I don't know what file manager app you're using, but I use Total Commander on all my Android devices:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander&hl=en

I also use it on Windows:

Works great!

I've used two other Android file managers — ASTRO and ES File Explorer:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en

Both work well, but I prefer Total Commander. As a disclaimer, I want to emphasize that I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned in this post and no financial interest in them whatsoever. I am simply a happy user/customer. Regards, Joe
