It seems like a functionally poor file manager. The only bonus is that
it knows how to "import" into a virtual storage area, or see limited
parts of your Windows disk (the "Windows" folder is empty when using
other file manager apps). Since you said that imported files seem to be
stored in "sdcard/DCIM/SharedFolder", you can also use any other file
manager to get at them.

See what I attached. I also think that when I first tried it ,that save
icon wasn't there. Then I tried importing an image file (.png) and
clicked on it to view it. Then I noticed a save icon in the photo
viewer. Then I went back to look at "imported" and it had a save icon,
and I felt like maybe I had been blind the first time. But maybe it
wasn't there the first time...

It's there permanently now, even after I deleted files from it.

Files only, I think.
But once you have imported or "saved" them onto the Android disk, you
can move and delete folders with any other file manager app (Total
Commander, for example, one of the most functionally complete, but also
a little complex).

Total commander or another file manager app.
