How to Use Files&Folders Lite

Open a folder, stream a movie from OneDrive, unzip an archive, and queue up a playlist — all without leaving a single app. If you want one dependable place to organise, browse, and play everything on your device, this is it.

Launch the app and browse your local drives or connect a cloud account
Tap any archive to open or extract it — RAR, ZIP, 7z, ISO and more are supported
Open a photo, document, or video directly in the built-in viewer without leaving the app
Pin your most-used folders to Favorites or snap them to the Start Screen for quick return
Start a music playlist and let audio continue in the background while you keep working

Controls

Navigate with a mouse, keyboard shortcuts, or a controller on Xbox One. Hotkey commands are available throughout for faster file operations.

Tips & Tricks

Connect Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Yandex Disk, and FTP all at once — they appear side by side so you can move files between clouds in a few taps
Use compact overlay mode to keep a video or image floating in a corner while you continue managing files elsewhere on screen
The equalizer in the audio player lets you tune playback to your headphones or speakers rather than settling for flat sound
Enable autorun so the app opens automatically whenever you plug in a USB drive or flash card — no manual launching needed
