Enabling folder sizes will make directory listing a little slower, but it will let you see how many files are present inside the folder and how much space they take. You can enable showing folder size or grouping the files into sections. More adjustments can be done under Folder options in the same menu. You can even set different preferences per folder, so for example your camera folder will be always displayed in gallery mode. You can change the appearance of file lists by tapping overflow menu -> view options and selecting desired view mode and sort order.

In the bottom right corner you can see a floating action button (FAB), which offers you an ability to add new content – folders, empty files and cloud connections. Below the breadcrumb there is a file list, which takes the rest of screen space. You can tap on it to open corresponding folders or tap on current folder name to refresh the file list. Below the toolbar there is another bar called breadcrumb, which displays your current location in the file system tree. You already know what it does so I hope the explanation is not needed. Each pane has a toolbar at the top, like every Android app. You can switch panes by swiping left and right or just touching them in dual mode. This behavior can be disabled in settings, but it’s recommended for big screens. If you rotate the device, you’ll see both panes side by side. If you’re familiar with this app you’ll find yourself in Solid Explorer very quickly. The main screen of Solid Explorer consists of two panes serving the same purpose as in popular Total Commander – they’re independent windows and display lists of files. If you’re new to Solid Explorer have a look at this guide to learn how to use the app and how it works.
