Excellent lightweight app that doesn't rely on virtual categories, which can become really flaky over time (and I haven't found a way to cleanly fix them). Here, what you see is what you get, the actual files and folders. The only thing missing is a recycle bin and cloud access. For the former, I do realize the direct access nature of the app may make that impossible, so great care is required to not accidentally delete files since it's a permanent operation. At least a warning is first given!

Overall a great experience. The only improvements are: 1) Multi select files in a folder. If there's 20 files and i need to select from 5th to 14th be nice if there was a way to select easier instead of clicking each one individually. 2) I'd like the option of a compact view of the folders/files. For me the gap between each one is too much and i can't find an option to change. Introducing for me would make it 5 stars

The application is very good! I've been using it for about three months and the only thing I have to say is that I've had several crashes when transferring files via FTP. Often the FTP server / the application itself crashes and I have to enable the server again and try to transfer the file, this is annoying and I don't know what it could be exactly. Thanks for your patience, this application is essential for me, a great file manager.
