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

App is good but several things are bothering me. The biggest issue for me is when you're moving files the left menu doesn't appear to be accessible so you can't get to your bookmarks, leaving you to navigate through folders to get to where you want. Minor issues are when viewing in gallery view the tiles sometimes aren't the same size and thumbnails don't display properly

The developer is updating the app, that's very appropriate. You can buy this app, it totally worth your money, it will be the end of searching a great File Explorer. // This app has a lot of things, and works great. I like that includes the option for .noname files, hide folders from other apps, other apps will not see it. You can also copy the path of the folders, create ftp connections, easily see which files are using a lot of space, the list of options is huge.

YOU NEED TO FIX THIS BS! Surprise! I paid for the unlock key on solid explorer MANY years ago, and I just went to open the app on my phone and Besides being locked out with no profile information, it's telling me I have to start a free 14-day trial. The instructions say to go get your unlock key out of the Play store but that app says it doesn't work with my phone. You guys need to reach out to me and fix this, I'm not paying twice for the same app especially when you guys didn't warn anyone
