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.

I've been using SolidExplorer for years, and LOVE(d) it! Now, deducting 1 star for every crash, reboot, reinstall I go through without support. It took some getting used to the left and right panels, but once I figured that out, no going back. Lately (2024), I've been having app-breaking issues. No idea what causes them, but when it locks up, there's no returning without rebooting the phone. I've had to reboot it uninstall and re-install the app 4 or 5 times. Emailed the dev the last time.

The "become a pro" message is getting really annoying. I bought pro, and did the whole clear data/uninstall cycle, it still comes back after a while. Edit: Now I get ads too. The developer changed something in how license verification is handled, and it's ruining the app. You don't even have to add more features, just leave the app alone. One star until these awful changes are reverted.

I paid for the Pro license, but too often it loses track of the license. The solution they provide is clumsy, often does NOT work, and wipes out all your network storage mappings and shortcuts in the process. Until you get it resolved, you are bombarded with annoying ads you already paid to avoid. After you manually recreate your settings, you get to wait for another update to screw it all up again. Really getting tired of this.
