X-plore allows you to see inside of your Android phone or tablet.
This is a dual-pane explorer, which means that there're two folders shown at same time, and common operation such as copying files are done from one pane to another.
And X-plore shows folder hierarchy in a tree view. This offers clear orientation on where in file system you currently are, and fast switching to other location.
Currently selected folder and files are highlighted, while other folders/files have slightly darker background.
You may explore internals of the device, and if you're power user and have your device rooted, you can make changes to system data - backup files, remove unwanted applications, etc.
If you're standard user, you may choose to hide internal memory from view and be sure not to mess with system.
You can comfortably see contents of your external memories, either be it built-in high capacity memory, external memory card, or possibly USB memory stick attached to your tablet. All these memory types are listed in main level, you don't need to search for their folders on the device.
Access to FTP and FTPS (secure FTP) servers is supported.
Multiple servers may be configured. All standard file operations can be done on FTP server.
X-plore can display shared folders on other computers in LAN (local area network).
The system allows access to shared folders on computers connected to LAN, or even remote server if it supports SMB protocol.
X-plore can access various web storage "Cloud" servers, and access their files.
You need to have account in supported web service, then you can access your files stored online through X-plore.
Main operations are related to managing files and folders - viewing, copying, moving, deleting, compressing to Zip, extracting, renaming, sharing, and more.
Picasa albums
X-plore can list images in Picasa albums, download them, create albums, upload and delete photos, edit captions.
SQLite database viewer
X-plore can show SQLite database files (those with .db extension) as expandable list of tables, each table containing list of rows and columns with database entries.
Main interaction is done by touch screen, clicking on folders or files to open files, or long-click to open context menu which contains options which can be done on particular clicked item, or multiple selected items.
Multi-selection allows to do operation on more files at once. Files can be selected by clicking check box. It is also possible to select all files in a folder, or clear selection, by clicking parent folder's check box.
Opening file may mean to use one of built-in viewer for most popular file types: images, audio, video and text.
Or you may configure X-plore to use system application for opening files, in which case system-predefined application that can open particular file is launched.
Archives (currently supported are Zip and Rar) are displayed as other folders. You may open them, see contents, and do standard operations that you'd do on files - rename, delete, copy from/to, etc.
Additional interaction is possible by button bar, which is between two panes, and is fully configurable. You may put buttons of your desired operations here, and change ordering.

The ONLY File Manager 2 Read My Routers USB Drive! Nov 5, 2012
I've tried several high end file managers and this is the ONLY one that is capable of seeing, reading, and writing to a USB drive attached to my router and network! None of the others file managers (ES File Explorer Manager; Dual File Manager XT; File Explorer (FX Plus paid version); etc, could access this drive. For that alone I gave it 5 STARS! Plus, all in all, it's pretty good, too, in it's other functions. However, it does lag now and then, but especially when going from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa. This is one I will keep and hope that no future updates break this ability to read that network-based USB drive.

MUST HAVE APP! Oct 20, 2012
UPDATE: Auto scrolling really helps me, I always use one folder for alot of file, I'm going to buy this even this isn't free. // Much better than other paid apps in the market. I have been using LGC X-plore for my Nokia and now for all my android devices!

Great! Oct 20, 2012
Used the app on my N5800, was not aware it was available for Android. The android version rocks too, better than the other file managers available in the market. Can be improved a lot better. Lags sometimes.

Great Nov 27, 2012
Best parts are double screen, easy transferring, and wireless transferring. Better than all of the other file managers I've had especially because no ads. Only thing is I can't read, write to, or even see my USB attached to my Nexus. Please put that in the next update, that would make it the best file managing app

Had an access problem w/ the extsdcard but last update fixed that. Does more than Antek Explorer but AE allows quicker jumping from device to device. RE has the edge here right now because you can navigate to more places & do more with the files when you get to them.

I cannot say enough about es file explorer it is simple fantastic. The one improvement would be a detailed file listing like in windows. For those that are saying it doesn't read an OTG drive that is because the OTG drive function is broken in the from itself. My OTG drive can only be accessed after rooting the device and looking in /mnt directory in the root directory. I'm not sure that this can pick anything other than /mnt/sdcard as that is all the os exposes.
