## Review summary

FE File Explorer Pro is valued as a powerful all-in-one file manager with strong NAS/SMB support and good cross-device transfer capabilities, praised by long-time users. However, multiple reviews cite drawbacks: Google Drive support has been dropped; the Android UI/UX feels outdated; video playback features are limited or unstable; and connectivity to cloud services and local networks can be unreliable. Users seek parity with iOS, improved security options, and continued updates to fix these gaps.

### Pros

- All-in-one solution: file manager, image gallery, and video player in one app.
- Strong NAS/SMB and network sharing support (works well with Synology; reduces issues like delayed downloads).
- Reliable over years with feature-rich capabilities; widely recommended by long-time users.
- Efficient file transfer across devices and to servers (FTP/uploads).
- Dark theme and generally pleasant UI appealing to some users.

### Cons

- Google Drive/Drive integration removed or dropped (noted by multiple reviews).
- Android UI/UX visuals are outdated compared to newer apps (noted as not up to par with iOS visuals).
- Video playback features and behavior have gaps or regressions (limited options, updates can break some functionality).
- Connectivity and sharing reliability issues (Dropbox connections can fail; SMB/local network discovery can be problematic on some setups).
