ES File Explorer (AKA: ES File Manager, full name: ES File Explorer File Manager) is a very powerful universal file/app explorer & manager for Android OS. It was developed by ES Global (AKA: ES APP Group) from China. It enables your Android devices to implement multiple approaches (via local storage, LAN, remote FTP) and multiple functions of file managing methods.
ES File Explorer's richness on functions is beyond most users' needs and imagination (a lot of features are indifferent for common Android phone users, but essential for some advanced users). For example, ES File Explorer supports all kinds of managing operations of files or apps (including browse, move, copy, cut, delete, rename files/folders, backup the installed applications, etc.) in local storage or shared via LAN/FTP/Bluetooth on Android at the same time; play all kinds of multimedia files with one-click; open/view all sorts of office documents with one-key; install apps with one-click; open or decompress the archived file packages with one-key....
