ES File Explorer

ES File Explorer is an app for file management, available on iOS, MacOS, and Android. The app offers a variety of features, including local and cloud file management, extracting archives, and downloading content from the web.

Design, Navigation, and Usability: Fairly Good

ES File Explorer has a good design, both visually attractive and functional. The fonts and icons will please your eye, and the dark mode will protect it at night. Just as most modern apps. ES File Explorer has several main sections pinned at the bottom for easier navigation. The files are structured by folders and provide experience, which is close to using Windows file explorer. The app offers a wide range of features, but is still easy to navigate and is very user friendly.

All of the features come with a functional interface, allowing you to increase the playback speed for videos, change the font size for e-books, and customize many other things for your preferences. The usability is definitely better than in default file explorers both for Android and iOS.

Features and Security: Multi-Functional

As for the features, ES File Explorer has a lot to offer. With this app, you can not only manage your files, create folders and move files from one folder to another, but also browse the web, read e-books and PDF files, play music, and download files from the web. It also allows importing files from iCloud Drive and iTunes, along with a wide range of formats supported. ES File Explorer also provides archive management features, including compression and encryption. All in all, it is a pretty powerful tool, in many ways, better than the default file explorers.

As for security, there has been a major issue in 2019, when a critical vulnerability was found. More than 100 million users were at risk of losing their data, as it was possible to interact with the app from other devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
