Root Explorer. Solid Explorer is good, but not the best anymore.
ES File Explorer is the best free one. I personally don't like it.
I use es file explorer on all my devices. Works great for root access and has some nice network options as well.

Was wondering what other Galaxy Nexus owners use as a filer manger. Used to use Explorer (not root) on my old phone, but it does not display properly on the GNex.
I am open to the "Icon" style GUI's though I tend to like the list style better. I don't mind pay-for apps.
I use ES file explorer.. I like the GUI and it works fine on the GN
Root Explorer is the best I've found. A recent update made it possible to open most if not all file types from the app. I was using Astro to do that but now that Root Explorer can do i as well it's a one stop shop for me.
There is a new free alternative to Root Explorer called Root Browser. I used it a little a few weeks back on my Droid 3 but it doesn't seem a mature as Root Explorer so I haven't used it since.
Everybody has his own preference but the 3 main ones I've noticed around are
ES File explorer
File Expert
Root Explorer
ES File Exlporer doesn't get to ALL files though does it? I have root explorer , but I can't update.....some crazy mess going on with that app , in the market( only for me though). I am still on version 2.16. Is root browser pretty much the same as root explorer ?
The best File explorers/managers you can get are:
Androzip
because of it's easy-to-use interface and because of it's understandable options
ES file Explorer
This app coninces due to it's colourful interface. It has good and accecable controls, and it barely interfears with anything...
The only thing that bothers me, though, is that you have to multi-select, to delete files/folders...
Root Explorer (File manager)
This app starts automaticly in the root section (filesystem)
You can use this ap, to remount your filesystem, and you can moify the SDcard speed, whilst you're at it...
The only thing that is missing, is the colourfulness in other explorers...
The same goes for speedsoftware's explorer.
It starts in the root section, and you can have a look-see through your OS, you can delete things from your SD card, but you cannot modify your OS.
That's why I would recommend this to beginners/hobby modders...
Those are he main explorers, and they are all together the best you can find.
I'll give another vote for ES File Explorer. Great UI and worked for everything I needed.

All the above mentioned work quite well so it's really just a matter of preference. I like the simplistic UI of Root Explorer (+ it's the first file explorer I bought when I first started with Android) so I use it.
My vote goes with ES.
Contrary to some comments above, you can access and modify all files with it (it is root enabled), and you don't need to multi select to delete stuff, you can long press...
The built in text editor and zip manager work with ROM zips and scripts etc, and even apk files. I even use it on my GTV because the built in movie player is compatible with more file formats than any other player for GTV...
And I just love the wifi explorer and cloud storage integration...

I believe (its been a while) you just go into ES File Explorer settings and enable the root access feature.

i personally use ES, its free and pretty much fully functional
root explorer ftw.
ES and Astro work but I can't stand the UI.
Simple for me, "explorer" if you're not rooted and "root explorer" if you are. Both apps are by the same dev. Clean, intensive and ad free.

Get a file explorer that supports root access, use it to change permissions. Nuff said
Quick question how'd you do it with root explorer? I'm kind of a newbie
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
If you use the Root Explorer app, just long-press on a file, scroll down to and click on "Permissions" and then set them
Same is said for most file managers with root access.

ES File explorer also supports root, you have to check it in the settings
Hi
So I just rooted my OUYA but there is a problem. Everything seems to work fine except for root file managers. Installed root browser but once I open it, it instantly crashes. Same with ES file explorer. With root explorer I manage to navigate, but once I click a file it crashes too.
I installed root checker and it confirms that the console is rooted. I tried everything (including re-doing the entire process) but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
It's probably the apps, not root. A lot of sideloaded apps aren't going to work (newest ES file explorer included) simply because they aren't designed for the Ouya.

I am using ES File Explorer 3.0.5.1 WITH root access just fine. May wanna try find that version.
I'm running on a rooted Z1C.
I already changed the settings so I can write on my sdcard.
I'm using ES File explorer,
in settings click on root and
mount everything I can see as R/W (/, /system, /mnt/idd, lta-label)
but I still can't write anything to /system or /system/etc.
I always get permission denied when copying a file.
I was able to do it with root explorer so now I'm still wondering why ES File explorer 3.1.6 can't do it.
How to solve this for ES File explorer?
I like to use only one file manager for those tasks.

Have you installed this app? I use ES File Explorer 3.1.6 on KitKat and I can copy or rename files to external SD.
Make sure you granted root access in your superSU or superuser app to es file explorer. It is working for me.

I already installed SDFIX.
SInce supersu 1.99r4 craches sometimes I decided to go back to SuperSU1.94.
But now I always get a message in ES File explorer when I try to set Root; your device does not support this.
When I try once again with Root explorer everything works fine.
So what's going on, do I need anolder version of ES File explorer, is there something wrong with version 3.1.6
If I open up suersu I can see ES File explorer in the list, do I need to specify a specific user for it?

I'm using 3.1.6 aswell. And no, you just need to grant it root access.

I completely uninstalled Es File expliorer and SuperSu.
Reinstalled Supersu 1.94 and ES File explorer 3.1.6
Gave ES File explorer root access and now it works fine.
No idea what happaned but now it works fine.
Wondering what file manager app most of you all are using on this phone. I'm having trouble finding a good one with 8.1.
I had high hopes for the new Google files Go app, although it really doesn't seem like it can do much yet.
Solid explorer is still my explorer of choice after about 3 years and 4 phones.
Root Explorer.
Root Explorer for me. Tried other ones but I always come back to RE
Edit: been using MiExplorer for aweek or so now and I'm really liking it.
Mixplorer for me ?
Root Explorer
Fx file explorer for me
It just works and you can "tweak it" to your preference.

Been using Root Explorer since like 2010. Have no reason to look for a replacement. It's perfect.
