I tried on my phone and tablet through the Play Store. There are many similarly-named apps, but no ES File Explorer. What happened to it ?
ES File Explorer gone ?
Google probably removed it
QuickPic is back on Google Play Store while ES File Explorer disappears
Great alternative: [APP][2.0+] MiXplorer v6.x Released (fully-featured file manager)

How do we know that it is a safe app ?
Should we remove it from phone ? Is it just breaking AdMob terms ? Thanks.
Its on xda, which should have better curation than play store.
If you don't trust any app, you should remove it.

It is actually available on play store too for a price of Rs.380 for people who want to support the developer as it is quite popular on xda forums but donation is only available via bitcoin which many can't do.

Ditched it long back. Became too heavy and bloatware.
Using FX explorer since then and no turning back
Does it have any method to give and take files from PC ?
I have removed ES File explorer long time ago. It didn't took me long to figure that it's an app that is spreading cancer. The amount of bloat that the app started to come with, it was a no brainer conclusion.
I moved to Solid File Explorer. It's a 14 day trial. But the pro version comes to around Rs 10 in sales (Rupees Ten). Also works on Android TV.

Have you guys used Solid Explorer? I personally use the pro version of it and it works good enough. If you have root, you can also browse your root FS plus it has support for various cloud storage providers and FTP/SFTP protocol support for remote file storage. You can also transfer data from your phone to any device by hosting a FTP server on your phone from Solid Explorer.
Yes, Solid Explorer is the most used by Rooting community, where they know what file they are changing for customization & tweak. Not for Naive users though.
All the features I've mentioned are good for non-root users as well.
Yes it has and the same features are also present in other File Explorers. Only thing is to be cautious while using Solid in system partition because it gives more privilege to users in system r/w access as compared to other explorers.
FX File Explorer for me.. using it for 2-3 months..
Only problem I found till now that, I can't get more options for sharing .apk file.. sharing apk from bluetooth or any other apps..

I had Solid Explorer (with license) and froze it long time back 
Came to know about that while switching over to Havoc OS 3.0 last night.
Now using it with MiXplorer.

I tried the file sharing in FX Explorer today.
You just have to click the Web Access icon on FX explorer and connect to same WiFi network.
And then open your computer and type the IP address given in FX and voila you are connected with your phone storage on Browser.
Short & Simple
If you are on same network you can use SMB feature..
In MiXplorer you get more speed compare to FX,
I use both.
For large files I use MiX for smaller I use FX (because of UI)

I use Files by Google & it is quite good for transferring between mobiles, have you tried it.
Its not that good compared to MiXplorer IMO. I create ftp server and hotspot (if required) and don't need to turn GPS/bluetooth on to share files. This is another app I use to quick share stuff between my own devices:

I know it is not as good but for a typical person not knowing anything other than app install from playstore(useful if other device belongs to such person), it is fine(mixplorer playstore version is not free).
Using xplore since s60 days. No ads, just donation options as IAP.

does Xplorer still have that Bluetooth explore feature for copying files from other devices?
It was great feature on symbian devices. I miss those n-gage games too..
X-plore is also good from LCG
Nah man for sending APK you have to use something else like Xender.

Apk are easily available online. so sending is not preferred over wifi now.
No.. you can send apks via bluetooth by renaming extension to something else like txt mp3 mkv etc.
On symbian devices there was no restriction after installing xplore, you can simply copy whole folder from other bluetooth connected mobile internal storage. (I used to copy those .jar games).
Exactly, now no one share apps and music and docs unless it's big size or more in quantity. For that you need to have proper file sharing apps.
For apps you can share play Store links, you can stream music, documents can be shared via messenger apps (Telegram, WhatsApp), you can share media upto 1.5gb using Telegram X.
Most pirated content already available on Telegram.
What else you need?
