| 2024-05-31 |  | | i like this app because i have very large GIF files and they crash the default files app because it attempts to pre-load everything. this app only shows thumbnails for animations, so it doesn't crash. unlike more complicated files apps out there, this app also lets you use your own preferred apps for opening files instead of being a viewer and a file manager, except for video. i don't like the touch controls on this app's video viewer, very easy to turn on volume by accident |
| 2024-02-22 |  | | Very disappointing. The recent update made it bad. I used to be able to sort out files much more conveniently, such as by size, and it loads faster when deep cleaning. Now, I have to wait for it to count totally and cannot sort anymore videos. It is put in random order and does not have any sort menu. Please, stop updating things if it will result in lesser usability. |
| 2024-02-09 |  | | Love the interface but won't let me delete my files. I keep getting "cannot delete". Very frustrating. While I'm writing this review the processing icon is spinning, what's up with that? Then when I went to a folder it said "just a minute". It should be instantaneous with no lag time. I even checked app permissions and found nothing preventing deleting files or access limitations. This could be a great manager for visual people who want simplicity & efficiency. Needs work.😉 |
| 2023-10-22 |  | | Happy to do successful transfer of data from internal drive to micro sd external drive. It does its job well versus my past experiences with others file managers: My DCIM were corrupted when I transferred it from my cell phones' internal drives to Micro-SD external drives Using Others File Managers---Well, charge to bad learning experiences. Keep it up the good job. What are other products you have or you could recommend for Senior Citizens. Highly Recommended this product, so far. |
| 2023-10-04 |  | | This app works great. Does Very intuitive file manager aneverything a file explorer should which was a feature my phone was strangely lacking from the start. Has a dark mode, nice looking interface, and the ads can be clicked off without having to sit through them like other apps. That brings up my only complaint. With how nice this app has been and how much I love it, I wasn't about to find any purchase option to get rid of the ads. Something that, for a very select few apps, I'm willing to do. |
| 2023-10-01 |  | | Very intuitive file manager and it allows me access to the emulated portion of the file system, which is not normally accessible via a standard file manager like Google file manager. It also categorizes as images, docs, videos, etcetera. This access is very intuitive and you will get it the first time you're in the program so kudos to the designers. They made this interface very easy! |
| 2023-08-23 |  | | I really like this file explorer and especially its theme. I wish Xiaomi would fix the move/copy files where it unnecessarily brings you back to the beginning of the directory just to determine where to copy/move the file when it could just be done without that. It becomes annoying when I have to go back again from the beginning of the directory to the folder I want to copy/move the file(s) to when it's right next to it in the same directory. It also needs a trash feature for deleted files. |
| 2022-04-20 |  | | Was a great file manager, but now it won't stay open for longer than 15-30 seconds. Constantly crashes on Android 12. Also run it on a tablet running Android 9 & another phone running Android 11, neither have the crashes. Fix it! Update: Uninstalling since it still constantly crashes. There are better file managers on the Play store. |
| 2022-02-23 |  | | Absolute mess. It is filled with bugs especially with the file selection, it won't even let me choose what FOLDER to use and instead bugs itself out by making me choose what FILE to use, which is obviously not how it should work. I want to pick a folder to use for my documents but I seriously can't get to because of this app, and this being a system app to my phone doesn't help at all. This is very frustrating and I'm really questioning about your phones' quality. |
| 2021-12-26 |  | | Dear xiaomi developers, i hope you hear my feedback. As a professional ui/ux designer, I've been a big fan of this file manger. It is awesome. But there is one simple but important feature you need to add to this app. when you browse in a folder, If there are multiple photos, when you open one of them, you can't simply swipe left or right to see other photos inside that folder. You have go close the photo, then open another photo, this is such an important yet simple feature. Pkease add it |
