FX File Explorer Customer Insights

1. I wish I could see/change permissions for files within the app, edit files with the binary viewer, or use the built in editor with scripts set as executable, but for most of what you need to do this should be more than enough "out of the box."Used to love this app for cloud storage but after they dropped support(android limitation, but it's been a year now come on devs!) Loved the interface.

2. Other than that, flawless.The networking to a share drive was what I was looking for most in a file manager, and this one was works great, with the best file transfer speed I've found so far.

3. While this IS a helpful feature, it's not quite granular enough (ex: animated gifs get lumped in with static images) and it shouldn't replace file extension sorting.Well done! coming from ES File explorer pro, this is a fantastic replacement.

4. Besides the cosmetic issues, for some reason the latest update also replaced the ability to sort by file extension with the ability to sort by file "type".

5. Now it either opens the builtin viewer / web browser, or prompts me to pick an app each time I open a file.Best Android file manager I've ever used.

6. 5 stars all the way! if you are a former ES file explorer user, I think you will find this a perfect replacement.Best Android file manager I've ever used.

7. The new update broke some functionality: I can now no longer set a default app for several file types, e.g. MX Player to open all video and ReadEra to open all PDFs.

8. I wish I could see/change permissions for files within the app, edit files with the binary viewer, or use the built in editor with scripts set as executable, but for most of what you need to do this should be more than enough "out of the box."Almost perfect.

9. They brought back the internal media players, or at least the ability to choose them, when opening a file.

10. Highly recommend for anyone looking to switch.This is by far the best file manager I've had the pleasure of working with.

11. (Original: It was great but the latest update got rid of internal media players and activated a trial of YouTube Music, without me having to opt-in, even though I've got an app for music.
