X-plore File Manager

Android OS is generally considered far more open than the iOS and yet there is no denying that there are multiple actions, options, and views that are restricted for the common user in the Android OS. One of the most common issues with the Android OS lies with browsing your phone’s internal memory and performing tasks to clean up or organize the memory as per your requirements. Some phones just don’t come with a built-in file manager while some Android OS versions offer a very weak file manager that doesn’t really allow you to perform multiple actions in a user-friendly manner. X-plore File Manager is the file manager app that can solve all these problems with its excellent functionalities for both normal and rooted phone users.

The file manager app has a plethora of file and memory management tools up its sleeve with segregation present between the features for ‘normal’ and ‘root’ users. If you are a normal user who doesn’t really want to access system level data of their Android, you don’t need to root your phone as the process is slightly risky and complicated. Even without rooting your phone, X-plore File Manager would offer you multiple tools to view and organize your data and ensure that you have total control over your phone’s storage.

The app has a very basic app layout with its dual pane view offering extreme flexibility for the users. There are four main options shown on the home screen – Internal storage, Root, App Manager and Show. The first three options come with a tree-structure menu where you can further explore the data within these options. The internal storage section shows you all the folders present on your device and you can further explore each folder by tapping on it. Root section is for users who have rooted their phones as they get to see hidden and system level folders as well. App Manager gives you the option of exploring system apps as well as installed apps. You should mostly concern yourself with installed apps though if you are an expert in Android OS, you can also take a look at the system apps. Lastly, the Show option asks you to select further tools you might want displayed on the home page. These tools are basically present in the right hand pane but can be brought to the center of the page if you want to use them regularly.

The file manager app has a variety of tools that you can use for data storage and data processing. These include WiFi sharing, Web Storage, FileSync, LAN, FTP and Vault. WiFi Sharing allows for sharing data with other phones if both are connected on the same WiFi network. Web Storage allows you to send your data to Google Drive, Drop Box or OneDrive etc. and you can then use FileSync to sync the data between your phone and server whenever needed. FTP and LAN are server based features where you can connect your phone to a server and then access files on those servers. Vault is the secure folder option that can be password protected with this option availed for secret or important files that you don’t want any normal user to access even if they can get hands on your unlocked phone.
