ES File Explorer Reviews

by XII03GRIZZLY

I just paid for ESFileExplorer lifetime no add a couple weeks ago updated it today now I have to pay again??? U are breaking contract because I already paid for ESFileExplorer for lifetime ad free, how is it that just because u update it I have to pay for lifetime again? That wouldn’t make it lifetime now would it? You can’t sell me the same bike I already bought just because you put a whistle on it.

I’ve used ESFileExplorer for years and have always used it for its computer like browser capabilities like being able to actually download videos and files through the web without a direct transfer like on phone, but now that they have taken that out ESFileExplorer stands useless. I find it to be a mistake so please reverse the changes I want to use ESFileExplorer as much as anyone but now I have no use for it.

In the 4-5 version earlier, ftp worked fine…
Now, I can only see list of root folder (not files inside), after entering a folder an error say “please make sure permission is enabled”.

I tried to double check if the problem is at my end by download another ftp client, it works perfectly fine.

My recommendation for you is to implement different version of ftp and support its credentials in the server url (the same with SMB).

Please make sure the existing features work fine in various scenarios before adding new features in update, otherwise ESFileExplorer become useless itself (e.g. sidebar iPad is useless since ftp is not working).

Great interface, fast, able to move large files around very easy and in the background which is very helpful when you don’t want to sit and watch file transfer bars all day.

Two problems tho... the interface for setting up an smb for an airport time capsule doesn’t seem to match what info you can type in. it has a required space to type in a URL. well, my time capsule doesn’t give me a URL. inputting IP or .local doesn’t work. It’s too much to go into but a different app called REMOTE FILE MANAGER (QuickApps Inc) has a much simpler set up that’s almost automatically configured. It’s just not supported anymore for anything else really.
Second, is an endless loop of a message when trying to connect to GoogleDrive that you need to configure GD to work with ESFileExplorer. No duh... HOW? it never takes you thru the steps of doing that.
If anyone can enlighten me with the knowledge I am lacking, PLEASE DO!

I want to zip and share selected file Currently i must first zip then share zipped file
It would be great if both of these things were done together in one operation

by TDarkskin

Excellent alternative for me to listen to my music offline and browse through my files fast

by EsFileExplorer

ESFileExplorer is useless without downloading ability, it was a great app for downloading and storing files but now it's useless

*another thing that made ESFileExplorer useful was because it works on old phones and I used it for my iPhone 5 and it is very useful but now without downloading ability it's useless and I hope they fix it

*i always hoped that they design the PDF reader of ESFileExplorer just like iPhone iBook app (with search engine and iPhone review downside page)! Thanks

One thing I would do is add run push button excellent app for people who have no patience with ESFileExplorer closing or say it can’t open

by Tubulosa

iPhone don’t have a MP3 player that plays files back to back I downloaded ESFileExplorer and now app my music files plays back to back 🙏🏾 devs

This is one of the best sources for finding files. Navigation is easy and straight forward and renaming and organizing files is blast.

by Maker1895

Works like a champ, even better than the original Apple provided files app

by Buzzzed.lightyear

I haven’t noticed much of a difference when going pro but it’s a easy to use reliable app. (Just wish it had more)

I use it for SMB access.. is pretty good.. it plays videos instantly and does everything else well.. only downside is I can’t edit text files with this.. at least one other app I know can edit text files over SMB..

by Jordan2722

I love the added feature to secure folders and network shares! The only thing missing is the ability to loop a video in the video player. I like the auto play next video option, but please add loop as well. I'm a lifetime member. Great app.

Can’t find my separate folders of the system albums inside ESFileExplorer but was able to select photos in Photos to import to it. The downside is you can only import 9 photos at a time.

Finally decided to give a 5 start after the recent update, especially for the audio UI and functions of fast forward. ESFileExplorer have all the features I need for work, study and entertainment. Five Star!

I started usuing ESFileExplorer because of the browser icon that’s always there when u open a file, but now it’s not there, please put it back

by Lamoboy

1. “Stop after current song” in “Sleep timer” menu doesn’t work.
2. It’s not possible to connect to the SMB ver1 server.
3. It’s not possible to start playing all songs in the current folder and in all of its sub folders.

Didn’t get a reply from developer via email so only 1 star.

by Xxxxxhcfbvx

Could you add the ability to send a file to another app? The video player lags sometimes and I would like to send the file to the VLC app instead.

by KalebKPL

A dev help me out I can’t get that side bar thing with all that extra stuff (IOS IPAD)

by RunitNow

It’s a garbage app, don’t install it.

by Abcdefghijkihatethisapp

by Ytnsnsnc

This stupid app doesn't show me content transferred via shareit.

by Cdjer

It shows the rename option in ESFileExplorer Store but after downloading it wasn’t there.

by ThaaPhoenix

It looked like a great app . Until I imported 6 copied videos to it .But it only imported one. Sorry I need an app that can import multiple copies . Sorry have to delete app. I don’t have time to waste . Thank you good luck . 😍

by CookieM54

It not in-depth like the android version. I’m very sad about this 😭.
I hope they fix it.

by Nilcel Ricksen

It’s crazy because supporting you

by GuyOnTheApp

Yeah ESFileExplorer helped me import texture packs to MCPE so yeah very cool

by Asif_leo_007

Best file explorer experience cause it can access itunes for finding out any song super easy.

by PapercraftMatriarch

Noticed some things that I haven't seen before.

Under System Files, ESFileExplorer is showing me my photo library. I noticed something that I haven't seen another apps do with photos. ESFileExplorer identifies photos by number. When viewing a photo, at the top of the screen ESFileExplorer displays x/y, where x is the current photo's place in the list and y is the total number of photos. The list is in reverse chronological order. This is helpful to me when backing up thousands of photos using a sync/charge cable to a desktop computer.

Thank you to Developer for adding SMB fileshare access alongside Google Drive access!!!

Wishlist To Developer: can you give us the following under System Files?
* a LIST VIEW alternative to just displaying by thumbnail, where the filename column has an adjustable width that allows the user to see full filenames up to 127 characters at least?
* DISPLAY FILENAME of a currently viewed photo? Or display prediction of what the filename would be if the iPhone were to export that photo to a desktop computer via sync/charge cable?
