THIS IS THE ONE OF THE BEST FILES SHORTCUT WIDGET EVER, THRU THE ENTIRE RECENT ANDROID VERSIONS. SO LIGHT-WEIGHED, SUPER FAST. JUST WHAT I WANT !
★★★★★
Perfect for as simple as it is! Android should just have this feature already built in but it doesn't. For work I have tons of PDF files organized by folders but no way to access them. This is the only solution I've ever found! I wish we could get an update for Android 11 because a 2x2 icon is annoying and in summer versions of 10 it's 1x2.
★★★★★
Good app which does what it is intended to do. The only short coming is the "folder" is only able to detect files in the device internal storage. User unable change folder directory to point to external SD storage. Perhaps a paid premium version can provide this feature?
★★☆☆☆
Can't get it to recognize external SD card, so can"t set a shortcut to anything saved there. Works okay for folders in internal device storage. App not updated since 2012. Uninstall.
★★☆☆☆
Rather than being easy to use and AD free I don't know what's the purpose of putting a shortcut to a folder if it opens in a floating window! Why can't it just make a damn folder shortcut which will open the damn folder with my already installed file manager!!? Who cares to browse their files in a floating window in 2020!? Hello developer/s, 2010 is calling you.
★★☆☆☆
Literally doesn't work. It crashes every time I try to add the widget.
