So the way I see it, there a a few things to think about when selecting a file manager.
- features (multi select is a must, edit, copy, delete go without saying)
- footprint (there is no reason a file manager should take up your entire phone)
- bloat (for me a file manager should be just that a file manager.... not a swiss army knife... goes back to me footprint comment.
So currently I'm running Open Manager its nice... its got a small footprint and some decent features... it doesn't have the greatest GUI, but it works.
I've played with many others.
app | pro | con |
EStrongs File Explorer | feature full | large footprint, bit bloated with features not needed in a file manager |
Linda File Manager | feature full and relatively small | funky name and funky GUI |
AndroZip File Manager | feature full and relatively small | initially designed as a Zip app, but does the trick as a file manager. |
ASTRO File Manager | feature full and one of the first out on the market | grown very bulky over time |
OI File Manager | very small. can be integrated with other apps, great developers | very few features |
most likely eventually I'll end up back using either AndroZip or Linda. Both seem to be my fall backs when I really need a file manager. So what I'm really curious about is which do you like. have you tried others? please share!
