Specifications

X-plore File Manager is an amazing application with many functions to offer for Android, used by millions of users. You can use it to connect to your cloud servers and manage local files on device. This application allows you to connect to servers over FTP or SSH.

X-plore File Manager also lets watch photos, listen to music, play video and movies and much more.

X-plore is a dual-pane explorer, which means that there are two folders shown at same time, and common operation such as copying files are done from one pane to another. Traditional copy/paste system is also available.

And X-plore shows folder hierarchy in a tree view. This offers clear orientation on where in file system you currently are, and fast switching to other location. Currently selected folder and files are highlighted, while other folders/files have slightly darker background.

You can use X-plore File Manager for free. But it takes enormous time and effort to make app that works properly and has useful functions, so some advanced functions require payment.

Main operations are related to managing files and folders – viewing, copying, moving, deleting, compressing to Zip, extracting, renaming, sharing, and more.

Main interaction is done by touch screen, clicking on folders or files to open files, or long-click to open context menu which contains options which can be done on particular clicked item, or multiple selected items.

Multi-selection allows to do operation on more files at once. Files can be selected by clicking check box. It is also possible to select all files in a folder, or clear selection, by clicking parent folder’s check box.

Opening file may mean to use one of built-in viewer for most popular file types: images, audio, video and text. Or you may configure X-plore to use system application for opening files, in which case system-predefined application that can open particular file is launched. If there are more such applications, Android shows dialog allowing to choose application for opening the file. X-plore indicates that multiple applications may open the file by displaying small question mark on file’s icon. When this is shown, you may expect system dialog for picking application to open the file.

Sometimes one application becomes default application for particular file type (for example to listen to mp3). This is Android system feature. However, it may be confusing for user to remove this application to handle opening of given file type. Here X-plore helps by offering menu option to clear the default application handling.
