Hi everyone,
Before buying Solid Explorer, I’ve got a final set of questions about features, customization, and a few issues. I’m on Day 3 of the trial and want to remove ads right after purchase. Appreciate any help
1. Casting & Media Player
I love the cast feature—very handy for TV.
Does SE have a built-in video player or rely on third-party apps like VLC?
When playing videos via VLC, it briefly switches between SE and VLC—normal or fixable?
2. Cloud & Root Access
Does SE allow full access to all files in all Google accounts?
Can we cast cloud-stored files (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.)?
3. Support
Is Reddit (r/NeatBytes) the only official support for licensing or activation issues?
4. Android TV
Can SE be installed and used on Android TV?
5. Left Menu Customization
Can we reorder items (e.g., OneDrive → Google Drive → PC)?
Can we add shortcuts for PDFs only?
Are sections like “Collections” and “Tools” fixed and not customizable?
6. Features: Shizuku & USB OTG
What’s the Shizuku feature?
How well does SE handle USB OTG drives? (Haven’t tested yet.)
7. Multiple Google Accounts
If SE is bought using one Google account, can it still access files from others?
8. SMB Sync Issue
SMB changes don’t reflect until I switch folders—any fix?
9. Resource Usage
Is SE heavier on battery or RAM than other file managers?
10. Feature Requests / Future Plans
Any plans for:
Direct cloud-to-cloud file transfers?
Casting multiple files (like playlists)?
Subtitle support while casting?
Thanks in advance! Would love to hear how others use SE or manage these issues.
