Dir - File Manager

Dir is a simple, beautiful, free and open source file manager for Android. Features:

* Clean design with award winning animations*
* Blazing fast
- tiny size.
* Themeable with battery friendly dark theme.
* File and folder bookmarks and home screen shortcuts.
* Free, open source and privacy minded: No data collection, no ads, no unnecessary permissions
- absolutely no data collection!

Footnote: The animation design in Dir has earned it the "best use of motion in Material design app" award during Droidcon London 2016.

Techie stuff:
* To see the code or contribute visit https://github.com/veniosg/Dir.
* Dir is a fork of OI File Manager and is fully compatible with its Intent API. This means that if an app needs OI File Manager to fully function, you can use Dir instead.

very convenient, but needs improvement: (01) search, selection, and processing by criteria. when you search files by a criterion like file name pattern it does show correct results, but nothing can be done to them except opening one. it would be nice if the selected subset could be moved, or renamed, etc. all together. (02) new folder creation while moving a file would be useful. at present the new folder has to be created seperately, requiring two operations.

New Update, 10.07.2o21. For users say it does not access SD.. but it does. users just have to find out how the app works. However its STILL the dumbest file mngr out NO file menu features for files have seen only bookmarking also NEEDS to MOVE and RENAME & SORT files not just bookmark another problem app get stuck using back button APP NEED FIXING QUICKLY So many any other problems will be shown again. t.y.

Surprisingly capable for it's size - very fast, too. Needs history or other mechanism to quickly switch between two or more folders for managing files. Easy multi-select by clicking icon would be nice as well.

After trying so many alternatives this one simply nails it with pure simplicity yet it is powerful enough to do what you need and want.

Need a way to disable animations, they are very unnatural.

Small fast and doesn't require "permissions" to your soul.

not that good

First impressions» Simple, intuitive, minimal permissions (most importantly no Internet), open source, small footprint, has most file and folder management capabilities including creating rudimentary shortcuts to files & folders (can't change icon or edit text). Has a dark theme. The only niggle is the wasted space, personally I would prefer more compact listing. Doesn't open pdf files in 'APV PDF Viewer' (might be an issue with the viewer, but other file manager OK with it).

Please add cloud connectivity for Google drive and OneDrive and swipe navigation to go back and forth.

Nice. I will be sideloading this on my android tv but I'm currently unable to select the pen icon with a controller.

Really nice. Open Source FTW! Still has some sample bugs but I'm sure the developers will fix them soon.

A. G. u. Mar 24, 2018     

For a pure, simple file manager, it does its job very well. Open source, light on resources, low space requirements: it is all I need. Thank you for your hard work!

Hom. M. Mar 14, 2018     

I like that it is fast and light. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't handle APK files. When I try to open APK files it says 'No Matching Application Installed.' I don't know if it is a bug or not but I hope you could sort that out in the next updates.

OK local file manager. Good potential but lacks important features. Extra points for being open source and CLEAN - no ads, no extraneous perms, no free bait and switch. Thanks.

file names are cropped..Header space is wasted. Pl make necessary changes & it will be 5*.
