Internal Storage
The Internal Storage menu provides you with the most in-depth look at your Android filesystem. Along with all the options for management it also features the
Storage Analyzer, which provides an in-depth look at memory and resource usage.
The
Internal storage menu displays a list of all of the user-accessible files and folders in the internal memory of your Android device. Accessing it lets you perform a number of actions:
Search finds files and folders within the current directory.
View toggles between a list or tiled (thumbnail) display.
New Folder let's you create a new folder in the current directory.
Sort by allows you to sort the files and folders in the current directory based on their name, type, size or when they were last modified. You can also pick whether they will be in an ascending or descending order.
Filter by is used when you want to view only a specific file type such as pictures, music or videos.
You can access additional contextual options for each file and folder by tapping and holding on it.
Copy a file/folder to the clipboard. (A Paste option will appear in the menu of an opened folder.)
Cut a file/folder to the clipboard. (A Paste option will appear in the menu of an opened folder.)
Delete a file/folder - you will be prompted for confirmation before deletion. Deleted files will be moved to the Recycle Bin unless the Delete permanently box is checked.
The
Contextual menu displays a drop down menu with even more options, including:
Move the selected file or directory to another location.
Select all will select all files and folders in the current directory.
Rename gives you the choice to change the file or folder's name.
Zip will compress the file or folder into a .zip file.
Add to favorites will add the file or folder to your favorites list. Once it has been added there the option will be substituted with the
Remove favorite.
Properties shows detailed information about the selected file or folder, including the name, location, size, date last modified, as well as the number of items it contains (only for folders).
Create shortcut places a shortcut to the selected file or folder on the homescreen.
You can select multiple items with a tap-and-hold on a file or folder. The options displayed will vary depending on the number and types of files and folders selected.
