FX File Explorer: Your Privacy-Focused File Manager
FX File Explorer offers a clean, ad-free, and privacy-respecting way to manage your files on Android. Its Material Design interface provides intuitive navigation, while powerful features simplify file transfers and organization. Key features include:
-
Secure File Transfers: Transfer files between devices using SMBv2, and between phones via Wi-Fi Direct (FX+ required), even using NFC for direct contact. Web Access (FX+ required) allows seamless transfer and management from your computer's browser, including drag-and-drop folder transfers.
-
Enhanced Productivity: A streamlined home screen provides quick access to important folders, media, and cloud storage. Multi-window and dual-view modes boost efficiency, while the Usage View displays folder sizes and contents for optimized management.
-
Comprehensive File Support: FX handles most archive formats and includes built-in viewers and editors for text, binary (hex) data, images, and media. It also supports creation and extraction of various archive types (Zip, Tar, GZip, Bzip2, 7zip, RAR). A shell script executor is also included.
-
Robust Privacy Protection: FX is committed to user privacy, with no ads, no tracking, and all proprietary code developed in-house by NextApp, Inc., a US corporation.
FX+ Add-On (Optional):
Unlock additional capabilities with the FX+ Add-on, including:
-
Networked Computer Access: Connect to FTP, SSH FTP, WebDAV, and Windows networks (SMB1 and SMB2).
-
Cloud Storage Integration: Manage files on Google Drive, Dropbox, SugarSync, Box, SkyDrive, and OwnCloud.
-
App Management: Browse and manage installed applications based on their permissions.

Android 8/9 Location Permission:
Android 8.0+ requires the "approximate location" permission for apps using Wi-Fi Direct. FX does not use this information for location tracking; it's solely required for Wi-Fi Direct functionality.
Version 9.0.1.2 (April 9, 2023):
This latest version includes minor bug fixes and improvements.
