Does not save or recognize file has to get a app. For if I scan device w/anti virus everything I downloaded gets wiped out. I have to go &download again. Never had issue on old device this same manufacturer just a newer model on my old phone file viewer worked fairly well but not on the phone doesn't seem to recognize downloads to save or open them this is as clear as I can make it. I have files that it either won't recognize or delete then i have to repeat the process.

I love this app. Simple, clean, easy to use. For seniors like myself, I pay for no ads, and hopefully this app stays around for a very long time. Only issue I have is sometimes this app states can't open file because it does not recognize the file type. Then I'm on a wild goose chase and just end up quitting the search. As a whole it's very easy to use. Nothing much has changed except for help. It has improved a ton and would like to shout "a nice job to the developers for responding" always.

To open a file without trusting this app, use Google file manager to select the file, then use Open With and pick File Viewer. Google copies the file to File Viewer's private cache where File Viewer can open it without global file access permission. File Viewer doesn't provide the hexdump style view of .bin files I hoped to find. It does show the first hundred bytes or so. That was enough to convince me I wouldn't be able to see any text in my wifi router settings backup file.
