So does connecting to servers in USA or Russia make it much more safer?
If you're so paranoid , then you should not be using it. Alternatively, block any internet access by using No-root firewall.

Yes. At least, from what i know, USA or Russia servers are interested in politics. But servers from Beijing or HongKong will use your info to steal money from you.

No, the thing is, this app should not connect at all to any server.

.... and if the server being contacted is in one of the religious enclaves it's all about kiddy porn.

then all make sure use VPN all the time.

Thank you for this

How to get RAR plug-in for this explorer ??

How to get RAR plug-in for this explorer ??

Zip viewer is already built in ( not sure if it can handle rars) . If you want rar features simple install RAR for android (available here) and select ,in ES, open with -> other.

Bundle zip not support RAR, 7z compression ...btw .zip is supported.

Thanks for the suggestion, but plug-in is more convenient if possible .

Hi,
Any one can let me know what's differences Pro vs File Manager version?
Regards

√ Remove Ad an Ad free version
√More to customize updated color panel and more start page options
√More to expect ES File Explorer (File Manager) team will keep improving the app and strive to keep it the #1 most powerful file manager for android.
√more theme options...

Pro was created as a damage control measure to placate es users after a series of unpopular changes to the free version . It never really took of - more or less a dead horse at this point in time - the free version has more functionality than pro.

Be it pro or free the app spies and its users and reports back to several serves located in China . To call it the " #1 most powerful file manager for android" is grossly overstated , there are many as good (if not better file explorers available ) .

ES actually lost many of its users (yours truly included) after the unpopular changes were put in place.

This will be helpful indeed:

As this version works for older devices and ES has some features that many other do not have at all.

Avoiding spyware is important - as is having apps that do what you need for them to do.
