File Explorer
File Explorer makes the task of managing the files and folders on your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ a breeze. The application presents an expandable Folder Tree, Breadcrumb style navigation bar and folder contents with three viewing styles – Thumbnail, List and Details views. The application sports a familiar file manager UI which makes it easy to use it.
This feature rich, yet easy to use application allows you to explore your entire file system (not just the documents folder). The breadcrumb navigation bar clearly depicts the documents folder as safe and the system folders as unsafe using different colors for these regions of the application.
The application recognizes the common file types such as Images, Videos, Music, Documents, Spreadsheets, PDF files, etc and lists them using appropriate icons. Thumbnail views display a preview of Image files. You can view the basic information about the selected files or launch files using its default application from within the application.
The application allows you to perform the key tasks such as copy, move, rename and delete files and folders with ease.
