Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Find your files no matter where they are. It happens ever so often. You save a file but can't remember where. Well, not anymore. ASTRO Cloud and File Manager is a free file explorer with over 100 million downloads worldwide. It's robust technology helps you organize, view, manage and retrieve all of your files and documents no matter if they are stored in a phone, tablet or even in a cloud. You can even search for specific types of content (photos, music, videos, etc.) or even specific files based on file name, size, location or any other filter. Features Cloud Hopping lets you move files from one cloud to another by simply copying, moving or pasting without having to download them first. After your first search, results are almost instantaneous across all indexed locations like mobiles, clouds or networked locations. Search for files that have been indexed even while you are offline. Make some file search options faster by eliminating redundant network calls in ASTRO. Enjoy better file searches or file browsing experiences even in areas with spotty or slow network coverage. Kill tasks or processes that kill battery life (Task Killer Tool) and easily backup apps (App Backup Tool) in case you lose or change phones. ASTRO supports 11 languages including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Russian and Portuguese.

ASTRO APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of ASTRO for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 5.0 or later. Version 6.3.0 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 4.0 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 6.3.0 · All versions

Does ASTRO need Google Play services?

Yes. The APK declares Google Play services as required, so it may not work on phones without them, such as recent Huawei models.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the ASTRO APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the 2 other versions checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 3493b5783bad84752b86bfeed6af543a.
