About Solid Explorer
Solid Explorer is a file manager for Android built around a dual-pane layout, so two locations can be browsed at once and files moved between them with drag and drop. It connects to cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Mega, which removes the need for a separate app for each one, and it can also reach network storage over protocols such as FTP, SFTP, WebDAV and SMB.
It supports root access for advanced users, and the interface can be adjusted with several icon sets and color schemes.
