## Description

FX Explorer is a user-friendly file management extension designed to help you view, edit, and organize your files as easily as on your desktop computer. It offers multiple pages, folder navigation and search, support for all file types including archives (.zip, .apk, .rar), and secure private storage to protect files from other apps.

Additional features include sharing files across devices on the same network, batch renaming, SD-card and USB device management, customizable layouts and themes (light/dark with recoloring), and multi-language support. With no advertisements, no tracking, and minimal permissions, FX Explorer prioritizes user privacy and a clean experience. Tools like FX Select, FX Save, and FX Image Viewer enhance file handling, with upcoming additions including a video player, music player, and text editor.
