Astro Android App is a File Manager for the Android OS. It allows you to manage files on your phone without the need for a computer. Operations you can perform: copy, paste, move, delete, open with other apps, create and folders, etc. What’s convenient about Astro File Manager is the ability to select multiple files to perform actions. Another convenient feature is the ability to Search for files. The app also provides details on Android apps such as package name, version, file size, and even app activities.
ASTRO File Manager Android App features the ability to backup Android Apps to SD card… a band-aid for the loud public cry from Android users who want to free up low internal phone memory without Rooting the phone. This means you can backup the installer files (APK) on your SD Card, then you can uninstall the app. Thus freeing up space but removing the app. To reuse the app, you will have to reinstall the app from the backup.
Astro File Manager Android App is very useful for managing your files on your phone while mobile. The app is intuitive and has all the characteristics of file management software.
Frequency of use is user dependant, typically on demand for average users. More demanding for developers or “Root” users who can access and manipulate virtually any file on their phone as Rooted phones have broken the security protection consumer phones have.
The user interface is list based or you change the views to; Details, Icons, Thumbnail List and Thumbnail Icon views. Astro File Manager Android App does a great job of pulling icons for files.

[...] Astro. Een file manager heb je wel nodig om op de SD card bestandjes te verwijderen, hernoemen, aanklikken e.d. Raar dat dat er niet standaard in zit. Ik hoorde van de IO file manager, maar iemand zei dat Astro iets meer kon, dus die maar genomen. Doet wat ‘t moet doen: kopiëren, verzetten, hernoemen en als je bijv een mp3 aanklikt speelt hij hem af. Zo heb ik al een heel audiobook afgeluisterd. Vanuit Astro zou je een file moeten kunnen verzenden, maar die optie geeft de toolbar niet. Hij kan ‘t echter wel: longclick op een file en dan krijg je de keuze tot verzenden. Je moet dus niet eerst een email opmaken en dan de bijlage willen toevoegen; want die optie zit er niet in jammer genoeg. [...]

I have it but, I don’t see how useful it is. i dont need toput apps onmy sd card. I only want to manage my music and pics and, just get confused on this. But, it seems pretty cool
I cannot save my text files anymore. Says “error. file could not be saved”. I make quick notes on notepad txt files and suddenly I cannot save after last updated.
Try AndroXplorer, my favorite application.
I want to like this app but I need more training on it. So far though, it’s powerful.
Once the apps are backed up they no longer update. Has anyone found out how to overcome this?
A must have for G1 users… I can backup my apps, install apps, zip or unzip. it even has the abilty to move or copy files or send. I luv the list view but has more options. When i backup more apps due to the low internal memory on the G1 i can see which ones are out of date, which are colored in red. select those apps to backup again… boom!! ZaP! POW! your new version is backed up.
5stars *****
I’ve had issues when trying to view an attached .doc file in an email. After I uninstall the app, I can view the .doc using the HTML viewer. I wold like to use it, but I need to be able to view email attachments.
I just downloaded it in an attempt to delete ringtones. I can find the *&^%ing default ringtones but when attempting to delete a ringtone, I just get “Error Deleting File” … everytime. When I click on details, I found they’re all -r- (readonly). On a PC, I’d use ATTRIB -R. But I can’t find how to do this on the GGGggggg phone.
Problem I saw with Astro File Manager on HTC Hero (sprint) with 8gb SDHC card. After renaming a directory, the app kept looking for it and throwing up an error message. Message indicated it could not find the original directory name after it had been renamed. Taking out SD Card (unmount) and reinserting after closing Astro made no difference when restarting Astro. Perhaps there is a bug??
Thanks
Peter
Worked fine – then suddenly I cannot open the folder I created. Nothing happens when I click on it. Bug.
I used Linda File Manager one year ago, later changed to Astro. I found ES File Explorer, after I’m tired of the trial period of Astro. Now I know the decision is so right, that’s just what I need.
All good software, though.
Great app but it blocked me from viewing a picture in a pix message. Uninstalled and I can see pix again. Bug in the software. Droid Eris
I have installed the app and found the startup sound that is just annoying, is it safe to delete this file using astro?
try to send files via bluetooth but keeps say file unknown…… help!!!!
Anyone else getting the “beta will expire in 3 days” message when you load up the app??
The app does this when there is a new version of the app available. Update it from the Market to get rid of the message else it will get really annoying and make you wait 30 seconds every time to load the app until you update it. The developer enforces this within the app to make sure every user has the latest stable version.
Not true. Today on Mar 29, 2010 it is saying it will expire in 3 days but my Moto Droid shows no updates available in Market. Bug?
I would hate to lose this very-useful little app.
nobody knows the answer we have the same problem
On my hero it says that astro will expire in 3 days, but there is no update what can I do?
Please can someone tell me what to do 2 days left and still no backup to be seen
try to rename a folder and it end up deleting all my photo and i couldn’t even open songs with my player… definitely bugged… use it at your own risk… HTC HERO
I think this is a great app for backing up my apps when I need to do factory reset but haven’t found much use for it otherwise. I have also used it to move around files when I’m out and about and have no access to a PC.
HTC Hero user
Does anybody have any idea how i get this on my mobile without internet connections on my mobile :S i would love to have this on my hero
Having the same problem.. Couldn’t send out a ringtone.. kept saying unknown location or something..
Downloaded it few days ago and now it says it has expired, with annoying
dumb message that wouldn’t close. What useless piece of junk.
Junk. It is now ‘expired’ and crashes when you start it. I’ll probably have to re-install it. sucks.
It expires every so often. You would have to upgrade from the Market.
when i want install a big app hey say your mobile memory is full but my sd is 16gb how can i change that
Go to Settings menu » SD card & phone storage. What does it say under Internal phone storage for Available space?
when i open an image in astro 2.4.2 using the android gallery, the arrows used to switch between images are gone and slideshow doesn’t work. it was all ok in previous astro versions. did anyone else notice this?
How can I use your task killer function, please teach me. thanks
HTC EVO 2.2 Froyo (not rooted) – The issue I just encounter was upgrading to a new microSD card and it doesn’t see it. I’ve tried remounting, I naturally reinstalled it, but nothing I do will display the contents of my card (and yes it has lots of data on it). I bought the Pro version (before the upgrade) so that is what I’m using. Nothing I have attempted thus far has worked so I’m at a loss.
Any ideas?
@zentsang: What type of microSD card did you buy?
i can not download ASTRO File Manager help me plz
HTC wildfire , this has even no file manager. It sucks. Maybe in somebody buys in in the first month but later no sale. This phone really sucks.
I would Love, Love to be able to unzip & unrar on a local PC, using the WLAN plugin. That would rock!!
Thanks for the info on this file manager.
I’ll give it a try.
in Froyo this app does not show apk icon in preview mode
who has put dis information …….he don’t even know we can copy,move,cut ,paste whatever any shit no matter …is possible without his/her ASTRO ….why just fill our memory wid dis piece of shit…
love this little app. I’ve had to recently get a new Samsung Fascinate from verizon because my old Fascinate’s earpiece speaker was blown. I’m currently going thru re-installing all my apps, very handy when you have 11pages of apps. So far there were about 4 or 5 apps that said private and would not let me back them up so I will have to get them from the marketplace again but its looking very promising so far.
i dont want to download from barcode can anyone tell me how can i download direct to my pc…..
coz my barcode is not working properly….. ple help me…
Why not just search for it on the market using the keyword “ASTRO”?
HTC desire , this has even no file manager. It sucks. Maybe in somebody buys in in the first month but later no sale. This phone really sucks.
Just learn to use it man. Just learn to use it. It’s a great phone.
