The best file manager on android after ES File Explorer turned to the dark side (Cheetah Mobile).
Drag and drop files over FTP, SMB, Cloud services (dropbox etc), batch rename, read archives, make you a sandwich, basically everything you want to do with files on your android device.
This is an in-app purchase - install the free app then unlock the premium for 75p.

Obscure? I use otg and you have to pay extra for that. I use cloud storage and mega you have to pay again for that. I use my nas lan devices at home/work and you have to pay more for that. Just seems alot of features that you get free on most other app you keep having to pay for. But yes if you use a limited number of features it might be ok but for me it's not worth it. Haven't voted either way.

The free ES File explorer isn't bad at all it does what you need it to do; its got a pretty high user review count of 2,555,283, or that users voted it 4.5 out of 5 and around 100,000,000 - 500,000,000 people have installed it.
I don't think they bloated ES to encourage people to buy the pro version. I used the FREE version forever and was so happy with it that I wanted to support the developer and pay the full price for the PRO version.

Using it good couple of years now. Worth almost any money, not mentioning 75p. Bargain.

just reading this about es explorer. apparently it bloated it's free version in a way to make the pro version more appealing. I dont know the ins and outs it's just what I quickly read online.

Does the 75p include being able to download the extra premium(fee based) plugins also?
eg Mega plugin etc

Do people still use Root Explorer (Free/Pro)
I'm with Root Explorer to start with and never looked around.

I use Root Explorer (Pro).
I bought ES File Explorer for 10p, but don't use it.
Reports say that ES contains/contained spyware. I block most of my apps from the internet anyway.

Would use this but noticed you have to keep paying for extra features.

Which features? To me it seems you only pay more for quite obscure add-ons that very few people would need
