A new permission would be nice. But even if we get that I think other OEM's should follow HTC's example and provide their own file manager.<br />

A native file manager is exceptionally useful and prevents the situation from being intolerable, but it doesn't answer all issues. I can't rename files in MX Player Pro any more, for instance. I have to shell out to the File Explorer and do it. I've refrained from upgrading my tablet OS for that reason. Other apps have similar issues.<br />

Samsung has had a native file manager from and before the day KK was released. As I recall, when KK came out, HTC users were tearing their hair out. I'm glad HTC caught up. Or, so I understand it. <br/>
I can gladly say, as someone who just migrated from Samsung to HTC. I am immensely grateful that HTC came out with a file manager. It's not as reliable as Samsung My Files and personally a little too simplistic and limited for my liking. I prefer Astro Pro, at least that could do BT file transfers. Not to mention I can't tell you how many times HTC File Manager has told me that it can't move this file or that file. I've just thrown my hands up and decided to plug my phone into my laptop via USB and move files with my computer (Windows/LinuxMint), so much easier and has way more functionality than any file manager on Android, 3rd party or otherwise. But I have told HTC tech support how thankful I am that they did come out with a file manager.
