File Management

It's nice to be able to view or edit your document
attachments, but it's also nice to know where those
files are stored on your SD card without having to
connect your phone to a computer in order to do basic
file-management tasks. Your DROID comes with the
Files app for file management.
File-management software lets you see and move your
files; it also enables you to break things if you don't
know what you're doing or you aren't careful. Use
caution when moving files and renaming folders. Of the
apps we've evaluated, EStrongs File Explorer was
our favorite, but there are many strong, free choices.
We like to combine File Explorer with Dropbox, which
allows us to share and sync files through the Internet
and access them from any computer or mobile device.
Table A–3 lists the available file-management options.
TIP: To learn more about Dropbox, check out Chapter
21. To learn about which folders store all your pictures,
videos, and ringtones, check out Chapter 25: "DROID
Media Sync.
