5 great file managers for Android TV

[51CTO.com Quick Translation] Android TV is a TV platform developed and maintained by Google based on the Android operating system, providing users with a smart way to watch their favorite content in a familiar environment.

While there are thousands of file managers for Android smartphones, there aren't nearly as many for Android TV, and only about half of them are reliable.

Of course, some TVs come with built-in file managers, but they are limited in functionality; that’s why we decided to list the best Android TV file managers on the market.

They're all easy to use, easy to navigate (thanks to simple user interfaces), and optimized to work with Android TV without the need for a mouse or keyboard.

1. File Commander

File Commander is a really simple yet powerful file management app that allows users to manage content on Android TV using a desktop browser.

It is able to connect with nearby Bluetooth devices, share files directly with the PC via a tablet or smartphone, access remote storage locations via FTP/FTPS, and more.

5. File Explorer

File Explorer is a simple, lightweight file management app that lets you open any Android TV file as quickly as the click of a button.

It is an Android TV browser and there are no copy, move or upload to cloud server command options, which may be a drawback, depending on how you look at it. If you just need the ability to browse and open files on Android TV, it is perfect.
