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."

Overall a great experience. The only improvements are: 1) Multi select files in a folder. If there's 20 files and i need to select from 5th to 14th be nice if there was a way to select easier instead of clicking each one individually. 2) I'd like the option of a compact view of the folders/files. For me the gap between each one is too much and i can't find an option to change. Introducing for me would make it 5 stars
