Explorer
About this app
Explorer is a file manager for Android that also reaches into your servers and other devices. Browse, preview, edit and move files on your phone, on SSH, FTP/FTPS, SMB and WebDAV servers, and on other Android devices, all from one app.
Files
- Browse folders in list or grid view, with previews of text and code, Markdown, images, video, audio, PDF, Word, CSV, hex and archives
- Zip, tar (gz, bz2, xz), 7z and gz open like folders; password-protected zip and 7z are supported
- Copy, move, rename, compress and extract, with a background transfer queue that shows progress in bytes and can be cancelled
- Trash for safe deleting; free up space by finding large files, duplicates, old downloads, installer files, similar photos and blurry photos
- Edit files in Android/data over the phone's own Wireless debugging connection
Servers and devices
- SSH with password or key login (generate or import Ed25519/RSA keys, install a key on a server)
- FTP, FTPS, SMB and WebDAV, read-only, with several addresses per server and the fastest chosen first
- Stream videos and audio folders straight from a server, with seeking
- Control another Android device from your screen over Wireless debugging, with nothing installed on it
Terminal
- Built-in SSH terminal with several sessions per server, text selection and copy, tappable links and an extra-keys bar
Editors and tools
- Text editor with code coloring for about 35 languages
- Picture editor and video editor (saves in the background with a notification)
- Audio player with background playback, lock screen controls, a folder queue and a mini player
- Save text, Markdown, web pages, CSV and Word files as PDF
Nothing is sent anywhere without your consent; error reports are shown to you in full before you choose to send them.
What's new in v1.1.0
1.1.0
- Tree view for folders. The layout button now cycles list, grid and tree. In the tree, tap a folder (or its arrow) to open it in place without leaving the current folder; the contents are read on first open.
- Open as root. Select a folder in the tree and tap the button at the end of its row to go into it: it becomes the tree's root and the path follows.
- Errors in the tree. A folder that can't be read shows the reason under it, with a reload button.
- Works in server and device folders as well.
- Compact rows: smaller icons and body-size text in the tree.
- Developer builds now install as
dev.singularity_universe.explorerwith a DEV badge on the icon, so they no longer replace the release app.
