ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

File Manager Document Explorer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: File Manager Document Explorer has 32 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of File Manager Document Explorer's written reviews are positive against 50% of FileShare's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

File Manager Document Explorer ships an update every 3 months, FileShare every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
