Most of the Android smartphones currently available on the market come with a generous in-built memory as well as a with support for SD cards, so the possibility to save all types of content on that smartphones exists and is actually well supported by the hardware in place. The only problem is that the Android operating system doesn’t come with an in-built file manager. That means you will find it pretty hard to organize your files and retrieve fast only the ones that are of interest at a certain time. The good news is that the Android Market tries to compensate by making available quite a few file managers that you can install on your own and start using in order to fully take advantage of the storage capabilities of your smartphone.

Android App File Manager
I must start by mentioning File Expert. This file manager compatible with the Android operating system comes with an exciting interface as well as a few advanced features that you wouldn’t normally expect from such an app. That’s the reason why it’s able to cover all the browsing files needs of even the most demanding customer. You will actually be able to use it not only for browsing and organizing the files locally stored but also the files that you’ve decided to make available by using cloud services like Dropbox and Box.net. Also included is support for FTP servers and features that can help you organize even the apps installed on your smartphone. What I must also mention is that the app is available for free and can be installed on any smartphone that runs on Android 2.0 or later.
If you are interested in more options, you should also check out Root Explorer. This is an app designed for Android geeks who aren’t afraid to root their smartphone and install new custom ROMs every now and then. That’s because once the Android smartphone you own is rooted, this file manager manages to give you access to the deepest corners of the file system, including the data folder. Proof that this Android app does its job admirably is the high number of downloads that comes accompanied by a rating of 4.8. The rating, the popularity and the functionality delivered make this app worth the $3.99 price that it requires. You should also know that you can install it on any rooted Android phone that runs on Android 1.1 or later.

I am also a fan of ES File Explorer because this app has the interface and the features that can make it popular. The time it has been accommodated in the Android Market has led to millions of downloads and a rating of 4. 7. This popularity is understandable because this file manager comes with an exciting feature combination that makes it capable of being a file manager, a Dropbox client, an application manager, a FTP client and a task killer in the same time. The other good news is that you will be able to use this Android file manager for free even if your smartphone is stuck with Android 1.5
Dual File Manager XT is another option worth mentioning. You should consider it especially if you are a fan of the two-pane Windows Explorer view that Windows versions previous to Windows 95 make available. This file manager brings exactly that ease of use and double browsing to your Android smartphone. What you will also discover while browsing this app is the possibility to use thumbnail views and the option to easily search the content available and make sure that file management is under control by using even operations like archiving. What I can also let you know about this option is that you can download it for free and install on any smartphone that runs Android 1.5 or later.
If you are in need of more options you should also consider Astro File Manager. This option falls in the footsteps of the previous options because it makes available similar file browsing and management capabilities. Features that come as a bonus are the possibility to backup files and apps and use the file manager’s interface in order to view images and text files. What I must also mention are the search capabilities made available and the download manager that comes along. Like most of the other options this app is available for free and compatible with more than one Android version.

Android App File Manager
Ghost Commander File Manager is another option that you should consider. This is the option that you should choose to use if you are a fan of Total Commander. That’s because this file manager tries to be as similar to Total Commander as possible and in the same time add some useful features such as thumbnail views, built-in text editor and the possibility to classify certain files and folders as favorite. The downside is that the UI is not extremely excitant. However, if you are into simple approaches this is definitely the file manager that you should consider first and foremost. I must add that the manager is free for download and compatible with Android 1.6 and later.
