ZenUI Asus File Manager is the alternative to Share Link for owners of Android from version 7 and up.

For those who like me have been upgraded by Android Samsung to version 7, you will notice that the Share Link application is no longer usable by showing a nice message of the kind:

“Share Link does not support Android N or later, as it may cause unexpected errors when used to transfer files”.

The message goes on to suggest to download ZenLink and indicating a link to the download.

Too bad that the link leads to a nonexistent page and searching for the network this application seems to be no longer available for download.

Never mind, making more research i found that the Asus has created a series of applications called ZenUI among which the file manager that i am about to describe.

 

ZenUI Asus File Manager – Installation

Installing ZenUI Asus File Manager is extremely simple.

Download the app from the Google Play Store from the following link:

The application will be installed and ready to use without any special configuration steps.

Unlike other management applications and file transfers, Asus File Manager does not require any other applications installed on your PC.

The files will be downloaded directly to your desktop or if you prefer, just use a simple browser to browse the files on your Android device.

Or choose one of the following:

  • Archive Analysis.
  • Trash can. It provides a useful tool to avoid direct file deletion as it happens on desktop systems
  • PC File Transfer.
  • Hidden archive.

Let’s see in detail these, and more, features.

From this section, we can also search for large-sized files, locate them and eventually decide whether to move them to a secondary memory or delete them.

 

ZenUI Asus File Manager – PC File Transfer

It is, in my opinion, the most useful feature of Asus File Manager.

To connect the Android device to the PC is not necessary any physical connection with a USB cable, nor other applications installed on the desktop.

For the connection, it is sufficient that the device is in the same network as the PC from which you want to connect.

Just launched, the app will display a screen indicating the address to use to access the contents of your device from your PC.

ZenUI Asus File Manager – Conclusions

Asus File Manager is an excellent application for the management and file transfer.

Its strength lies in the simplicity and not having the obligation of having to download additional applications to transfer the files to your desktop PC.

Maybe compared to other products currently available, such as ShareIt that I mentioned in this article:

ShareIt – Share and Back Up Various Devices – Android IOS Windows MAC WinPhone

it has less functionality, which makes it lose some points, but has all that it needs to a file manager.

So if you are not looking for an application that in addition to being a file manager, it has other advanced file sharing capabilities, Asus File Manager will satisfy you 100%.
