*** FX PLUS IS ON SALE FOR $1.99: A popular “free” competitor to FX just added lockscreen adware to their app. So enjoy a “buck off” the regular price of FX Plus to tell that competitor the same. FX–free or paid–has no ads/adware/bundled garbage. ***

FX File Explorer 5 features a Material Design UI and new ways to transfer your files between devices and computers:

* New “FX Connect” transfers files from phone-to-phone with Wi-Fi Direct. Supports NFC to connect two phones by physically touching their backs together. (requires FX+)
* New “Web Access” enables transfer and management of files and media from your computer’s web browser. You can drag-and-drop entire folders to your phone from your computer, or stream your phone’s music playlists to your computer over Wi-Fi. (requires FX+)
