Ghost Commander vs Zimly S3 Backup

Dual panel file manager, like Norton Commander, Midnight Commander or Total Commander. Notable features: * Ability to copy and move files between its two panels * Create or extract (unzip) ZIP archives * Transfer files via FTP/SFTP/SMB * Full-featured app manager able to access extra info and share apks Requires root: No, but if provided you can remount filesystems and mess around with system files.
