Why should we download 3rd party apps. Please create your own file manager app for xperia users. Its not a big job for sony.

Hi @RanjithKS360,

There is a preinstalled file manager in Android 6 and 7.

In 6.0 this is found under Settings > Storage > Explore while in 7.0 you'll have to go to Settings > Storage > Tap the three dots > Advanced > Storage > Tap SD-card or Internal storage and you will be allowed to explore your files.

But as @nolramlb mentioned there are also plenty of other options available on Google Play. That's my favorite thing about Android, that you can customize your phone however you please.

Let me know if there is anything you are wondering about!

Why we use 3rd party apps. Other brand devices are comes with their own file manager. But why sony does not do that.

The File manager in setting not easy to access,it took more time to open it. why you can add a preinstalled file manager ? instead of using 3rd party apps.

Try to add preinstalled file manager in Nougat Update

Not having a pre installed file Explorer gives the user more choice on what apps they want on their device, there are lots of choices in Google play Store, some users just want simple file Explorer some wants a full featured ones, thats the point of the Android ecosystem, being able to have your choice of apps. You don't want your Oem to install a file Explorer that doesn't suit your needs.

OK. I accept your explanation for why not giving pre-installed file manager. At the same time there are many choices for users in play store instead ofapps like clean master, Avg, Facebook etc. Then why sony put these apps for users.
