(the key feature).  Allows bookmarking internal memory or SD card paths, and LAN paths.  There are very few android apps capable of viewing and accessing files from a Microsoft Windows network share.  ES File Explorer can access files on a Windows share in a view only, local caching capacity.  Due to the advertising trackers and no pay upgrade option this app loses review points.review:  [[ES File Explorer]] is useful for navigation of the Android file system.  Allows connection to PC file shares on a LAN!
