Trial and error, not all file commanders will work, what's wrong with file commander?

I have accidentally deleted some files and I can't retrieve the files unless I purchase the full version of it
And sometimes I can't find saved files I don't know why it's just frustrating to use it
So I'm looking for another app that works with z2

@Amro161

keep in mind that you can't restore files that are/were stored on the internal storage only SD card, and you can use RECUVA to do so.

It seems that Google is allowing more freedom to other file commanders, trial and error, I haven't tested another file commander but I'll let you know

I've used ES File Explorer (rooted and un-rooted) ...BEST file manager app I've used - among many!

Hello Amro161. In my opinion ES file Explorer is the best file managing. It's got all you need, you can restore files which are deleted cause it has a recycle bin. Try it and tell us if it will work fine on Lollipop. I'm using it ,but my Z2 is still running on Kit kat . On Kit kat the ES file manager has some restrictions. For example moving files from internal storage to the SD card is not allowed, only file commander can do this. Some files can't be deleted ,an error message pops up telling you that you have to root your phone to make ES file Explorer work well. Please tell us if it will work perfectly on Lollipop, cause I'm going to update to Lollipop sooner or later.

Thanks a lot.

Hello SIMAUD. You've said ( I've used ES File Explorer (rooted and un-rooted) ...BEST file manager app I've used - among many! ). I agree with you. But would you please tell me if you're using Lolipop or Kitkat. If You're using Lolipop, would you please tell me if the ES Explorer works fine. I mean can you move files from internal storage to the SD card? On KIT KAT I can't do this,only with file commander.

Thanks a lot.

@Prodigy1

Why don't you try the apps? what works for some might not work for you.

I'm gonna install Es today and I hope it works fine and I'll let you know if there is anything wrong with it

Thank you very much Amro161. But would you please tell me if you're using lollipop or not. I hope it works fine for you.

Re: Another app instead of File commander for z2?

Amro161 — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 11:04:35 GMT

Yeah I'm using it that's why I'm asking because alot of users said that it doesn't work with kitkat but none said anything about lollipop

Re: Another app instead of File commander for z2?

Amro161 — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 11:36:01 GMT

Now I have installed es and it's working fine I can restore any file I can move it from internal storage to SD card but the problem is I can't turn root Explorer on (sorry,test failed. this can't run on your device) yet when I tried to move a file or a pic you can choose the root directory to move it to the file you want

Re: Another app instead of File commander for z2?

Amro161 — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 11:41:16 GMT

Thanks a lot mate. In order to turn root Explorer on , I think your phone must be rooted. My EX phone was xperia SP and it runs on Jelly bean, ES was working fine on it Eccept turning root explorer on. So it is working on Lollipop without any problems.
