- Why do you think it’s important to have a File Manager on your phone? (Or why not?)
I have found scenarios where I cannot accomplish a task with the existing system and therefore need to use a file manager. For example:
-
a download needs to be relocated so the correct app can see it. Currently downloading a pdf is a good example of this. The document viewer doesn't open it if I chose that as the action for the download. Instead I must save to Downloads and later move to Documents.
-
sometimes I discover there is a problem with space and need to quickly delete some music.
-
When samba was working, I used it to access documents on the home share. It worked very nicely.
-
Which are the most important features for you?
Bookmarks for fast navigation
Swipe up from bottom for quick access to other volumes
Cut/Copy/Paste/Rename
Samba -
Which are the common tasks you try to accomplish?
Fix file locations so the correct app can see them (usually move from Downloads to ./Videos or ./Music, for example.
Delete when space is tight.
Access samba shares to use media that wouldn't fit on the device (I have a large collection on the home server, I can copy a little at a time and delete later). -
How the current version of File Manager fails to meet your expectations?
It's actually very good. I have no complaints, other than Samba no longer works.
