File Shortcut(OLD) APK Download for Android

Description

[DEPRECATED]
This app is too old so it's now deprecated.
I released a new version and it's support Android Oreo now.
Please try it.
(It is NOT compatible with the old app.)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nagopy.android.fileshortcut

It is an app to create a shortcut to open the file.
You can choose any files such as images, videos, or PDF.

Caution
- You need a separate application that corresponds to the format so you can open the file. For example, PDF files can not be opened without PDF readers such as Adobe Reader.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

4 ★This app is great if you're tired of having to look for your files. I'd like to see the ability to update already created shortcuts, but that's minor. You can always delete and recreate a shortcut that needs changing. I'd have given it 5 stars, but the app is not totally intuitive and it lack documentation.

5 ★This is a great and useful app widget. But on the Samsung T231 all the shortcut pictures are replaced with the generic green arrow everytime the tablet is restarted or when a system update is made. On my other devices the pictures seem to hold well.

1 ★Doesn't do anything? Just opens and let's you move between its own screens, that's it. Waste of time.

3 ★This app was great for quite some time. Very simple, easy to use, but now it no longer works. After I restart my phone, all shortcuts that I have made disappear without a trace.

5 ★Works like it is supposed to. Only thing I wanted to note is that you should make sure your default program for the file you are making a shortcut for is set other wise it will it may not open the file and when you go to reopen it will say "already open". I just reset my phone when this happens and it clears. No complaints other than that which is avoidable.

5 ★This worked for me when trying to add a file (such as a PDF) to the homescreen with the built-in File Manager and ES File Explorer did not work. Very excited that I could use this app as a workaround.

5 ★Brilliant little app! Just too cool! I love it!!! :-) --- The instructions are very vague. You can tell that he thought he did give clear instructions, but he didn't do it from an, "I've never seen this type of app before and I didn't even know you could do that in Android!" viewpoint. So you're pretty much on your own. :-) But all ya gotta do, is to "Share" the file to this app, ignore all the crap in the screen that comes up, then tap the bar at the bottom that says "OK", or something like that and it will create the Shortcut for your file on your Home Screen. That's it! Done! :-)

5 ★I was so sick of trying to find all my downloads and remember where they were and when I downloaded them on my device. This app just gave my tablet a Desktop feature. Invaluable. Thank you!

5 ★Finally i found a Great app to create a shortcut to any documents and files. This is what i searched for, and found this. Working like any thing. Better we can change the theme and view. This helps a lot to rise the application. Thanks.

5 ★I wanted shortcuts to all my Final Fantasy games but needed to create shortcuts to the gameboy advance games (FF 1,2,5,6)... FF 3 and 4 are android and 7,8and9 are Epsxe which can create shortcuts. This app solved my problem and I now have a Homescreen completely dedicated to Final Fantasy !!!

5 ★GREAT APP, BUT THERE'S A CAVEAT! This app is perfect for setting up quick access to any files, even on your SD Card. However, this app should never be MOVED to the SD Card, as the next reboot will replace any special icons for the shortcuts with the generic bent arrow icon that the app uses, and all shortcut labels will be defaulted to the words "File Shortcut", which pretty much defeats the purpose of this app, as every shortcut looks the same and is labeled the same. Moving the app back to the SYSTEM storage won't fix the problem until after all shortcuts are re-built, but once that is done, future re-boots will not alter the icons or the labels,

5 ★This does exactly as it says - it creates shortcuts from any file on your homescreen. To run the app, locate the file via your file manager andthen share it to the app. You will be re-directed to the app itself where you can change the name of the shortcut (it defaults to the filename and extension) and you can choose your own icon for the shortcut. And that's allthere is to it. Simple! Galaxy Note 10.1 -Jellybean
