Every Android TV user needs to install the file manager for a number of reasons. First, Android TV does not have the original Explorer file. Secondly, because many application developers have not made their applications compatible with Android TV, you will need File Explorer to download APK file for applications not in the Play Store.
Here are some of the best file manager for Android TV.
Most importantly, all applications are easy to navigate by Android TV remote control. File Explorer is sideload on the outside often requires an external mouse or a gaming controller to operate, so we will avoid those things.
The first choice of the proposed article is X-Plore File Manager. It uses a two -compartment approach to file management. In the sideload context, this is great. Two compartments make it easy to move APK from USB to Android TV's storage drive.
The downside is that it is not really user friendly. Although not complicated, it takes you a while to get used to the application of the application.
Total Commander will be familiar with many users. This is one of the best file manager for Android version for mobile devices. However, it also works great with Android TV and is full of special features for large screen.
Finally, Total Commander offers a range of plugins. They provide everything from Webdav function to FTP and SFTP Client. Certainly, they sound like techniques, but if you buy an Android TV device, you will quickly understand their value.
Unlike X-Plore File Manager and Total Commander, TVEXPlorer is not available on Android's mobile version. You can only find this application through Play Store on your Android TV device.
Because of the exclusive use of Android TV, this application complies with the design principles of Android TV. Therefore, TVEXPlorer can be considered as the most beautiful interface of the applications here. And when you are viewing an application on a 60 -inch screen, it is an important feature.
Unfortunately, it cannot be compared with the other two applications in terms of feature. It performs the basic functions (such as changing the file name and extracting the zip file) but does not have many other functions. There is no way to connect with applications like Google Drive and Dropbox. However, there is a feature of filing file via Wi-Fi.
