Smile Best File Manager

Hi;

Im looking for recommendations for a good file manager for my HTC Desire HD, I mainly use a mac as my primary PC but also use Win XP and 7.

I'm looking for something that can access files on my SD card on my phone.

+1 for both Astro and Root Explorer

For the love of Haruhi, don't PM me with questions. There are Q&A forums for that.

I use astro and root explorer together.

I love the user friendly interface of astro and its amazing app manager.
The only thing that makes me use root explorer is.. well the root aspect astro can't explore the phone's root.

I use FileGo

It's not a popular one,..due to people not understanding how it work I think (many comments say it doesnt have copy/paste),..but I like it more then Astro (which I used till it went pro).

FileGo has 2 explorer windows you can swipe between and drag/drop files for easy copy/paste.

Another nice feature is Catalog button on the bottom which gives you quick access to: SD Card, Processes, Apps, APKs, Music, Pictures.



I'll have to give root explorer a go though, only rooted recently.

DONATE TO ME
I'm a file manager fanatic.

Astro-used this until it went pro

Linda manager- nice explorer

Es explorer - so far my fav

Super manager - decent, its free and allows you to explore root ... its also a task manager... its GUI is a bit unsavory and its a memory hog (28mb RAM)

Ghost commander - similar to total commander on the PC. Allows 2 pane exploring and with its update added experimental root browsing feature.

OI manager - very simple browser

ES File Explorer ~ and simply because it allows me to share files with my PC.
Absolutely brilliant....
Since using ESFE I have stopped using USB to connect to my PC for sharing files.
.........I don't always get your questions right.... but you'll certainly know I've tried.

P.S. Many thanks for the Thanks votes. Thanks received are converted into a charitable donation.
