File Manager

File Manager for everyday storage control

File Manager from Xiaomi Inc. is a general-purpose Android utility for browsing, organizing and maintaining files on a phone. It suits people who want one place to find downloads, documents, images, videos and other stored content without switching between several separate tools. Its layout supports both quick access to recent items and deeper navigation through device storage.

What it helps you manage

• File categories: View content by type, making it easier to reach documents, media, application packages and other common formats.
• Storage cleanup: Identify cache, junk and redundant items that may be taking up space, then remove unwanted data from the management interface.
• File operations: Move, rename, copy and delete files when folders need reorganising.
• Archives: Work with compressed files, including ZIP and RAR archives, without relying on a separate archive utility.
• Offline sharing: Transfer files between nearby compatible devices without using mobile data or an internet connection.

Why it stands out in the Tools category

A file browser becomes more useful when it helps answer two questions quickly: where is the item, and what is consuming storage? File Manager addresses both through category-based access and cleanup features. The recent-items view is useful for files that were just downloaded or edited, while the storage view is better suited to deliberate folder management and larger clean-up tasks.

Usage and overall standing

With a 4.57 rating from more than 4.3 million reviews and 1,000,000,000+ installs, File Manager has broad adoption across Android users. That scale makes it a practical choice for routine storage tasks rather than a specialist tool aimed only at advanced users. It is most suitable for anyone who wants file discovery, basic maintenance, archive handling and local sharing gathered into one app.
