What is the best file manager for my phone. Is there a way to get something similar to the one on BB10
solid explorer seems to be a highly recommended one.
File Commander is good too.
Both Solid Explorer and Asus Zen UI are good, imho.
I use ES File Explorer Pro. Does exactly what I need it to do.
+1 for the Asus Zen UI
I like Asus file manager for a free one
+1 for Asus. It also has a dark mode
I use Solid Explorer.
As for recommendations of ES, I can only recommend the pro version; a big part of the criticisms of it causing ads and bloat are from the free version.
I have gone with Asus on all of my non-Samsung Android phones in the past. It does the job, easy moving form internal storage to SD card. Not the most feature rich, but fine for me.
I use X-Plore (free) which compares nicely to Solid Explorer
+1 for Asus
Asus
I use FX File manager.
Total Commmander
^This.
Solid Explorer's discounted now, in case you're interested.

So I've went and tried ASUS File Manager based on this thread and I've got to say it is AMAZING!!! You can link your Google drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and others to it (basically eliminating the need for their respective apps), and the LAN option to directly connect to your PC thru your Wifi connection to transfer files! It also features a hidden PIN-protected cabinet for files you don't want easily accessible too, has Dark Mode, and overall it's free and I don't see any ads!! (If there are some, then I don't notice them)
I don't see ads anymore either! At one point the Asus file manager had ads but obviously not any more.
Asus is the closest to replicating BB10's file manager in terms of simplicity I find. Solid Explorer is more powerful and suited for power users imho. I also have more faith in both vendors that other file manager Dev's. Jmho.
I've settled on Solid Explorer which is much like the BB10 File Manager, but the ASUS File Manager uses a different type of interface and can be useful as well.
ES File Explorer pro.
All of the ones mentioned are very good, and have free versions. I'm currently testing one called File Manager +. One thing I like about FM+ is that it allows FTP access from any computer. The best advantage of that is being able to move folders and their contents in their entirety; something the others don't offer - and something I had with my BB10.
If you buy solid explorer and change phones do you have to buy it again?
No. There are some pay apps on the Playstore that limit simultaneous use to X number of devices but never for just switching a phone.
