What is FX File Explorer?

FX File Explorer features a Material Design UI and new ways to transfer your files between devices and computers

  • New "FX Connect" transfers files from phone-to-phone with Wi-Fi Direct. Supports NFC to connect two phones by physically touching their backs together. (requires FX+)
  • New "Web Access" enables 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 is a file explorer built to make working with files and media on your phone or tablet as easy as it is on your computer:

  • Productivity-oriented "Home Screen": Directly access your important folders, media, and cloud storage
  • Multiple window support, with dual-view mode to see two windows at once
  • "Usage View" mode shows the total size and content makeup of every folder, as you browse and manage files
  • Support for most file archive formats

FX protects your privacy:

  • No advertisements
  • No tracking of user activity: FX does not ever "phone home"
  • Built by NextApp, Inc., a US corporation founded in 2002; all proprietary code was developed in-house

The optional FX+ Add-On module enables more functionality:

  • Access networked computers, including FTP, SSH FTP, WebDAV, and Windows Networking (SMB1 and SMB2)
  • Connect to cloud storage including Google Drive, Dropbox, SugarSync, Box, SkyDrive, and OwnCloud
  • Manage installed applications, with support for browsing applications based on their required permissions
  • Create and explore inside AES-256/AES-128 encrypted zip files

FX includes a number of built-in editing/viewing applets:

  • Text Editor (with undo/redo history, cut/paste, search, and pinch-to-zoom)
  • Binary (Hex) Viewer
  • Image Viewer
  • Media Player and pop-up Audio Player
  • Zip, Tar, GZip, Bzip2, 7zip archive creators and extractors
  • RAR file extractor
  • Shell Script Executor
