User Reviews

Users praise Solid Explorer for strong network/cloud integration, PC-like file-management versatility, reliability, and fast cloud transfers. However, frequent update-related regressions are a major pain point: SMB/LAN/NAS connectivity breaks, license checks fail, SFTP/FTP support degrades, and core actions (copy, filtered selections) can stop working. Some users also report permission issues and disliked UI changes. Overall, the app is highly valued when functioning, but update-induced instability is the dominant drawback.

Pros

Strong network and cloud storage integration with encryption features for remote access and security.
PC-like versatility and robust file-management capabilities (create/rename/delete, compress, sort, bookmarking, app selection).
Long-standing, reliable file manager with a simple, no-bloat UX and steady improvements.
Fast and reliable cloud transfers across services, including solid performance with Solid Explorer cloud and Google Cloud integration.

Cons

SMB/LAN/NAS connectivity frequently broken after updates, with unknown errors and inability to connect to devices.
License/activation issues (Can't read license) affecting usage after updates.
SFTP/FTP support broken in recent versions (TLS/resuming sessions and cipher compatibility issues).
Update regressions that remove or cripple core functionality (e.g., copy between drives, filtered selection actions, and other UI changes).
Permission-related barriers (e.g., system folder access denied) and other permission/UX regressions.

I've been using this app as a Pro Member for many years. I've purchased every available plugin for it, and today I was greeted with a message letting me know that if I want to continue with 3.0 functionality, I have to pay for it again. This is horrible Customer Support!
