I use "ES File Explorer" (which I dislike since it changed hands and now has very intrusive ads; however, it works).
It used to be good, but I deleted it as "crapware".
Exactly. I had the paid version, and they horked it up badly.
I've now switched to Solid Explorer. Yes I paid him the *two bucks* it costs to shut off advertising. Its way easier to use and understand.
(I had also paid for the ad-free ES File Explorer.).
You guys whining about ads:
Not about ads. I whine about intrusive adds.
would it kill you to open your wallet for Pete sake?
I hesitate about that. It has to be good enough.
It's OT bat well...: problem for me is that payments are only possible using a google payment account, which - for google being a company that does not deserve my trust - makes it impossible for me buying something. If there were other payment possibilities outside of googles total control, I'd have bought several things in the past...
Same issue here. Maybe paying through paypal :-?
intrusive adds: there are apps that display pop-up ads even when the app is closed. This leads to immediate de-installation within a second, not matter how "good" the app is. Using part of the app's screen for non-blinking ads is ok for me.
Indeed. I'm happy to use some tools that pop up adds politely. For instance, rain-alarm: it has a banner at the bottom, and some times warns that an add will pop up in three seconds. I take a polite look at it, then close it. But ES File Explorer puts commercials in the middle of the results from commands, so that one has to notice it is not a result but an add, and be careful not to tap on it. It makes reading the screens difficult. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
