Overview

In this view, you will see the list of files and folders on the currently opened local disk or network folder. The full path of the opened folder can be seen in the title of the view. If you can't see the full names of the files or folders, you can rotate your phone in landscape mode.

To open an item you just need to touch it. If the item is a folder, you will see its contents. If the item is a file, it will be opened. Please note that some types of files cannot be opened by myExplorer. You can copy or move these files in the Phone Memory or Memory Card disk and then open them with another program.

If the opened file is on a network share and it is relatively large, it will take some time to transfer it to your phone local cache before opening it. You can stop the transfer at any time.

To see more details (file size, last modification time, attributes) about given file or folder, you must long touch it and then select Details from the context menu. If you want to see the details of more than one file or folder, you can mark them and then use the Details command from the context menu

To delete file or folder, please use the Delete command from the context menu. You can delete more than one item by marking the desired items and then using the Delete command to delete all at once.

If you want to change the name of file or folder, you can use the Rename command from the context menu. Please note that the Rename command is not available for marked items.

To return to the parent folder, you must tap the Back button. If you want to jump directly to one of the parent folders or directly to the home screen of myExplorer, you should tap the Tree button, which will show you the list of parent folders of the current folder.

Copy, Cut and Paste operations

You can copy or move files and folders from one location to another. To start, you have to mark the items that you want to copy or move, then long touch them and select the Copy or Cut commands from the context menu. After that, navigate to the destination folder, long touch the empty space after the last item and select the Paste command.

Alternatively, you can use the Copy, Cut and Paste commands from the option menu (they are located under the Copy / Move menu item).

Other operations

You can select all items at once, deselect them or invert the current selection by using the commands from the Select item of the option menu.

Use the Refresh command from the option menu to reload the contents of the current folder.

You can filter the items (files and folders) in the current folder by their names with the option menu command Filter / Search. You can use any patterns, including the wildcard symbols * (matching zero or more characters) and ? (matching exactly one character).

You can use the New Folder command from option menu to create a new folder in the current location. Note that because of the security restrictions of the phone, it is not possible to create a new folder in the Phone Memory and Memory Card disks. If you need to create a new folder there, you can use the built-in My Files file manager of the phone.
