Files Shortcut

Very grateful for this "app". It does exactly what I need it to do: open the "Files" app that is already a part of Android. Nothing more, nothing less. (Sad that this is even necessary; a big 👎 to whoever in Google and/or Motorola that decided to make native Files not only hidden but unable to be marked as visible.) Thank you Delta 8 for making a workable solution! 👍

This works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S22 (Android 13). I could not access any of the hidden system/app files even with them turned on. After hours of researching others with the same problem, the Samsung Ambassadors were saying we needed to root it in order to access those files which I refuse to do. I found an article of someone having success on their Pixel 6 Pro with this, so I tried it and voila! I now have access to all hidden files without needing to root my phone. Tyvm!

This app can show other app's data files, lets you edit it without root access, ONLY if the other app has been embedded with 'Documents Provider' properties. Useful if you want to edit or save files from the Shared_Prefs folder of that other app.
