Overview

File Expert is a comprehensive file management application for Android devices that provides a seamless alternative for managing and sharing all types of documents on your smartphone or tablet. The app is equipped with an integrated FTP/HTTP server that allows file sharing without the need for any physical connections.

File Sharing and Management

File Expert shines in its capacity to facilitate smooth file sharing. With an in-built FTP/HTTP server, users can share files without cables, sending documents easily through an interface designed particularly for touchscreens. Notably, File Expert is not limited to FTP servers. It also incorporates SMB, SFTP, FTP, and FTPS clients, enabling users to access their computer host from their smartphones. This means you can perform any task on your PC using your Android device, given that a stable WiFi connection is maintained.

Application Manager

File Expert comes with a robust Application manager that allows you to uninstall or make quick, secure copies of any application stored in your phone's memory. This functionality is not unique to File Expert as several applications on the Google Play Store offer a similar feature. However, according to its developer, Geek Software Technology Inc, File Expert stands out for its ability to perform these actions in silent mode, a feature that requires the user's smartphone to be rooted.

Additional Features

Furthermore, File Expert is more than just a file manager and application manager. It also allows users to create and unzip ZIP and RAR files, thereby providing easy access to their contents as if they were regular folders. The app also comes with tools that enable users to preview different text files in a variety of formats, as well as images and photographs.

Conclusion

In summary, File Expert is a comprehensive file management tool designed to help users effectively control virtually every aspect of their device. With its array of features, it provides a comfortable and efficient way to manage and share files, manage applications, and preview documents and images on Android devices.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BROADCAST_STICKY: Allows an application to broadcast sticky intents. These are broadcasts whose data is held by the system after being finished, so that clients can quickly retrieve that data without having to wait for the next broadcast.
  • CHANGE_CONFIGURATION: Allows an application to modify the current configuration, such as locale.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • CLEAR_APP_CACHE: Allows an application to clear the caches of all installed applications on the device.
  • DISABLE_KEYGUARD: Allows applications to disable the keyguard if it is not secure.
  • INSTALL_SHORTCUT: Allows an application to install a shortcut in Launcher.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SET_WALLPAPER: Allows applications to set the wallpaper.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT: This permission is no longer supported.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.
  • android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
  • android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS
  • com.android.vending.BILLING
  • com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
  • xcxin.filexpert.permission.C2D_MESSAGE
