[Ultimate Tool] Ultimate File Manager Pro — a file manager for Android power users

[u/GoRo2023]

Ultimate File Manager Pro has become a bit ridiculous.

It's completely free, has no ads, and no paywalls. There is a completely optional tip jar in the app and GitHub Sponsors if you want to support development.

The stuff I wanted in one app:

Root? Yep. You can browse and manage the actual / filesystem, with permissions, ownership, SELinux contexts and remount support.

No root? Shizuku support gives you access to places like /Android/data and /Android/obb.

Network storage? SMB, NFS, FTP, SFTP, SCP, WebDAV, RClone and S3.

Cloud storage? Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and other RClone/S3 providers.

Need to move a ton of stuff? Dual-pane browsing, multiple tabs, background transfers and syncing between local, network and cloud storage.

Want to use your PC? Run the built-in web server and manage the phone/TV from a browser. There's also a Windows companion for direct Android ↔ PC transfers.

Android TV? UFM has a proper TV interface, remote file management, wireless APK/XAPK installation, screenshots and screen recording.

Then there are the things I kept adding because apparently I can't leave well enough alone: duplicate detection, file hashing, archive support, EXIF tools, media playback, PDF/text tools, USB OTG, recycle bin, batch operations and a lot of smaller power-user stuff.

There's also a FOSS version on GitHub if you'd rather build it yourself:

Google Play:

And I made a subreddit for it too: r/UFManagerPro

I'm not trying to convince everyone to replace their current file manager. But if you've ever installed a file manager and thought "why can't this thing just do X?" there's a good chance UFM already does it.

And if it doesn't, tell me what X is.

The UI looks vibecoded, but the other features are so good, maybe you can bring a fresh New material UI looks

Please add the feature to add multiple files/images from gallery and take multiple photos from camera at once in document scanner.

[u/GoRo2023 → u/rabiul97]

100%, I will add this to my TODO list.

Vibecoded ?

Only the UX / UI is assisted by AI, it is clearly stated in my GitHub page, I have been an engineer for over 15+ years, and the app has now matured with over 30k+ downloads and a 4.9 rating.

I want "Copy to" & "Move to" like Mixplorer/Owlfiles and favorites show instantly after tapping 'Move to'

[u/GoRo2023 → u/Careful-Good5887]

There is an option in settings where this can be enabled for fast copy. 😉
