsung tablets, you can't even get access to the "hidden system file app" via the Settings app, even though it's still buried in the OS through this shortcut.Excellent idea, who could have thought a shortcut to the Android's hidden file manager could be so good.
4. Files by Google (Google's own file manager) does not allow you to access files within Root\Android\data, but this app is just a shortcut that allows you to run your phone's native file manager.
5. Google decided 2 years ago to change how folder structure is handled in Android, so you can't easily access your saved songs in the Android/data folder where their saved by default and is the save location for hundreds of apps, making them near impossible to access without rooting or using a PC.
6. Thank you to the developer of this app.Thank you for a quick solution to the Android 11 craziness of removing access to hidden Android/data folder, even when "show hidden files" is checked.
7. For people experiencing crashes, it's just a shortcut to the default file manager of your Android device, it's not a separate app.
8. Thank you for making this app (shortcut); I can now use my phone the way I want to.Works perfectly! This is perfect for anyone who does not like Google's Files Application.
9. This is the shortcut to the default Android" Files" app you never knew you needed.
10. It's the smoothest and most stable file manager for Android.
11. I use it on my Essential Phone with absolutely zero issues.Works great 90% of the time, although at times it will still show a file that's already been deleted.
