Pros

Provides access to the hidden Android file manager that is otherwise difficult to find.
Allows editing of other apps' data files without root access if the app is compatible.
Works effectively on multiple devices and Android versions, including newer locked-down versions.
Simple and lightweight app that does exactly what it promises without unnecessary features.
Helpful for managing files and clearing unnecessary data.

Cons

Limited control over features since it relies on the native file manager’s capabilities.
Some users feel it should be a built-in feature of the Android OS rather than requiring a separate app.
Occasional bugs and settings reverting to defaults as mentioned in certain reviews.
Not every use case is addressed, such as integration with the share menu in other apps.

Great workaround for the newer locked down androids, was the only way to get access to the read only file system on device!, many thanks for your assistance!

To those of you complaining of missing features; this app is called "Files shortcut" for a reason, it opens the hidden inbuilt android file manager, the creator of files shortcut has no control over what features are available there, that is up to Google/Android Open Source Development team (the ones who make android OS)
