Table Of Contents
Description
FX File Explorer features a Material Design UI and new ways to transfer your files between devices and computers:* SMBv2 support.
* 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
* Browse audio content by artist/album/playlist; manage and organize playlists
* Directly browse photo and video folders
* Encrypted password keyring (use one password to access network and cloud locations)
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
Android 8 / 9 Location Permission Notice
* NOTE: Android 8.0+ unfortunately required us to add the "approximate location" permission, as it's now required for apps that support Wi-Fi direct (because Wi-Fi direct leaks this information). FX does not ever actually query your location, and this permission will only ever be asked for on Android 8.0 and later when using FX Connect. This requirement previously applied only to Android 9.0, but because FX now specifies full support for the latest Android API, Android 8.0 also requires this permission.

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.

User's Reivew
5 ★Best file manager (for now) No ads, no nag screens, no hassle. Does its job exactly as advertised and does it perfectly.
4 ★It's ok but I do not like look and the theme options are terrible and very limited. I'll probably use the competitors more. Also disappointed that it cannot add a file shortcut to home screen - like Solid Explorer can.
5 ★Love this have on multiple devices opens up a whole new world able to share stuffnon phone with pc and tablet easy quick and so glad brought full version worth every penny
3 ★Needs some updating. Adding a drag & drop feature similar to solid Explorer would be great. Also the ability to access shortcuts to fx Explorer folders is becoming out of date. No other apps interact with fx as well as with earlier Android builds.
2 ★Overall filemanager is good but Can't access Android/data folder in Android11 please fix and update. As other third party file managers(like solid explorer) are supporting after latest update
1 ★Developer seems to have abandoned app. No updates in over 1½ yrs. Can't access Android Data folder on Android 11. Don't waste time on this app. X-Plore and Solid both work with Android 11.
5 ★Great Ui, not bad customization, a great plus but sadly they let me down on the mp4 media player. I would 100% recommend
5 ★The networking to a share drive was what I was looking for most in a file manager, and this one was works great, with the best file transfer speed I've found so far. Only thing I've found it was lacking was in the clean up, it did not have any option to empty the trash can, but found when deleting files, that did instantly free up the space used by that file, so I guess that function really isn't needed.
2 ★Upon closer inspection it seems like this will not show thumbnails across SMB connections. It only shows thumbnails for locally stored files. Too bad, it was almost perfect.
5 ★What a treasure. This has become one of my couldn't-live-without apps - which I wasn't expecting. SO much more than a file manager. And it all works as you're led to expect! Bookmarking's so handy. Split screen is intuitive. Only copy/cut + paste is a little clunky; not inconveniently so, once the steps have become second nature. Transferring files between phones is a godsend that I'd been doing by a roundabout method but now it's simple and quick... Absolutely worth the one-off payment.
1 ★Not working anymore to do sftp transfers to my servers. Used to be an awesome app. Have to uninstall and look for a different file manager
3 ★That's the most beautiful file manager I've come across! Pity the cloud option is only limited to paid version. Also I wish there was an option to change the storage unit (From GiB to GB) and a recycle bin option. I am quite curious, where does the file go if I delete it?
