Hi, you really helped me I needed it for blueprints,for a game, and on Android 11 I couldn't move the blueprints to my game because of the restrictions but you helped me so thank you so much.
30 years of IT, never seen any app do it this way... first select the goal, then find file and select move... instead of select file first, then go to goal and paste............. spend half an hour trying to figure it out, how annoying
Thanks. This helped me out a lot. I've been using X-Plore for a little while. This program is very interesting, impressive, and quite useful to boot. #FileManager #XPlore #CouchPotatoCafe
On the Nvidia the first external was on there as a system storage and then the 5tb one I plug in at will and the X-plore see's it like a computer would.
Thank you so much. I put this on my android tablet because I couldn't get Google files app to do what I can do with this one. Your video is very detailed with lots of info. I'm just nervous about using the free version, I will donate to the app. I hope that will keep my files secure. Thanks.
I also have bb racing installed on my phone =)). Last time I played that game was around 8 years ago so I just have it sitting there for nostalgia. I might play it again sometime to see how it is.
I was trying to create a New Folder on a USB stick using this app. Kept getting message that it couldn't create the folder. I made sure I was in Superuser mod but still didn't work.
Great video, but you did not explain if the USB for the Fire TV Stick 4K needs to be formatted by a computer or by the Amazon Fire Stick 4K and which type of format to use if that is the case. Price for the application is it a one time payment or a monthly payment of $5.00 USD? I want to be able to use the USB on my computer add files (Movies & Music) and then use them on my Fire TV Stick 4K, which format do I use? Thanks!
Hi Victor, with the changing operating systems and updates Amazon is doing be sure that x-plore is up to date also check the play store for latest pricing and It is a one time fee play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&pli=1 If you need more assistance check out x-ploes web support at www.lonelycatgames.com/docs/xplore that is an in depth setup and user guide that should help you out.
So you essentially install the xplore app on BOTH the storage stick and the firestick/chromecast? And you can add it to a desktop (and I'm guessing ipad/tablet) as well if you want to transfer between all of them? If it works I'll thumb up and subscribe.
Hi John, that's not what I said but yes you can install xplore on all devices listed, you can then use the xplore add on (extra cost one device) say for your computer to manage and transfer files back and forth to the listed device.
Great video. My question is how can I increase the speed on ftp server. I want to send games from tablet to ps3 . I have wifi speed 100mbs. And the upload speed of xplore is 265kb/sec
Nice video. My question is on the "Donate 3 Beers". I donated 3 beers while using X-plore 4.27 on a Samsung Tablet( it is fully activated). Is the donation only good for the device which you donated from. I.E. can I also somehow use this purchase with say a FireStick4k? Otherwise is "3 beers donation" only good for one device? This was done via the "in app purchase" I wish to use on my phone, tablet and firestick without having to make multiple purchases. I downloaded X-plore for the Firestick from Amazon and the X-plore for the Tablet via the in app purchase(Google Play?).
Start by long pressing the select button for the popup and check mark it and then move it. here is a good resource for everything X-plore www.lonelycatgames.com/apps/xplore
I have two tv’s and downloaded the x-poorer on both and plugged in my usb drive and they do not show up on the x-plowed list on the screen. Can you help? I’m trying to record on tivimate and send it over to USB drive. Thanks Chuck
Does anyone have this dilemma? I have one Firestick w/OTG cable and 16GB Sandisk USB, one Firestick with UGreen USB hub ethernet connected and 16GB Sandisk USB. I've downloaded Xplore on both and am unable to see Device Storage. I can format for External storage and the USB's show up in Xplore. I've tried everything I know to do, but at this point I have no solution.
@@CouchPotatoCafe Thanks, CPC! I believe I have it figured out. External storage WILL show in Xplore, but Device storage won't because it is set to 'private'. I can, however, move apps in Xplore to the USB and confirm the move by looking at manage applications and confirming I see the USB icon. CordCutters has just the video to explain this process.
Sorry for the delay I was a speaker at a conference this week. If it's a paid version just contact them if not then install it the same way I showed you in the video
When I click disk map, am I supposed to be able to go in a see the folders it scanned and be able to delete stuff or is it just for me to see what it scanned?

If you have plugged a usb stick into youre phone, is it possible to remove it safeley in the x-plore file browser because i cant seem to find that option :D thanks

i have firestick 4kmax, I installed xplore and have several apps that show on they are installed on my usb drive that i have on the ogb cable. However, in xplore I do not see my "264 usb disk drive"/ I see on your video your Samsung usb drive shows. So i assume when you move files from the left side to the right side they are going in the usb drive. When i move files from the left to the right i think it is still staying in internal storage because my internal space is decreasing. How do i get my usb drive to show so i can move the picture folders and files into them (external storage)? Really could use your help.
Go to your settings on the firestick under storage and add the USB device and be sure it's writable and if you do not see the usb drive be sure the OGB cable is a good one, I went through two new ones that did not work.
@@CouchPotatoCafe On my tv when I go into My Fire TV and go to usb drive I see 244 gb of 245 gb external storage available.

Yeah Google has some pretty good protection on their proprietary software and devices, you might get in touch with X-plore support where they may have a patch for it
X-plore offers recycle bin function, which allows to recover deleted files. Due to technical limitations how Android works, this function is available only for device’s internal mass-memory storage (not on removable memory cards). The recycle bin may be enabled in Configuration. When enabled, the recycle bin folder appears automatically as special folder in Internal storage (if it is not empty). It is also possible to configure it so that Recycle bin folder is hidden, and displayed only when you choose to show hidden files. Only files deleted in X-plore are placed into its Recycle bin. Any files that you delete outside of X-plore won’t be saved there.
Don't know if you covered this but have you ever gotten an open with list when trying to install an APK? How do I install this file? Any help or comment welcomed.
The issue happens with an incorrect HTTP header. If the request has the right Content-Type header: application/vnd.android.package-archive, the APK will be installed correctly. Not knowing if you are using a web browser to control x-plore or if you are trying to open a apk directly through the app. You could try to install from another file program and check permissions on your files.
To extract files using X-plore File Manager, follow these steps: 1. Open X-plore File Manager on your Android device. 2. Navigate to the folder containing the compressed file you want to extract. 3.

I've only installed apps from Amazon's app store. Is there a way to remove the apks or maybe Amazon does this automatically? When I look at the installed app VLC details I see the source dir is /data/app/org.videolan.vlc-1/base.apk. If this is not the actual executable that runs can it be safely removed? Several apps like Amazon Kids, Amazon Live Shopping, Amazon Music can not be uninstall using "Manage Installed Applications". Can X PLORE allow users to uninstall these apps?
I would download from the Amazon store "Total Commander" and "CCleaner" which will help you with that and with some of Amazons APK cannot be removed as proprietary system apks
This is indeed the best file manager. I've been using it for years. No fluff. I've tried many before this and none beat this one.
