Features include: - Standard file browsing and management features, including SD card and root directory support. - Copy, move, delete, and rename single files, or batch process multiple files at once with the multi select feature. - Send files to your favorite cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive - Enjoy Samsung Multiwindow support. Requires a multiwindow capable device such as the Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note, or other. Only Samsung devices currently support the multi window feature. - Show or hide hidden files. - Manage your files and external sd card with ease. - Choose between file list mode or grid view mode. - Display graphic thumbnails on image files. - Pin a homescreen shortcut to any file or folder on your system for quick and easy access - Now supports .zip file extraction.
