The main idea behind the user interface is classic: copy and
move files from one panel to another. Simple.
Also to not overload the display with extra checkboxes file
selection is made as follows: each file row is divided by two
zones: tapping on the left you open files and folders tapping on
the right you select multiple items. If you are left handed that
could be swapped in the settings.
Ghost Commander supports FTP and SFTP servers and Windows
network shares as well as Google Drive BOX and Dropbox cloud
storage (plugin required) plus it can create/extract ZIP archives
and work with as it was a regular folder.
For advanced users this file manager also supports root (superuser)
mode which is essential to work with protected system files on a
