App Features

  • Multi-Tab Navigation
    Jump between folders or locations using simple, swipeable tabs. No more losing track of where you were—everything stays front and center, just a quick tap away.

  • Personalized Themes
    Choose between light and dark themes, or let Explorer match your home wallpaper. Find the look that suits your mood or the time of day.

  • Zip, Tar, and RAR Tools
    Packing and unpacking compressed files? Create or unpack ZIP, TAR, and RAR archives with ease—handy when you get a bunch of files sent your way.

  • Background Tasks
    Big file copy or move jobs can run in the background, so you’re free to keep using your device while they finish up.

  • Media Streaming
    No need to download everything—Explorer lets you stream audio and video directly from the cloud or your network storage straight into your favorite media player.

  • Custom Shortcuts & Bookmarks
    Pin your most-used folders right to your home screen, or bookmark those files you always need. Getting back to them is instant.

  • Built-in Tools
    Tinker under the hood with the built-in text editor or manage databases using the SQLite viewer—no extra apps required.

  • Flexible Sharing Options
    Send files via email, Bluetooth, or however you like. Explorer works with the “Open With” function too, so you can open files using any app you prefer.

  • Smart Search & Information
    Find any file or folder, fast. Get info like size, last modified date, or even the MD5 checksum right from the properties section.

  • Custom Icons
    Switch up your look with different icon sets, mixing a bit of personal style into your file browsing experience.

  • Multilingual Support
    No worries about language barriers—Explorer speaks English and a whole bunch more, from Spanish to Korean.
