Components

OI File Manager is a tool that lets you manage the content on your SD card and phone internal memory more easily from your Android terminal. You can create directories and copy or delete every kind of file..

Proposal

given the sensitivity of some of the file we carry around with our phone every day, i propose that a security option should be introduced to the app. from the setting page under advance features, another feature i.e. SECURE YOUR FOLDERS. This option should come between 'exclude from media scan and show all warnings. and like other options there, the SECURE YOUR FOLDERS option should have a check box so as when checked, a create a password dialog box will pop up, and there you will create your personalized password. so when that is done, to secure a given folder, just long press a given folder, then click on the 3 doted line at the top right hand side of the window that pops up (password option should be added there too), then check the password box. to open the passworded folder, just tap on the folder and the enter password box will pop up, then enter your password, and then the folder opens.
