I want to use this medium to wish my wonderful readers a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Es explorer is a multipurpose file managing app for Android devices, it has a variety of features which both power users and normal users can find useful in various occasions,some which most of us don't know of.
I'll be listing some of those things you didn't know you could do with this wonderful app,so...stay tuned.
- Data Encryption:
Es explorer provides you with the option of encrypting (password protect) your your files,rendering the encrypted files inaccessible without the specified password, let's just say 'no one except you will be able to access the encrypted files'. Not that they can't, but not without the password.
To encrypt a file or folder with Es explorer, all you have to do is long-click on the file or folder you wish to encrypt till the hidden menu appears at the top of the screen, now click on the drop-down button at the top right corner of the screen and select "Encrypt'' then set your desired password and press "Ok".
To decrypt the file,just follow the same procedure above but you'll have to click on "Decrypt" in the drop-down menu instead of "Encrypt" as stated above.
2. Data Compression/Decompression:
File compression has never been so easy, with Es explorer you can compress files and folders just in a blink of an eye. You can compress your files into 'zip', 'tz' and 'gz' archives so as to keep your files organized and also to free up some space on your phone storage or memory cards.
To do this you'll have to long-click on the file or folder that you wish to compress till the hidden menu appears at the top of the screen just like we mentioned in the first tip above. Now click on the drop down button at the top right corner of the screen, then select "Compress", input the name of the archive, add a password if you wish to and select "Ok"
You can also extract any compressed file with Es explorer without necessarily downloading any separate software.
3. Battery Optimization:
Yea, you heard me right. This feature of Es explorer is the least known but yet key feature of the app. Aside the ability to flawlessly manage files, Es explorer was embedded with a memory cleaning tool which helps in cleaning the phone's memory by closing every battery draining apps or files running in the background.
To use this feature, go to the homepage of the app, swipe your thumb from the left corner of the screen to the right to view the sidebar menu, in the sidebar menu click on "Cleaner" then on "Clean now".
4. Recycling Bin:
Es explorer also has the "Recycle bin" option which i think is pretty cool, now you do not have to worry about completely losing your files anymore. With this feature enabled, any files deleted through Es explorer would be stored in the recycle bin and can be recovered anytime it's needed again. But i'd advice not to keep this option enabled at all times cause the deleted files are been stored in the recycle bin folder and therefore consuming the memory space of the phone, more files deleted means more space consumed.
Enable the recycle bin option in the sidebar menu by clicking on the "Switch" opposite "Recycle bin" to enable the feature. After enabling the feature,you'll be prompted to move any deleted files into the recycling bin. To restore any file in the recycling bin, just click on "Recycle Bin" in the sidebar, then restore your desired file.
5. Renaming Multiple files (in batch):
Renaming multiple files or folders at the same time is not something you see in most file explorers, but with Es explorer it's just like taking a stroll in the park. To do this you just have to mark the files that you wish to rename, then click on the rename button at the upper right corner of the screen, now rename to your thirst!
6. Sd Card Analysis:
With Es explorer you can easily analyze/monitor your SD card storage to be able see the size of each folders/files and also see the amount of free/used space available on your SD card. To do this, swipe your thumb from the left side corner of your screen to the right then select SD card analyst.
