About this app

Solid Explorer is a file management app inspired by the old school file commander applications. It will help you:
🗄️ Easily manage files in dual pane layout
🔐 Protect files with strong encryption
🖥️ Manage files on your cloud storage or NAS
☁️ Backup apps and files to any desired destination


Explore your device
Solid Explorer lets you navigate to files stored on your device and automatically organizes them into collections. You can view, delete, move, rename or share any files. It also allows you to quickly find the files you need through indexed search with filters.


Keep your files safe
Solid Explorer can protect selected files with strong AES encryption and put them in a secure folder, which contents are unreadable for other apps. The file manager will ask for password or fingerprint confirmation when you browse the folder. Even if you uninstall Solid Explorer, the files stay on your device and are still protected.


Analyze Storage
Although this file manager doesn’t feature a dedicated storage analyzer, you can find out which files take up most of space by going to folder properties of internal storage or SD card. You will find the information about the percentage of space each folder takes and the list of biggest files. You can also use search with a file size filter.


Organize remote files
Solid Explorer supports major network protocols and cloud providers to let you organize multiple remote file locations in one place. You can easily transfer files between cloud locations/servers just by dragging them from one panel to another.

Ratings and reviews

This is a nice all in one file manager, and it looks great. However there are a couple bugs: when you delete pictures from a folder the remaining pictures lose thumbnails, and when you paste files into a folder they don't appear there until refresh. Please refresh the folder contents when a file operation in it finishes.

It's a very good file explorer. I do have an issue with the image viewer. If the image is a higher resolution than your phone the image is scaled down which is okay, but if you pinch to zoom then the scaled down image is enlarged instead of the original image so if the picture has any sort of text it is completely illegible.

Very good, but please add these features where, when you put pendrive or hardisk or SD card in, make it this way that it doesn't show all the videos of photos together, separate the external photos and videos so you can still open the video or photos part of the app but still be able to see the internal and external. (It sometimes glitches like it reloads again and again and again so when you select something if deselects itself and refreshes which causes problems so please look into this)
