Is it possible to have shortcuts to folders eg pictures music docs on my nexus 7 homescreen?
I use androxplorer at the moment.
Don't want a complicated program though.
 
I use Solid Explorer, it allows shortcuts.
To achieve this, long press the folder, then click the 3 dots menu icon and click Create Folder. Not complicated at all:-)

I was pretty sure AndroXplorer could create shortcuts but I haven't tried this yet ... because most times I'm using ES File Explorer and using it for shortcuts too.

So I've tried my AndroXplorer Pro, but the file manager stores any shortcuts only in an internal shortcuts folder, sorry for the misdirection !

So you might try ES as file manager, long press on the folder or file and choosing 'Shortcut' on the pop up menu will create a shortcut on the home screen.

I had picked Androxplorer as it seemed easier to understand
Is ES complicated?:o

Can I use both?

ES isn't complicated and you'd have installed both ES and AndroXplorer ... or even more file manager :)

I installed ES years ago and tried several file manager for different features/reasons in the meantime. AndroXplorer was one of them. But ES remains my favorite all times.
