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 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.

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

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
