Components:
The simple file manager is an app on android devices which is used to access the storage area of the devices. used to browse files and edit them on devices, its easy to use as it could serve its purposes on android devices that do not have in built file manager e.g. HTC phones.
Proposal
Considering that the app is used to access files, i suggest that "view" option is added among the list of app usage options because the folders and files on the device are viewed in a list form only and to most users, its discouraging. its more convenient that the user could be able to switch between views of their choice to suit their style of use. Also, the app tends to have a classic nature, competing and offering better option of usage to its users.

Benefits
it would allow different views to be used to display and access the files on the device respectively by the app. It would allow files to be viewed in different ways, giving the users their own choice of accessing the files on their devices . It would also enhance the user-app friendly nature. I would be glad to see this option or feature added to this app.
