File Manager +: Touch-Friendly File Access on Android That Just Works
On Android devices, file management has always been a bit of an afterthought — especially in corporate or technical contexts. File Manager + addresses that gap with a clean, functional interface that covers the basics and skips the fluff.
It’s not built for deep automation or remote sync magic. Instead, it handles local storage, external SD cards, USB-OTG, LAN shares, and basic cloud access — with minimal configuration and decent reliability. For admins managing mobile fleets, or for users who simply need to move, rename, or inspect files without getting lost in a maze of folders, File Manager + gets the job done.
It’s touch-oriented, yes — but it respects traditional file manager principles more than most Android apps.
