About this app

Solid Explorer is a powerful file manager that gives you full control over files on your device, in the cloud, and across your network.

🗄️ Dual-pane layout — drag and drop files between two panels
🔐 AES-256 encryption — lock files with password or fingerprint
🖥️ Cloud & network access — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, SMB, SFTP, FTP & more
🌐 Web file sharing — send files to any device with a web browser


Manage files your way
Navigate two folders side by side and drag files between panels — the fastest way to organize storage. Use indexed search to find anything instantly, batch rename files with patterns, and browse collections that automatically sort your Downloads, Photos, Videos, Music, Documents, and Apps.


Access all your storage in one app
Connect to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Mega*, MediaFire, Yandex, Owncloud and SugarSync. Access NAS drives and servers over SMB/CIFS (Samba), SFTP, FTP, and WebDAV. Transfer files between any two locations — cloud to cloud, server to phone, or SD card to NAS — just drag between panels.


Share files with any device
Start the built-in web server and share files with any phone, tablet, or computer on your network — the other device just needs a web browser. No app install needed on the receiving end.


Keep your files private
Encrypt sensitive files with AES-256 and lock them behind a password or fingerprint. Encrypted files stay protected even if you uninstall the app — no account required.


Clean up and free storage
Analyze what takes up space, find duplicate and large files, and clean up junk — similar to dedicated cleaner apps, but built right into your file manager. Works across internal storage, SD cards, USB OTG drives, and even cloud storage like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox.


Full feature list:

• Dual-pane layout — manage two folders side by side
• Cloud storage — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, NextCloud, SugarSync, MediaFire, Yandex, Mega*
• Network protocols — FTP, SFTP, SMB/CIFS (Samba), WebDAV
• Web file sharing — share files with any device via browser
• Storage analyzer — find duplicates, large files, and junk to clean up
• File encryption — AES-256 with password and fingerprint
• Archives — create and extract ZIP, 7ZIP, RAR, TAR
• Root explorer — browse system files on rooted devices
• Indexed search — find files instantly with filters
• Collections — Downloads, Recent, Photos, Videos, Music, Documents, Apps
• Built-in media — image viewer, music player, video player, text editor
• Batch rename — rename multiple files with patterns
• FTP Server — access your phone's files from PC
• Themes and icon sets — rich customization
• Chromebook & tablet support — mouse, keyboard and trackpad input

I've been using SolidExplorer for years, and LOVE it! It took some getting used to the left and right panels, but once I figured that out, no going back to ordinary file explorers. Easy connection to local network shares and cloud services, all in one app. I occasionally encounter issues or crashes navigating network shares, but overall, I love it.

Our V3 release was quite bumpy, and the high volume of feedback meant we unfortunately could not reply to every email. We want to let you know that these app-breaking bugs have now been fully fixed. Please update to the latest version, hope we can earn back your 5 stars.

Best file explorer I've ever used, since the day it was launched, for many years. Got the paid version immediately too. Lately however, for the past few months, it doesn't mount external SD cards/usbs. It started becoming hit or miss, and most recently, won't even mount them at all. Checked all permissions and reboot. Other file explorers seem to mount them fine, so using those for now. Hopefully the team can fix this since it's an essential feature. s23 ultra with latest OS updates

Solid Explorer has been one of the most frustrating file manager apps I’ve used. I tried copying files to an encrypted folder, but even after granting every permission possible, it kept asking for access and refused to work. It’s full of bugs and feels like a waste of money. Honestly, I regret purchasing it.
