Top 5 file management apps on Android


Explore your file system and manage all the multimedia files and documents on your Android smartphones with one of these powerful apps.

Smartphones with larger on-board and expansion storage certainly enable you to store loads of files on your device. At times, though, it becomes difficult to manage the files and locate the one you are looking for. Not many Android devices come with a great file explorer and management application by default, but thanks to independent developers we now have ample options of the best file explorer and management apps for Android devices.
Check out our list of five such great applications.
Astro File Explorer
The Astro File Explorer is one free program that offers almost all the functions of a desktop file explorer and more. With a built-in image viewer, the user can open images, PDFs and even text files. File management is pretty simple and easy. This app lets you move several files at the same time and even delete them. You can also take backups of apps or app data. The best part is that Astro can take out data from zipped files and can also create an archive for them.

ES File Explorer lets users access the phone from the desktop and extends support for cloud storage services - Google Drive, Dropbox, Skydrive, Box.net, Sugarsync, Ubuntu One, Amazon S3 and Yandex.

Solid Explorer Beta
Amongst the established file managers, Solid Explorer is trying to bring something new to the scene with a dual-panel interface. Several users adore its intuitive interface. This app also offers drag and drop of files between individual panes. The only limitation we can state is that this app is still under development and is still experimental, so use it with caution. Solid Explorer can act as your FTP, SFTP and SMB client to share files. It supports more archive file formats than the usual .zip and .rar files. Like other file explorers, this one too supports cloud services such as Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive and Google Drive. Most important is the indexed search, which lets you search even from the Google Search app or widget.
