About the new permission "SuperUser":
This permission is now requested to make Total Commander work better on rooted devices. It tells the SuperUser app that Total Commander supports root functions. It has no effect if your device is not rooted. Root functions allow Total Commander to write to system folders like /system or /data. You will be warned before anything is written if the partition is write protected.

★★★★★ Pete Venuti · 4 Jul 2026 · v3.62best free file Manager of every one I've tried over the last 15 years. it's nice to know where you're actually putting your files instead of them being hidden in some obscure directory that some app thinks is good for you, with this app you have a choice! Also I found if you know exactly the name and path of a system file you're looking for, you might be able to at least view it even if it's in a system folder that you normally need root for. If you have root even more functions are available

★★★★☆ Deborah Kaye Pritchett · 17 Apr 2026 · v3.62There's a learning curve on this one. Navigation is unintuitive. I find another common file manager easier, but I think this one might be more powerful and complete for those who are serious about keeping files organized. You can definitely use it to find those obscure places where android likes to hide your files and downloads.

★★★★★ Michael Scott Rosas · 25 Nov 2025 · v3.24there Might be better file explorers out there for You. But for me, this one is perfect! ever since WinCommander this coder has always done it right. TC does what it should..! It gets in most all of the nooks & crannies of the Android OS (root or non root) The ONLY Problem i have with it is that it does NOT Work with Shizuku (open source) if it did that, it would might just be the perfect file manager...it sure (in Thery) ( Maybe I'm wrong on this ) but ( Maybe Not )
