It's a file utility that does everything I want a file utility to do. It presents a file tree starting at the root of a drive. There are no screens of classes of data to skip. The graphics are minimalist. It performs operations like copy, move, delete efficiently. It handles local networks just fine. I don't want a file utility to be my buddy. I just want one that works.

This is a refreshingly competent file browser that's easy to use. Setting up my external drives, FTP and LAN all went without a hitch. I especially like the double-paned windows that make file browsing so easy. Having said all that, the app displays in the app drawer as "Files" which is the same name and similar logo to the natively installed file browser on Moto phones. At least the app drawer name should be renamed to "Material Files."

The application is very good! I've been using it for about three months and the only thing I have to say is that I've had several crashes when transferring files via FTP. Often the FTP server / the application itself crashes and I have to enable the server again and try to transfer the file, this is annoying and I don't know what it could be exactly. Thanks for your patience, this application is essential for me, a great file manager.
