File Miner 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 File Miner APK safe?

Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 141 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is be0ea5e2b6534cb71d72ffffcf7c96e2.
