## Description

**NTFS Reader: USB+BitLocker** is an Android file manager for reading and writing external NTFS, exFAT and FAT32 hard drives, SSDs, flash drives and SD cards through USB-C or USB-OTG. Browse, search, sort, copy, move, rename and delete files directly from your phone or tablet—without root access, a computer, an account or ads.

The app supports BitLocker To Go drives using a password or 48-digit recovery key, multi-partition storage and drives larger than 2 TB. exFAT and FAT32 read/write access is free, while NTFS writing is available through a one-time in-app purchase. Features include file previews, system sharing, “Open with” support, progress tracking and crash-safe writes. Files and file names stay on your device, with no trackers, analytics or personal data collection.
