Paul B. Nurse Hospital & Health Care ### "The Best Android File Explorer" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 23, 2019 ES File Explorer has simplified my life when it comes to managing my files on Android. In fact, it is a must have file explorer for anyone on an android platform. I give it a five star rating on functionality Pros I like the app because: > I can back up my apk files either on phone memory or memory card. > I can open multiple windows and easily swipe from one window to another. > My files can be backed up on sky drive, directly from ES File Explorer. > The app is capable of showing hidden files, which cannot happen with the default File Explorer. > ES can show files that have been recently added into the phone or SD Card, this includes documents, pictures, videos audios etc. Another good thing is that it shows the location of these new files. > It has an inbuilt cleaner to keep the office health. > I also love the hand gesture feature which works as shortcut to my desired files. > Ability to rename multiple files as a batch is another plus to me. Cons However, there are some features which I would have loved ES File Explorer to work on. > When I compress files with a password protection, it comes damaged on windows. I wish this was fixed. > I would wish to have the windows split so I could see the two windows at the same time. > Would be happy to have multiple themes. The current themes are just very few. > There was a time I wanted to extract a zipped file soon after reinstalling ES, just to be asked to download a module to extract the file. I would like the module to be part of the ES File Explorer package to avoid inconveniences in case I have no data. > Graphics/User Interface should also be improved if possible.
