About this APK
B1 File Manager is an app by Victor in the Tools category, listed since at least August 2019. It includes native code only for ARM (legacy) and ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
It asks for 21 permissions, 5 of them sensitive, including read phone status and identity, find accounts on the device and read shared storage.

B1 File Manager APK: questions and answers
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 B1 File Manager APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is cccb49d0f077e8a5af3544bdb75bf5b7.
