Moto E is simple to use. But there is one missed app in Moto E: a native file manager. This happens to Moto G and Moto X as well.
So, you have two ways to manage files on Moto E:
- Connecting your Moto E to a PC with a USB cable so that you can manage files on Moto E from your PC
- Using a third-party file manager app to manage files on Moto E.
This guide will show you how to use one of the best free file manager app, ES File Explorer File Manager, to manage files on Moto E.
Why ES File Explorer File Manager?
ES File Explorer File Manager is probably the best (arguable) third-party file manager for Android. It is a full featured file explorer and manager. Actually, the app has so many features and functions that very few users use all features.
Not just managing files on Moto E, ES File Explorer File Manager can also work as cloud storage client (compatible with Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Box.net, Sugarsync, Yandex, Amazon S3, Ubuntu One and more), a FTP client, and a LAN Samba client.
Although packed with so many features, the app is very simple to use for new users.
Equally important, there are no ads for this free app.
How to install ES File Explorer File Manager on Moto E?
You ca get ES File Explorer File Manager for free from Play store.
In your Moto E home screen, tap Play Store icon. In Play Store app, tap the search icon to search for ES File Explorer, as shown below. Then tap the ES File Explorer File Manager.
Now you are in the detailed info page for the app. Tap “Install” to install this app.
Of course, before this app (ES File Explorer File Manager) is installed in your Moto E, you are alerted for the permissions this app requests.
You can review the permission for this app. If you feel uncomfortable with the permissions, you can choose not to install it. For apps with good reputation, like, ES File Explorer, you don’r worry about the permissions. But for some unknown apps, or apps with poor rating, you’d be careful.
Anyway, you need tap “accept” to proceed to the installation.
Once the installation is finished, you can find out the options in the app detailed info page is “Open” or “Uninstall” .
By default, once you install a new app in Moto E from the Play Store, the app (actually a shortcut) will be added to Moto E home screen. Of course, you can turn off this feature in Play store settings.
You can quickly launch the app from home screen without checking the app drawer.
How to configure ES File Explorer File Manager on Moto E?
If you open ES File Explorer File Manager the first time, after showing some tutorials, the app will start with your internal storage as the home directory.
Also, there are default bluetooth share path, and default download directory in ES File Explorer File Manager.
You can customize all these default directories.
How to configure home directory on Moto E?
Normally, after you insert a SD card to your Moto E, you want to manage files in both internal storage and the SD card.
Although it is possible to manually navigate around the Moto E file system, a good default home directory can make file managing faster.
Step 1: Start the ES File Explorer File Manager by tapping the icon in home screen.
Step 3. Tap Directory settings, then tap Home directory as shown below.
Tap OK to set current folder as the default home directory.
Next time , when you start ES File Explorer File Manager, it will start with /Storage folder so that you can quickly access both internal storage and external SD card.
Please note, in Moto E, the sdcard or sdcard0 means the internal storage. Your external microSD card is always named as sdcard1.
How to manage files on Moto E with ES File Explorer File Manager?
It is very simple and intuitive to manage file on Moto E with ES File Explorer File Manager.
To copy/move/delete a file, tap and hold the file. The file will be selected and the app enters into selection mode. You can tap any other files to make the selection.
Once you select all files, you can use the traditional copy, cut, delete, and rename buttons in the bottom.
Alternatively, you can tap the more button to get more functions, including sharing, sending, compressing…. This usually works faster. For example, you can choose Copy to then select the folders. This is faster than tapping copy button, then navigating to the destination folder.
Do you have any questions on managing files on Moto E?

bibs says
After i downloaded ES file manager my in built ringtones are gone …. they are not there any more… the only thig i see are the ones which i had copied from my PC… pls rply …
simon says
First, the pre-installed ringtones cannot be deleted (unless you root your Moto E).
When you try to setup ringtone, it directs you to individual files. This is very likely due to your choice of “Always” when you have the options of “ES File Explorer” and “Media Storage”. You should have chosen just once.
You can reset this by going to Settings–apps. Find and tap ES File Explorer, tap clear defaults.

You can manually move the files to SD card. Whether an app can write to SD card automatically is decided by app developer, not the phone or user.

bk says
if i want that that my default drive is SD Card and my photo, music, anyone store directly in sd card then what i do for it and there is needed to create extra folder in sd card. Please suggest me that which folder need to created with what name.
simon says
For camera, you can set the storage location as phone or SD card inside the camera app.(flick from left side of the screen inside camera app). Once you choose SD card, Moto E will create a suitable folder for it automatically. You cannot change the folder name or location in SD card. So, you only need set it up.
For music, you can put it anywhere in the SD card. All music files will be indexed and available in the Play music.
Anyway, ES file explorer is for you to manage files. It has no permissions to manage other apps. For any third-party apps, they may have they own default location settings.

Sir,
Please help me to find how to move all the media files(including mp3,mp4 etc) to external SD card. Also how to set the external SD card the default receiving folder?
simon says
In es file manager, you can move the media files just like what you do on a pc.
You can go to settings – storage – move media files.
The receiving location is decided by individual apps. Some allow you to change it, most don’t.

Mohit says
I have moved all mp3 files from internal to SD Card through ES. But now the songs are not showing in Play Music. Why ?
simon says
If you move them through ES file explorer, the system does not scan it. You should use one of the two methods: 1). Settings–storage–move media; 2) move to PC, then from PC, move them to SD card.
For your case, you can try to reboot the phone to see whether the files are scanned. If not, move them to PC, then move to Moto E.

When 4.4.3 will release in India for official update on Moto E ?

For us version, 4.4.3 update was available for some time. For India version, it should be available in Q3 as I know.
The media scanner now works in a different way. It will not scan files that are exchanged through 3rd party apps.

simon says
Most apps cannot directly be installed to SD card. You need manually move them.
You may follow this guide to move all possible apps to the SD card: http://motoeguide.com/moto-e-guides/move-apps-sd-card-moto-e/
After moving the apps, clear the app cache (settings–storage–cached data). Then try to install again. If there are still not enough space, you have to remove apps…..

HOW TO INSTAL APP IN MOTO E ( NOT DISPLAY IN MOBIL SCREEN)
simon says
There are two screens, home screen and app drawer.
For home screen, you can delete apps on it. You can also change settings in play store app so that new apps are not added to home screen.
For app drawer, the Google launcher doesn’t support hiding apps. You have to use third party launcher of you really need to hide apps.

You can also tap the the Home button (the top row, first from left, small ones). It will shows your storage usage. It should list 0 and sdcard1. Tap sdcard1 also brings you to the external sd card.

very likely, the video is streamed (for example, YouTube), and therefore you are not allowed to download.
Please check individual site whether they offer download link,
There are some apps to download videos. You may try some of them.

Well, I don’t know why my comments not get posted here but I want to know is there any way to restore deleted MP3 files from micro SD card without using PC. Any app for moto E ?
simon says
Normally, once you delete the file, you cannot restore it. This is different from Windows: you don’t have a recycle bin.
Of course, if the file is extremely important, you may seek professional services. They usually charge a lot and they NEVER guarantee they can get your files.
There are some apps to recover the deleted files. But I would not recommend any of them because it may cause other data loss.

Rahul says
I have set the bluetooth share path as /storage/sdcard1/Bluetooth after that also if i am getting any song or pics via bluetooth, it is saving in /storage/emulated/0/bluetooth folder. Why is it happing? Please advice and provide solution so that bluetooth share files can save diretly into /storage/sdcard1/Bluetooth.
Also, The same thing is happing on downloading any songs or pics.
simon says
The path settings is only for ES File explorer. ES File explorer can connect to other device via Bluetooth.
If you receive files directly from Bluetooth, the location is managed by the system. ES File explorer does NOT change your system settings.
Similarly, the download location is only for ES Download Manager. Some apps, for example, Chrome, have own default locations and ES File explorer cannot modify it.

Bluetooth share pics i have moved in Sd card via ES file explorer then i have seen that in phone storage that its taking internal memory as well and sdcard. Then i have deleted those pics from gallery then it has been deleted from sdcard also. why is it so?
simon says
If you copy the files to other folder, then these files are independent. In the gallery app, the images will be shown in two different albums (because they are in different folders). If you delete one from a album, the other one should not be affected.
You may delete the wrong one. Also, if you moved, the file should not longer exist.
Anyway, you can try again: copy the file to another folder, then delete the original one. The copied one should not be affected.

Such settings depend on the app. Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not provide such an option. You probably have no choice, but to manually move the media files.

Hi Simon,
Any image files whichis shared by bluetooth or what Apps, store in sdcard0 (i.e. Internal Memory).If we move these images from sdcardo to sdcard1 using ES File Explorer then they stored in sdcard1. Now it should consume external memory space but if i am navigating as Setting->Storage->Looking for pictures,videos then still its displaying 1.03MB for same. Why is it so? Internal memory should be free after moving pictures from /sdcard0 to /sdcard1.
simon says
Did you check whether the file is actually there? If the file is not there, it will not use the storage.
The settings is using cached data. It may not update in real time.

SD card is sdcard1 in Moto E. Use es file explorer to navigate to the location to manage your files.

Jeff says
I moved all my downloaded music from my tablet onto my External SD Card. Now I can access it on es file explorer rather easily but I can only play one song.. I cant skip from song to song without having to go back and find another one.. How do I bypass this? Should I just move all my music back onto my device?
simon says
Install a music player, e.g., MX player (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en). It will scan your music and play

Jeff says
I have MX Player.. When I go and open it , it only wants to play videos and I dont see an option for music
simon says
It can play both audio and videos. Open the app, tap the menu key (3 vertical dots), tap settings, tap audio, tap audio player (to make it checked). Now return and refresh the folders. All music and videos should be there .
VLC for Android is also good and may be simpler to use.

How do i share apps downladed from playstore on my moto e to any other phone?
simon says
You cannot share them. Otherwise, the installation of paid apps will be of control.
It’s possible to backup apps, then reinstall then in another device. You may try Helium. It’s free on play store. Please follow the inductions of the app and you have to install Motorola USB driver.

i am unable to connect to internet in my moto e, i hav done settings>more>mobile networks>data enabled.

pls tell me what can be the problem. whether is signal problem or handset problem……………
thank you….
some times it shows H , but very rarely….then disappears
simon says
First, WiFi is used only when the phone is connected to a wireless router.
For mobile data, H means HSPA, which is faster than normal 3G. When you see H, you should have be able to connect to internet. Once it disappears, you should see other symbols because the connection should fail over to 3G or 2G.
Can you check your network type settings under mobile networks? You may change it to auto.

If you still believe it is caused by ES File explorer, you can always uninstall it. But I don’t think so.

I need these databases so that when ever i want to reboot i will copy them to my pc and reboot my phone so that i wil be able to save the previous conversations.
How to copy the files from phone to PC ?
Please help me.
simon says
Rebooting the phone doesn’t delete the messages.
The messages are encrypted. You should not copy them directly.
You should backup messages in WhatsApp. Open WhatsApp, tap menu key – settings – chat settings – backup conversations. Then you can find the backup messages on backup folder under WhatsApp folder in the internal storage.
The backup file is also encrypted and it can only be restored on phones with identical phone number.

ES file explorer can not act as download manager. To download files from internet, you still have to go through the web browser, which is hooked to system download manager or its own download manager.

Do reply asap.

I don’t think there is an easy way to do it. You may some check with some professionals on such issues. You may check with the app developer on this issue.
If it is easy to hack or bypass, then it loses the points of encryption.

Now my phone’s available internal storage is 1 Gb and available memory card storage is 11gb. The problem is, if i am trying to receive files more than 1 gb, it is showing that “not enough memory”. i was surprised with this “not enough memory”, because i am having memory card with 11gb avaliable. why it is happening??? Plz help me…
simon says
It depends on how you receive the file. Bluetooth or downloading through system download only uses the internal storage. Some apps, e.g.,WhatsApp, can only download files to internal storage.

I purchased moto e 1st gen on 13th of this month, through flipkart. In this mobile on selecting the ES3 file expr (after installing it, on Step 2) there is no globe icon, instead three smal horizodal line icon only is shown while proceeding to get fast access option. Anyhow after tapping that three lines icon , fast access menu window is shown but all the 5 options from Favorite to Tools are shown as selected ( instead of their arrows in the right side) and the settings icon at the bottom looks like a gear icon and not as shown in Step 2. Also at step 4 in the Home Directory window there is no up arrow icon in the right side but a + sign and AZ letters are there. And towards the left , is an arrow pointing to left side and /sd card option. Therefore I could not proceed accordingly. But after returning to home screen and selecting the ES explr, the window with all the normal folders is opened. When I siwpe right the folder screen a home page screen is shown up with the int. storage option and below that, the micro sd card storage option. On selecting the external memory card storage, it shows the contents and opens further correctly. In the same way the internal storage option also shows the contents and opens well. Also if the bottom status bar is swiped towards right , the fast access menu window is shown. Why this type of options are present and differs from the method as shown in the relevant steps. Is it ok with the current settings in my phone? What I should do?
simon says
The app always changes the interface. But the core functions are still same.
After tapping the 3 vertical lines (navigation button), there should be a Settings button (together with Exit, theme in the bottom). You should be able to tap it to enter settings.

I have free memory in external device .but I cudnt download any apps…its showing no storage ..all apps are in SD card very few in internal which I can’t move frm phone..pls help
simon says
Some apps must be in internal storage.
Some apps (decided by the app developer) can be moved to SD card. But only part of the app files can be moved to SD card.
All apps must be installed into internal storage first.
You can move media files to SD card in Settings–Storage–move media. You can also use ES file Explorer to manually move some files to SD card.
You can also uninstall un-used apps to save storage.

My ES File Explorer did not have a ^ where you indicated. In any event, I have a 16 Gb external micro SD card, but I cannot seem to get my photos, mp3, etc to save in that location. The computer saves to the SDcard0 which is the internal SD card. I bought the 16 Gb micro SD card for the explicit purpose of adding photos that I knew would exceed soon enough the 2 Gb internal storage Sdcard0. I want to save my photos to the 16 Gb micro SD card1–the external SD card. How can I do this, or why won’t the phone do this automatically?
simon says
In camera app, you can set saving location.
For existing photos, you can go to Settings–Storage –Move media.

Steven Torrey says
Upon further examination–it turns out I have been saving photos to the SDcard1–the external 16 Gb micro SD card; the information from the phone settings and the ES File Explorer app and the airdroid app seemed to give contradictory information. But looking closer through the ES File Explorer and the airdroid app confirmed that I was indeed saving photos to the external SDcard1. Many thanks.

Please suggest me apart from the screen lock security is there any app to prevent the opening of apps, files, folders or changing the settings unknowingly or intentionally by the children or friends? Or is there any way in the Moto e phone (kitkat 4.4.4 os ) or through the Es file explr app to set password protections ? please explain in detail.
simon says
Guest mode and multi-user mode are available only in Lollipop 5.0/5.1 for phones (for tablet, it has been available since Jelly Bean 4.3). You may wait for the update.
If the phone is mainly used by kids, you can install Screen Time to control what can be accessed.

Devon Lee says
Hi need help immediately… i downloaded this ES file manager and now all my pics are stuck in there… how do i get them back on to my phones storage so i can uninstall this app…
simon says
Not sure about your question.
ES File explorer is just a file manager. The photos are still saved in the phone even you move the files. The pics cannot not be stuck there.
Can you view the pics in gallery app?

hi ! .. actually i updated my moto e to newer android version (362mb) and my internal storage have less space now , maybe its due to the setup i downloaded and i want to delete that setup so that some space is saved but i can’t find the setup zip file on manager .. any idea where zip files are saved in es file manager ? because i couldn’t locate it
simon says
The files should be removed after its unzipped and applied. It is only temporally in the partition you can access. Aftet the update, the leftovers should be cleaned.
You may check the detailed storage usage in settings – storage.
