For organizing files, various managers have long been invented that organize them and help prevent the internal memory from turning into a trash can. As high-speed mobile internet spread rapidly, one type of software that was previously only found on computers came to phones.
These are download managers that help organize the process of downloading files from the Internet in the most convenient way. We will tell about the best of them further.
Download Manager by Magdalm
An excellent program to manage and organize your downloads on your phone. There are several additional features such as downloading entire folders from FTP servers while preserving the entire internal directory structure.
There are two tabs here – 'Download folder' and 'Downloads', which are responsible for the two most frequently used functions of the program. The first has a convenient directory and file viewer with the ability to create new folders.
The second tab has a button for adding a link to start downloading and displays all active downloads with the ability to manage them.
If the site supports resume from its servers, if the connection is broken, you can pause a certain file, and after the connection is restored, continue from the same place.
The application's settings are quite sparse, but they are enough to control the bootloader.
Here you can set the notification behavior, change the path to downloaded files, and customize the behavior of xrefs. They can be opened both in a third-party browser and in an internal one. The folders available for storing downloaded files can be located both in the internal memory of the device, and in the external – SD-card or flash drive connected via OTG.
Benefits:
- Stable work – the application is not unloaded from RAM due to a rather high priority in the scheduler Android.
- Ease of customization.
- Flexibility in working with files.
- Ability to save the tree of subdirectories when uploading.
Disadvantages:
- Machine Russification, menus and settings are not fully translated.
