I had a vague idea of what happened to ES File Explorer with it becoming adware & being removed from Google Play, but the issue had gone on longer than that & been worse than that. holy shit, rest in piss. I don't think anything will ever come close to the capabilities of ES File Explorer, there will never be a file manager as good, & that was all lost for quick money. Hijacking the lock screen, adware, clickfraud, & privacy issues.
