I have old files that I encrypted using ES File explorer a few years back that I would like to decrypt. I know the password but ES File Explorer is no longer available on the app store. Is there another tool or work around that will enable me to decrypt these files? Thank you.

I can't seem to see the files in the folders from my shared folder. I turned all of the password and everything off for ease. But it doesn't seem to work. I can see the folders and everything. But not the files. Just folders.

In ES File Explorer, each folder has its name underneath it. But if the name is long, only a truncated version of it appears. How can I see the full name? Bonus question: is there a more general way of seeing full file names when only partial names are shown?

I have the **ES File Explorer** and the **DU Recorder** apps installed on my phone, but they cannot be found in the Play Store anymore. So, how can I uninstall those apps?

At home have an older Windows desktop with a TB of hard drive and I constantly send files to it over my home network from my Note 4 and have amassed quite the collection. This morning, I started to upload a lot of it to a remote FTP server using ES File Explorer on my Note 4. I can click on my Windows desktop then select a group of files, copy and paste them to the FTP server and I get a progress bar of the transfer from "smb://desktop/users/" to "ftp://ftp.myserver.net/" and my question is if the data literally moves like that? The Windows machine is connected to the cable modem on an Ethernet wire and my Note 4 is on the crowded wireless network.

With a Windows machine, I can connect with IP, user, and password to some Linux shares. With ES File Explorer Pro, I get strange "server not found" messages. This is what I do: 1. Open ES File Explorer Pro 2. Search the LAN (the machine is listed) 3. Access the machine (I notice it's getting all the shares listed) 4. Entering a folder gives a permission error. So I add the folder to ES File Explorer server bookmarks and try to access it again, but I get a "server not found" error. 5. Then I edit the bookmark (and notice it's logging as an anonymous user) so I set the domain with the machine name, server adding smb://ip/share/ to the address, user, and password. And still, I get "server not found". All the other machines, some Linux and some Windows are accessing Just fine. Except for the Android devices with ES File Explorer Pro. What am I missing?

I have tried to edit build.prop for on screen navigation keys, but, unexpectedly get cleared build.prop file and got saved. What can be done to regenerate file? Should reinstall zip should solve it? Or can I copy file(build.prop) by extracting from ROM zip.

I had **encrypted a folder using ES File explorer**. Then later on, I upgraded my **ROM from cm12 to cm13**. And then, I was not able to decrypt the data with ES file explorer, after the OS update. **I know the key** used for encryption. Is it possible to decrypt the data manually? I thought it was not possible, but then i saw this post How to decrypt Adopted Storage? And now i believe there is a solution for my problem too.

Every few months, my internal storage begins to fill up. I store everything I can to SD Card, but Android has a limited ability to do so. I'm running Oreo, unrooted. The biggest dir by far is /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/.thumbnails/, which can stand around 3.1GB for some reason. I used ES File Explorer to delete it, then went to the Recycle Bin in the app and emptied it. The 3GB was not freed-up. I've restarted my phone several times, looked around for residual files, could not find LOST.dir. I'm honestly at a loss. Where did it go? How can I get the OS to free up this space? What better way can I use to get rid of this stuff?

I opened the Google Drive app and tried to upload files using ES File Explorer, but it said upload fails. It gave two options, upload in the normal Android way, and file way (if above fails). I tried both, but it failed. Some of the files having the same types did upload, but some exact same PDF didn't. The system and apps are up to date.

I am using a Lenovo A6000 Android phone. My default file manager is other than ES File Manager. How can I set the ES File manager as default and uninstall the in-built file manager?.

I was using the ES File Explorer app, when I noticed there's many different folders with all the same content. Like, there's a "legacy" folder, a "0" folder, and an "sdcard" folder, and it all goes to the same place where my DCIM is and such. I'm wondering if whatever I have takes up three times the space, or its all shortcuts to the same place. I'm confused with all this folder nonsense.

I recently moved from ES File Explorer to MiXplorer and discovered that I can't access the /data partition of other apps (

/data/data/com.example.app/

). I can only see

/data/data/com.mixplorer.silver/

with MiXplorer, while ES File Explorer can see everything just fine. I can use Termux to work with files of course, but that's the entire point of having a file explorer. Is there anything I can do? I'm running DerpFest 10-Official-RMX1921-20200407 (Android 10, April 5th 2020 patch) off of a Realme XT rooted with Magisk 20.4 in case it matters. Thank you for your time.

I wanted to make a file read-only (440)in internal storage but it shows "failed",as it seemingly requires root permission but I can't unlock bootloader as of now so is there any means we can do the above task?

I'm using es file pro version, I want to add mega account to cloud storage, the account addition section has "display as" so what should I fill in? 

I've been a pretty satisfied user of ES Explorer. When I wanted to add my MEGA cloud account I took the bait and paid for the pro version. Problem is, their Google Drive (as well as DropBox) interaction is outdated. Google doesn't allow its authentication page to be loaded in a webview of another app. Now I can't add Google Drive to the new app. The pro version is not an update up the ad-supported; it's another app. I still have Google Drive set up in the ad-supported app. How can I transfer the settings and account info from the old to the new? I do have root access and I've come across a file with the account information. I copied it over but it still doesn't show. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a GT-I9195 running Lollipop 5.1.1 (currently PAC-ROM) which in theory has 8GB of internal memory. However, I can't seem to track down what exactly has happened to all that space. With a paltry 100 or so apps (including system essentials) installed, the phone starts reporting it's out of space until I move apps to the external MicroSD card. The problem persisted even through the custom ROM installation and subsequent recent ROM update as well as a few factory resets/cache wipes/etc. It's been an issue for nearly 8 months now, and periodically I've trawled the Internet for suggestions and clues but without making any real progress. It seems to me as if a large chunk of space on the phone's memory is simply inaccessible and unused. Is this possible? How can I delve deeper into what's going on? I've included the output of a df command in terminal emulator below. I notice that there seem to be duplicates of the internal memory /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy (though I think one is just an alias of the other), and that they are both the same reported size as /data. Storage Analyser reports 541.93MB of that 5.3GB is used by accessible files and 3.59GB used by "android/inaccessible files". This adds up to the 4.1GB which df claims is in use, but I can't understand what that 3.59GB is when every app which can be put on the external SD card is already on it, and I thought that the /system partition contained the OS itself and was not included in /data? I've tried to get ES File Explorer to do its SD card analyst trick on the /data folder but without success, so it's not easy to probe it and find out how big each subfolder is. I'd really like to get to the bottom of this... can anyone offer a suggestion as to what to try next? **Edit:** also of interest to me is that I do have more than a gigabyte of space on the internal storage (/storage/emulated/0), but this is apparently unavailable for installing apps on. It holds DCIM and other random storagey things, and naturally freeing up space here doesn't allow me to install any more apps on the phone memory.

Thankfully this didn't take too long before I found the main culprits: data/media 1.45 GB data/data 1.11 GB data/dalvik-cache 1.17 GB data/app 642.57 MB data/user 1.11 GB (this appears to be a symlink of data/data) Investigating data/media, I discovered a **1GB backup file created by ClockWordMod recovery**, presumably when I first flashed the ROM. Moving it to my SD card has apparently recovered that space in /data, which is fab. **This has, presumably, been the main source of my problem** - that is, assuming this space is actually available for installation of apps now (not easy to check with this ROM other than by installing apps until I run out of space). As for the other big directories: I can believe that data/app is the total size of my installed apps, and I guess there's no getting around the dalvik cache being so huge. I'd really love to dig into data/data and see what exactly is using so much space in there, but in ES File Explorer I have to manually select each folder and click properties to find out how big a directory is - a task for another time as I've been unable to find a utility to do this for me.

My Android Pie SD card storage looks like this:

.
├── Android
|   ├──data
|   |  ├── com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping
|   |  |   └── ...
|   |  ├── com.amazon.venezia
|   |  |   └── ...
|   |  ├── com.android.providers.media
|   |  |   └── ...
|   |  └── ...
|   └── ...
└── LOST.DIR

If I navigate to /Android/data/ on the SD card you can see the first three directories are: 1. com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping 2. com.amazon.venezia 3. com.android.providers.media If I search for the string venezia results are only returned for my internal storage, but nothing for the SD card. Is there a problem with Android search, or is my search procedure wrong? I've tried on multiple Play store file explorers, all with the same result (inability to search SD card). --- **Edit -** The following Termux commands provide the following output:

$ find /sdcard/ -iname '*venezia*'
/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia

$ ls /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia

The **Home Page** of **ES File Explorer** is shown as I want **Home Page** as a default view, when I open **ES File Explorer**. I tried to change from here. But it's not changed. Pls let me know, how to change it? Regards Smith

When I try to enable **Root Explorer** in ES File Explorer/Manager PRO 1.0.7 there is a error toast notification saying that... Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone. I'm using a rooted OnePlus Two with OxygenOS 3.0.2 / Android 6.0.1. Can this error be solved somehow by the user?
