User Reviews

ExplorER is praised for being ad-free, feature-rich, and consistently reliable over years. It shines with cross-storage/multi-tab navigation (USB, cloud, local, SMB), powerful file operations, built-in viewers and scripting, plus bookmarking. Privacy-minded design (no cookies/terms) is also noted. The main recurring drawback is the removal of Google Drive access, which frustrates users who depended on GDrive. Some users also note usability questions around zip/tar creation and occasional lag, but overall it remains a capable power-user file manager.

Pros

Ad-free experience
Powerful cross-storage and multi-tab support (USB, Cloud, Local, SMB)
Rich feature set (built-in viewers, script support, copy/move/rename, favorites/bookmarks)
Long-standing, reliable file manager with privacy focus (no cookies/terms)
Strong SMB/LAN file sharing and network access

Cons
