About this app

FileXplorer is a complete yet simple file manager for Android, with remote connections and a built-in SSH terminal. Fast, ad-free, and tracker-free: your data stays on your device.

📁 FILE MANAGEMENT
• Browse internal storage, SD card, and USB drives.
• Copy, move, rename, delete, and share.
• List, detailed list, or grid view, sorted by name, size, date, or type.
• Dual-pane mode to copy and move between two folders.
• Compress to ZIP and extract ZIP and RAR archives.
• Recursive search inside any folder.
• Optional recycle bin: deleted files can be restored until you empty it.
• Starred folders in the side drawer for quick access.
• Launcher shortcuts (long-press the app icon) to Downloads, Connections, and Settings.
• Built-in image, video, audio, and text viewers.

☁️ REMOTE CONNECTIONS
• SMB / CIFS, SFTP, FTP and FTPS, WebDAV (HTTP and HTTPS).
• For SMB you can browse all of a server's shared folders without knowing their names.
• Add cloud folders (Google Drive) and USB drives through Android's system picker.
• Works well with your NAS (Synology and others) over SMB or WebDAV.

🖥️ SSH TERMINAL
• Full terminal emulator over SSH.
• Switch between the terminal and the file explorer without losing your session.
• Pinch-to-zoom or tap A- / A+ to set the text size; the app remembers it.
• Special keys (Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, arrows).

📝 BUILT-IN EDITOR
• Text, HTML, and Markdown editor with preview.
• Line wrap and adjustable font size.

⭐ FILEXPLORER PRO
Everything above is free and stays free. FileXplorer Pro is a single one-time purchase, with no subscription. It unlocks every Pro feature, including those added in future versions:
• Eight themes: Skull, Fox, Alchemist, Anonymous, Owl, Galaxy, Vigilante, and Hero, each with its own color palette and emblem, carved into a stone slab behind the file list (dimmed behind the terminal).
• Custom background: any picture of your own behind the file list, with a strength slider.
• Several SSH sessions per server: open a second or third shell on the same server and switch between them from a dropdown in the terminal title. All of them stay alive while you browse files.
• Saved terminal commands: built-in System, Docker, and Docker Compose categories, plus ""My commands"" that you add yourself. Insert or run a saved command with one tap.
• Share over Wi-Fi: your phone becomes a WebDAV server on your local network, protected by username and password, read-only by default, with a configurable port. Copy the address with one tap and open your phone's storage from Windows File Explorer, macOS Finder, or any WebDAV client.
• Your servers inside the Android file picker: when another app (WhatsApp, email, a browser) asks for a file to attach, your SMB, SFTP, FTP, and WebDAV connections appear as locations, so you can attach a file from your NAS or server without copying it first (read-only).

🔒 PRIVACY
• No data collected. No ads, no analytics.
• Your connection passwords are stored encrypted on the device (Android Keystore).
• The app only communicates with the servers you configure.

FileXplorer brings together your everyday file manager and the tools you need to manage servers and NAS devices in a single app. The app is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Italian, and follows your phone's language. Give it a try.

What’s new

What's new
• Open ZIP files like folders: step inside, look around and copy files out.
• Copying inside one server no longer goes through your phone (SMB, WebDAV, SFTP): a big folder finishes in seconds.
• SSH key login and server identity checking.
• Optional recycle bin, bookmarks and in-app help.
• Install APKs, and open or save files from other apps.
• Wildcard search: *.mp3

Fixed
• WebDAV over plain HTTP now connects.
• SSH sessions survive switching apps.
