FX File Explorer

Experience a seamless and private file management solution with FX File Explorer. Designed with a sleek Material Design UI, FX File Explorer offers innovative ways to transfer files between your devices and computers, ensuring you manage your files without ads, annoyances, or tracking, while retaining your privacy.

FX File Explorer introduces advanced file transfer capabilities:

• SMBv2 support for enhanced network file sharing.
• FX Connect, a feature that allows file transfers from phone-to-phone using Wi-Fi Direct. It also supports NFC, enabling you to connect two phones by simply touching their backs together. (requires FX+)
• Web Access, which facilitates the transfer and management of files and media from your computer's web browser. You can drag-and-drop entire folders to your phone from your computer or stream your phone's music playlists to your computer over Wi-Fi. (requires FX+)

FX File Explorer is crafted to make working with files and media on your phone or tablet as intuitive as on your computer:

• A productivity-focused "Home Screen" that provides direct access to your important folders, media, and cloud storage.
• Multiple window support, including a dual-view mode to manage two windows simultaneously.
• "Usage View" mode, which displays the total size and content composition of every folder as you browse and manage files.
• Support for most file archive formats, ensuring comprehensive file management.

Your privacy is paramount with FX File Explorer:

• No advertisements to distract you.
• No tracking of user activity; FX does not "phone home".
• Developed by NextApp, Inc., a US corporation established in 2002, with all proprietary code developed in-house.

FX File Explorer comes equipped with a suite of built-in editing and viewing applets:

Android 8 / 9 Location Permission Notice:

Please note that Android 8.0+ requires the "approximate location" permission for apps supporting Wi-Fi direct, due to the potential for Wi-Fi direct to leak location information. Rest assured, FX File Explorer does not query your location, and this permission is only requested on Android 8.0 and later when using FX Connect. This requirement was initially for Android 9.0 but now extends to Android 8.0 due to full support for the latest Android API.
