ES File Explorer was once the go-to option for file management on Android, but the introduction of built-in Android file managers effectively made this once-great app obsolete. While Google has removed the app from the Play Store, it’s still possible to use ES File Explorer on Android devices.

ES File Explorer does everything the built-in Android file manager can do and more. Its file management capabilities include managing local files, including root system files and other hidden files on your device. It manages files in your cloud accounts, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Box.net, OneDrive and more.

ES File Explorer manages how and where storage is used to optimize device performance and connects to devices on your LAN, such as Windows machines and their shared folders. Additional features include a notepad app, a download manager, and a music player.

To use ES File Explorer, you’ll first need to download the APK file directly from the developer, ES App Group, and then sideload the app onto your Android device. Once you have access to the free version, there’s also a premium version that you can unlock with an in-app purchase.
