File managers for Android have improved considerably over time.
You don’t essentially want to put in choices like ES File Supervisor, Strong Explorer, and others.
However, even in case you do โ and you don’t just like the default file supervisor (or refuse to make use of Google’s Information app), there may be at all times the open-source means as a substitute of utilizing the proprietary ones I simply talked about ๐
There are a few choices, however I like Fossify File Supervisor that lets you simply entry/handle information in your smartphone.

Fossify File Supervisor is a fork of the initially fashionable Easy File Supervisor.
The fork (together with different forks of Easy Cellular Software apps) was made by one of many authentic contributors after they have been acquired by an organization identified for including ad-wall to the apps they personal.

It options the Materials You design UI, making it good to take a look at. Along with the file administration, you can too discover not too long ago accessed information in a separate menu, and get the small print of your storage as proven within the screenshot above.
Regardless of its title, you may’t discover it as “Fossify File Supervisor”. The app is listed as “File Supervisor”. Perhaps that shall be altering sooner or later updates? I’m not so positive… ๐คทโโ๏ธ
