Community reviews for OI File Manager

This program has similar features to dropbox. Teachers can drop assignments into individual folders for students to retrieve and students can send documents back to the teacher. This app is strictly a no-frills- down-to-business app and might be difficult for someone who isn't experienced with virtual organization. The biggest hindrance is that it only works on Android operating system and is not available anywhere else. Students who do not have android devices would not be able to access and share anything. This is not a tool ideal for a whole classroom for this reason. Those with droid devices might find it useful because it does take all the files on your phone and place them in folders as well. Everything is organized neatly on your device.

This product was time consuming and slightly difficult for most students to use. None of the participating students were familiar with file managers. Initial knowledge took time as students needed to familiarize themselves with setup, navigation and compressing files. After some use and practice, it became easier for students. Multiple file sharing facilitated access and speed. Compression allowed large items to be shared quickly.
