  1. Make Solid a Content Provider for Android (to serve as replacement for Stock DocumentsUI)

    There's one feature I've been searching for and have yet to find in any other file manager or even as a request here and that's adding the ability have Solid (optionally of course) physically serve as a replacement for the stock documentsUI found in Marshmallow and Nougat.

    I've got several reasons for thinking this is not only a good idea but beneficial for the practicality of the all-in-one model Solid seems to be striving toward, and those reasons are as follows

    1 - Everyone loves removing bloatware, and thats pretty much what the documents provider is when sitting next to…

  5. Is there a way to save cloud storage to an external micro SD card vs. internal storage?

    Doesn't seem to be an option yet. Internal storage is pretty full and the added flexibility would be wonderful! Thanks :)

  8. Make music player work in background

    When I play some file with the integrated sound player it would be great if it continue playing when I exit SE, something like in ES File Explorer or Mixplorer. See the attached screenshot: if I click outside the music player the player exits and the music stops, in other explorers it continues to play in background and player goes to the notification bar, please make the same in SE, it's very useful.

  12. Option to change filename when a file is shared to solid Explorer

    When saving for example a downloaded file or a photo using the share to... function, the filename can't be changed. Only the folder can be selected. Could you please also provide the option to change the filename in the save to dialog box. ( as is usually the case in desktop os) (I know you can do it in solid Explorer, but this requires opening SE en navigating to the same folder

  17. Alternative licensing out of Google Play

    Hi,

    I've bought Solid Explorer Unlocker since a long time, around 2012 I think, but I did it from Play Store. Today I would like to reinstall my system without any Google app or account so I would like to know if you provide any alternative licensing method that doesn't require Google between you and me, even another "store" would be welcome. I usually prefer free and open-source softwares but your file manager is the very best, at least to my taste, so I just need it.

    I would have the same issue when I will buy my next phone…

  18. Alternative payment options to Google Play

    I don't like to share my Account Details with Google. It would be nice if you could offer a direct payment (Threema also offers this) or payment with the Amazon Store.

    I know that there is also a "question" thread but I like to open it as Feature Request to see how many also need this feature. As far as Solid Explorer can only be bought on GP I will not be your paying customer ;)

    Reasons for an alternative payment option:

    Google haters will love it
    Kindle devices dont use Google Play
    Amazon gift cards can be used for…

  19. Visual feedback for hidden files/folders. Show hidden files/folders more transparent or in a way to diferentiate visually from non hidden on

    It would be helpful if it would be possible to visually diferentiate hidden files from non hidden ones. For example having the hidden files/folders more transparent or with a marker or more darker color.

  20. Make SMB/CIFS compatible with DDNS and encryption

    On recent Nas, the DDNS address is much used and useful, then the encryption too (provided with Samba 3), especially if LAN services are exposed to external access, like happens for my Synology DS116.

    Actually I'm forced to disable encryption for Solid Explorer and I'm using a numerical address that (obviously) would change after some hours.
    It's less secure and unconfortable.
