Solid Explorer is a powerful file management app inspired by classic file commander applications. Designed to combine simplicity with advanced functionality, it offers a seamless way to organize, access, and protect files on Android devices, Chromebooks, and remote storage systems.
Explore Your Device
Solid Explorer automatically organizes files into collections such as Downloads, Recent, Photos, Videos, Music, Documents, and Apps. Files can be viewed, moved, renamed, deleted, or shared with ease. Indexed search with filters makes finding files fast, even across large storage systems.
Secure File Storage
Files can be protected with strong AES encryption and stored in a secure folder requiring password or fingerprint access. Encrypted files remain protected even if Solid Explorer is uninstalled, ensuring privacy and security at all times.
Analyze Storage Usage
Although Solid Explorer does not have a dedicated storage analyzer, users can check folder properties to see which files occupy the most space. Searches can be filtered by file size to identify and manage large files efficiently.
Cloud and Remote File Management
Solid Explorer supports a wide range of cloud providers including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Owncloud, SugarSync, MediaFire, Yandex, and Mega* (with paid add-on). It also supports NAS protocols such as FTP, SFTP, SMB (Samba), and WebDav. Users can transfer files between locations simply by dragging files from one panel to another.
