Top 10 File Managers App for Android


  1. File Expert is a great tool in that it allows you to connect and manage files locally on your sd card or files you might have uploaded to a cloud. This makes File Expert versatile and its easy interface is nice for those on the go but still needing to be in touch with “the cloud”.
  2. X-plore File Manager looks a lot like Windows control panel. There’s no getting around it. It has a very functional split screen that has everything on your Droid on one side and all of your external files on the other. The menu buttons are clearly labeled to help you avoid any confusing and you can even set up their functionality if you are so inclined.
  3. AirDroid uses a WiFi connection to connect to your PC (no wires!). This gets you out of the low-res screen where you can really do some managing. This means you have to ability to use a full sized keyboard and mouse on your screen much like you would with your laptop or PC.
  4. TotalCommander sports the same on phone interface that X-Plore File Manager does but also includes a few more Windows-like options. You  also get a built-in FTP and HTTP file support as well as multiple language and Unicode support. All of the bells and whistles come with this little manager though it is not as ascetically pleasing as some of the other options.
  5. AntTek Explorer claims to be the most intuitive and simple file manager around. They might be right. The multi-panel display can be changed to suit the user. This is a nice boon for middle to high level users who have their “own way” of doing thing.
  6. ES File Explorer is probably one of the most popular file managers of all time for Android. This is a file manager, application manager, task killer, drop box client and FTP client all in one. That’s pretty impressive on the face of things and has ensured ES’s popularity for a while to come yet.
  7. ASTRO File Manager has the same functions you would expect in a file manager but also have a couple of interesting twists as well. With built-in image and text viewers, a task manager, search capabilities and a download manager it is a great alternative for a more hands on user.
  8. Dual File Manager XT is another file manager that uses a two pane system for file swapping, moving and comparing.  Overall, reports on this file manager have been positive and if you don’t mind thumbnails this could be the manager for you.
  9. FileGo is yet another two panel file manager. This one has everything you would hope to find in a file manager but the interface is more elegant than most others on the market. It is easy to use and easy on the eyes, but functionally not much more than the basics here.
  10. File Explorer is our number ten on this list. Sound a little plain compared to its contemporaries? Not really, everything that the others have can be found on this simple interface. Most users love it but it’s not an app for those who can’t live without the glitzy eye candy.
