Does Pixel XL have a native file manager

[anon(8709382)]

Looking at getting a Pixel XL, want to know if it has a file manager already built in (like Samsung does). I don't like to use 3rd party if I don't have to. Also does it have a music player. Thanks for any answers or help.

It does.
1) option
2) storage
3) files

The problem is there is no shortcut. You'll have to do those three presses every time. As for music player they have Google Play Music built in, which I disable by the way. I use Poweramp.

the best file explorer in my experience is Solid Explorer. It's bloat free (unlike ES) and has a trial period, after that it's $2 but the price is worth it. I'd say it's worth it to try the trial if you don't like the built in one. I had the same issue coming from an LG phone and Solid has made it easier.

I use Phonograph as the music player. it's dead simple and aesthetically gorgeous. and, best of all, it's free!

however, as Billy Bob said, there are pre-installed versions of these. I don't prefer them though.
