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:

It's been amazing with the full version, for years. Thanks for adding pcloud, it works well, better than my webdav. However you broke Dropbox, I also get disallowed_name errors for safely named directories and files

Great app. Does what it says it does with clean interface. Only thing missing is a way to customize folder icons or at least choose a color for specific folders.

Was working flawlessly, but has suddenly started failing to copy-paste files to Dropbox. I keep getting an"Exception"with "reason":"disallowed_name" despite there being no problem with the filename.
