Acknowledgements

File Browser is based on the excellent Helloworld Pro template.

The Exif data is displayed with JHead, which is a public domain Exif manipulation tool.

Other file managers

There is a very handy two-paned file manager called Cargo Dock in the Jolla Store. Give it a try if you are moving a lot of files.

OpenRepos has a powerful file manager called Filetug.

The Jolla phone also ships with its own file manager called Files. It is not installed by default. You can install it by typing the following command in Terminal (requires Developer Mode).

pkcon install jolla-fileman

Android app stores also have file managers, such as ES File Explorer, which are good when accessing Android storage.
