Originally Published on Aug 6, 2019: Cx File Explorer Review: If you’ve been following us, you might have observed that we are trying to find the best replacement for the Stock Apps. We Already Replaced the Google Play Music with Musicolet; Read the Musicolet Review. Now After that, we moved to the next app “Files by Google”. It was fine till yesterday but with the new update, it forced me to find a replacement for itself. I tried many but this file manager app fulfilled my need with some extra features. Thus I thought to share my Cx File Explorer Review with all of you.
Cx File Explorer (No Ads File Manager)
Cx File Explorer is a Powerful Android File manager + Gallery + Music Player App. It is Completely Free and it is maybe the only File manager with no ads. I am using Cx File Explorer 1.2.0 with the latest update on 5 August 2019. This No Ads File Manager/ Explorer fits only 4.6MB and 1,000,000+ Android users already installed it. It requires Android 5.0 and up.
No Ads File Manager Cx File Explorer Permission Required
It is a File manager app so obviously, this app has access to:
- Storage: Read the contents of your USB storage, modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
- Photos / Media / Files: Read the contents of your USB storage, and modify or delete the contents of your USB storage.

- Other: Receive data from the Internet, connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi, run at startup, prevent the device from sleeping, view network connections, change network connectivity, control vibration, full network access, and install shortcuts.

Cx File Explorer Review
Cx File Explorer is a file manager app with a clean and intuitive interface. With the user-friendly UI, you can easily browse, move, copy, compress, rename, extract, delete, create, and share files (folders) on both the internal and external storage of your mobile device.

When you open the app at first, then it will only ask permission to access the storage and media, no permission asked to connect to the internet. It is an enormous relief for privacy-concerned people. We have seen this amazing thing before in Musicolet Review. Now at the welcome or main screen, there are two sections, one for Memory Analyzer and another part having Local, Library, and Network Sections.
It provides visualized storage analysis so that you can quickly scan the available space and manage it. In the second section Under Local, there are shortcuts to access Storage, Downloads, Apps, and Recycle Bin. Under Library Section there are shortcuts for all the media files like Music files in Music, and videos in the Videos Section.
The Third section is Network which allows you to access the files from your online storage accounts. You can access files within remote or shared storage like FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, and LAN. Also, you can access your mobile device from your PC using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). This section will require Internet access.
Have you noticed that? It gave all the major functions on the main screen, so you can access all the files without wasting time. Not just on the main screen, the effort is clearly visible on each screen, So User-interface is top-notch for this app additionally Material Design interface clarifies the visuals.
The App is Fast and supports most media file types. You can Play Music, View Images, watch videos, and manage installed apps with no external Android app. The Cx File Explorer app also Provides the option to create a new file and show and hide Folders. Additionally, it also has the feature to extract .zip files, and also it allows us to compress files and folders.

Similar to Musicolet the app is a combination of 5-6 apps. And the main point is that the app is completely free and without ads. So you can use it without interruption.
So it provides a rich set of features that advanced users are looking for without feeling bloated. I found it better than the stock file manager apps and also the files app by Google. So I am replacing the files app with Cx File Explorer permanently.

Conclusion

Hello Terry,
Thanks for your Positive Comment, it means a lot to us, and also thank you for informing us about the issues. However, Your response was counted, actually, we disabled the double click to make things authentic, so it is quite possible that you clicked on the button twice. We enabled auto ads, and we are still exploring the options it provides, so I will fix it soon.
Once again thank you for your comment, keep visiting, and have a great day.
Yes I too had issues with upgrade. Actually didnt need upgrade features so rolled it back to 1.1.9
Found a few others as well which will post on soon!
