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.

Pro license glitch. I'm not sure how on Google Play my old purchase of Pro (icon is correct) became a purchase of Google Meet (was there ever a paid version of Meet?) when I click on the icon. I'd venture an additional payment, but I'm not sure how long that would stick. I think this is the third time a glitch has happened. Update 9/5/24. Seems I have another device using a different Play Store account, and somehow, there is an occasional mixup. The key checker seems to get the incorrect email.

TLDR: It's a good app with useful features (when they work). However, lately it does an abysmal job recognizing the upgrade for premium. FULL REVIEW: I've been using the app since 2015. THE GOOD; it's got an easy-to-use layout, an ok amount of tools, and nice theme customization. THE BAD; it forgets purchased upgrade, and the troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue. The FTP access is very useful but it struggles with connecting consistently or at all. I WOULD recommend this to a friend 👍

Worked great on past phones, but now you have to push the back button slowly or it refreshes the same folder endlessly. So if you want to go up two levels you'd normally hit the Android back button twice. Now you have to pause about half a second between each press. Been this way for 3 years across multiple high-end devices. Update: With Jul/Aug 2024 update, can no longer access LAN locations, always access denied. Multiple PCs. About had it with this app.
