Files and Folders
Privacy-First Android File Explorer & Media Viewer
About the Project
Files and Folders is a robust, privacy-first file manager and media viewer built for Android devices. Unlike standard file managers that require broad external storage permissions, Files and Folders utilizes the modern Android Storage Access Framework (SAF) to ensure users retain absolute control over exactly which directories the app can view and access.
With high-performance integrated viewers, users can open images, play videos, browse PDFs, and read documents directly inside the application, complete with responsive pinch-to-zoom capabilities.
