This is a refreshingly competent file browser that's easy to use. Setting up my external drives, FTP and LAN all went without a hitch. I especially like the double-paned windows that make file browsing so easy. Having said all that, the app displays in the app drawer as "Files" which is the same name and similar logo to the natively installed file browser on Moto phones. At least the app drawer name should be renamed to "Material Files."
