AndExplorer is a file manager for Android devices. It allows browsing files and folders stored on device and sdcard. It can sort by name, size and date. Rename, delete, and create folder features are available. It is able to uncompress ZIP, GZIP and TAR files too. It can be called from another application with Intent facilities.
Price: Free
AndExplorer is brought to you be LYESOFT, the same folks who make AndFTP, BucketUpload, and S3Anywhere. AndExplorer comes with the standard features you would expect. The ability to browse files, change, change to different folders, copy, move, rename, delete and create new folders.
It also has a few bonus features not present in many of the other file browsers in the Market. Of particular interest are:
Note: At the time of this review, AndExplorer was just released as 1.0BETA1. Some of the features and elements may change by the time it reaches release status.
Frankly, this type of application will not likely be needed by the average user. If you are a developer, or someone that hacks around with your Android, or simply a person that finds organizing files a way of life then you may want to check this one out. If you don’t have a rooted phone, it’s unlikely that you will need to do any file organization on the internal storage system since most directories are protected. In that event, it’s probably easier to do most of your work via mounting the SD card via USB connection to your PC.
AndExplorer was fairly easy to use. The UI looks very clean with nice with polished icons and a well thought out menu system. I believe it has a lot of potential. There were only a couple of items that we hope will be addressed before the software reaches release status:
Potential daily use if you are an application developer or you like to hack around with your phone, otherwise it’s not likely to be needed often.

Thanks for the review. We will add option to select font/row size as you’ve suggested. Same for “Back” support.
Sounds a lot like what I need, except I also need to be able to search a large number of small text files looking for any given string of characters anywhere in any of the files or directories (not just the names of the files). Can it do that?
Yes, we plan to add search feature. For now, we’ve just released 1.0 BETA2 at:
