I'm currently using X-plore.

Does what I need and allows the user to change how to access files for non-root and root users. No need for separate programs or basic/pro versions. Just change the access through options in settings. It does have a donate function integrated into the tool bar so non-intrusive. Also has no ads.

I was happy to see it ported from Symbian onto Android.

It's got to be Es explorer for me, though I'm keeping an eye on solid explorer, as when it's ready for final release I reckon it'll be the top-dog!

Es has wonderful cloud support, is very user-friendly, very stable, and reasonably quick.

Solid has dual panes (Es does also, but one is off-screen) also powerful filter and search functions, drag & drop, and looks beautiful. Cloud support not as extensive as Es(yet!)

Mkc has a lot of powerful tools, including regular expression search. However, it is cumbersome and FUGLY! Also, the Dev spams other file-manager pages in play store - tut-tut!

Both Astro and Scalicommander lack cloud support, and more importantly haven't been updated in yonks!
