If you happen to be an android user then one of those apps you almost can't do without is the file manager. Although most android devices do come with a file manager by default but those apps only allow you to perform the basics functions like copy, cut, paste etc. So if you want to perform some more advance functions like compressing and extracting of zip files, l managing your cloud drive etc, then you definitely need a third party file manager app.

Although there are lots of file manager applications on the Android app store but in this post I will list out the best among them and also list out some of their features .

1. ES File Explorer
This is no doubt one of the best file manager app you can get for your Android smartphone. Aside letting you access and organize your local files, ES File Explorer also makes it easy for you to access your cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox, skydrive and box.
