In that case, Commander One will fill its promise and there's little competition against it. That is unless you deal with super large files on a daily basis and you want to be able to easily move and rename and delete and organize files on your phone like you can on your Mac. I don't believe there will be enough value there to justify the price, and either Android File Transfer ( if it works for your phone), or any WiFi file transfer solution, or even a cheap dual-USB drive will do the job and more.
However, if you're happy with Finder or your file browser of choice and you're only looking at purchasing the Commander One PRO pack for its Android MTP support, then I'd advise you to think carefully about it. If you were already in the market for a powerful dual-pane file browser on Mac and Commander One hits the sweet spot for you while also providing compatibility with your Android phone, then it's easy to say that the $29.99 price tag will be worth it for you. Some of this might be due to MTP peculiarities so check these conditions out before you blame either Commander One or AFT.Īside from that, the two main things I didn't like about Commander One were its inability to preview / show thumbnails of files on my phone and the quirky deselection method. Switching my Pixel 2 XL to charging then back to MTP fixed that, and I've found Commander One to be more reliable than AFT but still, I wouldn't say this solves all of AFT's connectivity problems. Second is that your phone might not be properly detected, it's infrequent but it happened once or twice, or it may not show up if you close Commander One and reopen it. It's a minor inconvenience, but you'll have to launch it manually.
First is that try as I might, I don't think Commander One can open automatically when you connect your phone over MTP, unlike Android File Transfer. From search to conditional selection to the ability to open a file without transferring it first to all the various views and options, there's really no fair way to compare it against the barebones drag/delete functionality of Android File Transfer.īut there are still a few hiccups worth thinking about.
As is clear from the rundown, Commander One gives you complete browsing and editing capabilities on your Android phone's storage, as if it was a folder on your computer.
