Experience a seamless and privacy-focused file management experience with FX File Explorer, designed to offer you a clutter-free and efficient way to handle your files. With its sleek Material Design UI, FX File Explorer not only looks good but also enhances your ability to transfer files between your devices and computers effortlessly.
Key features include support for SMBv2, enabling robust network file access. The innovative "FX Connect" feature lets you transfer files directly between phones using Wi-Fi Direct, and with NFC support, you can initiate transfers by simply touching the backs of two phones together. This functionality, however, requires the FX+ add-on. Additionally, "Web Access" allows you to manage and transfer files from your computer's web browser, with the ability to drag-and-drop entire folders or stream music playlists over Wi-Fi, also available with FX+.
FX File Explorer is crafted to mimic the ease of file and media management on your computer. The productivity-focused "Home Screen" provides direct access to your important folders, media, and cloud storage. With multiple window support and dual-view mode, you can effortlessly work with two windows simultaneously. The "Usage View" mode offers a detailed overview of folder sizes and content composition as you navigate through your files. Furthermore, FX supports a wide range of file archive formats for comprehensive file handling.
Your privacy is paramount with FX File Explorer, which proudly offers no advertisements and no tracking of user activity. Developed by NextApp, Inc., a US company established in 2002, all proprietary code is developed in-house, ensuring a secure and private user experience.
The optional FX+ Add-On module unlocks additional capabilities, including access to networked computers via FTP, SSH FTP, WebDAV, and Windows Networking (SMB1 and SMB2), and connectivity to cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, SugarSync, Box, SkyDrive, and OwnCloud. FX+ also enables you to manage installed applications, create and explore AES-256/AES-128 encrypted zip files, browse and organize audio content by artist, album, and playlist, and directly access photo and video folders. Plus, it offers an encrypted password keyring for secure access to your network and cloud locations.
FX File Explorer comes equipped with various in-built editing and viewing tools, such as a Text Editor with undo/redo history, cut/paste, search, and pinch-to-zoom; a Binary (Hex) Viewer; an Image Viewer; a Media Player with a pop-up Audio Player; and comprehensive archive management tools for Zip, Tar, GZip, Bzip2, 7zip, and RAR files. It also includes a Shell Script Executor for advanced users.
For users on Android 8.0 and above, please note the "approximate location" permission is now required due to Android's policies for apps supporting Wi-Fi Direct. Rest assured, FX does not query your location; this permission is only requested when using FX Connect on Android 8.0+ devices.
