Abstract

Storage in mobile phones has become increasingly important with massive usage of smartphones in recent days. People access the file system of their smartphones to store or use files and folders via different file explorer applications. Although there are numerous file explorers available in the app stores, these lack a great deal of features the users frequently demand for easy access and manipulation of the file systems of their smartphones. We have conducted interviews among smartphone users to determine the most desired and claimed aspects for the file browser applications and try to evaluate some popular file browsers according to these features' presence in them. Finally we propose a design implication for a customized file explorer application based on users' preference.
