Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ES File Explorer at 4.6 against My WebDAV's 1.0. ES File Explorer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15K vs 2). My WebDAV's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 64%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ES File Explorer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ES File Explorer has 15K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of My WebDAV's written reviews are positive against 64% of ES File Explorer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My WebDAV ships an update every 2 months, ES File Explorer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
