Absolutely brilliant application! Far better than all the other file managers put together. This allows me to connect to my server, my Raspberry Pi’s and my local files with ease, even setting up bookmarks to file locations, etc. Really highly recommended.

I’ve been happily using the free version for years, and finally decided to chip in the well-deserved $ to support. Love how this upgrade is easy (add-on key only) – no “back-up, install new, restore, uninstall old” process needed.

TERRIBLE. 2.5 years ago this was excellent. Now no drives appear. We all know the Google Banks answer “contact developer” I have but get crickets.. 1 star is t too many. App usex to list all external drives which I formatted exFAT via pass-through powered simple usbc hub, or thunderbolt 4 (usb4) element and plugable […]

Instantly wanted to purchase but waited to test more. Be sure to try the trial. This developer makes some great apps. Always room for improvement but it’s definitely on par with the best. I’m coming from ES Pro, so I’m missing some of my old features, but this brings things to the table I didn’t […]

I started using FX File Explorer Plus in 2013. It was my go-to for years. They made some changes I didn’t like so I abandoned it for a long time. I recently tried it again after the one I’d been using showed high levels of suspicious activity on my firewall. Wow, I love FX all […]

I paid for a license of an app I appreciated for years, but then when trying to take that license to my other 2 devices it tried to force me to pay for it yet again. All 3 use the same account, I should have simple access to it from all devices on that account. […]

All the plus extras are working great for me except for FX Connect. Doesn’t work at all even if “Disconnect from Wi-Fi Access Point” is enabled. I don’t really like X-plore but WiFi file sharing does actually work pretty well and is the only thing I use it for. Would easily rate 5 stars if […]

My only request is to add line numbers to the text editor app (if they haven’t already, since I’m using an older version), like how the text viewer has them. I’ve been using this app for a while now and figured it was time to upgrade to the paid version. Even though I’ll never need […]

Any chance of adding a Storage Access Framework/Documents Provider support for network saving/loading from 3rd party apps? that would be a killer pro feature. I’d gladly pay $5+ for such a feature, on top of what I’ve already paid. Ability to load/save directly to Dropbox, onedrive, webdav etc directly from my text/photo editor would be […]

I use it all the time, I never have issued and it does exactly everything I need it to and should do with root and system as root’d device. I’m very glad I bought the license years ago, it’s my go to everything for file and root system work plus unpacks installed apps so I […]

The file manager is exceptional, but the text editor sucks due to jerky scrolling. And the search function doesn’t go back to the results when hitting back after selecting one, so you have to perform the search over and over in order to check each result. Update: Down to 2 stars due to new, unexplained […]

The app looks great – at least with the FX Faenza add-on theme – and the Web Access feature is superb. But it is annoying that it has a number of niggling faults and it appears they’re never going to be fixed, so I am only giving it 3 stars. It won’t open azw3 files […]

I love the app, enough that I even paid for it! Only feature I would ask to be added would be to use biometrics to unlock the keyring, instead of always having to enter the password.

This is a better file explorer than the stock android one imo. I use it to browse my Android device folders as well as my NAS. The only feature it lacks is rotation lock for videos. Add this and it is the perfect file explorer.

Abandoned? Google Drive integration stopped working over a year ago, I emailed dev with no reply. Droobox integration stopped working months ago, emailed dev with no reply. It’s a shame, because FX is still by far my favorite explorer interface. I would love to see it updated. Old review for reference: FX is by far […]

This is the best file exploring app I’ve ever used. I would ask for one future feature update: it would be great to be able to do a bulk photo upload to Google Photos. I use my phone for work, from time to time, and I don’t want Google Photos to upload everything. So I […]

After having tried multiple file explorers, I finally settled for this one. It’s intuitive to use, has multiple features like accessing a Windows network (which I needed), accessing cloud storage like Google Drive (which can be used to show you the number of files and space used by a folder, something that Google’s own Drive […]

I’ve been using this for a long time, and have generally liked it a lot. However, recently I tried using the FX Connect feature, and it would not work correctly, although it worked in the past. I sent a support email, with no answer after a week or so, so I resent the same email, […]

I’ve been meaning to rate/write this app for a long time, (4 or 5) years or more now. it’s been a great app since I started using it and has only gotten better over time. Before FX I used ES and it was good, then it started getting “bloated” and way too many ads. I […]

Unable to transfer to external network storage. Support is basically non-existent –so you’re on your own! Samsung Galaxy Note 8 & 9. I took my time writing to ask if there was a way to circumvent this problem and I never heard back from them… Probably never will. I can do this with all other […]
