About File Explorer Pro
File Explorer transforms Chrome's plain file:// directory listings into
a powerful, visual file browser — right in your browser, everything local right on your device, no data is sent anywhere.
FEATURES
• Grid and list views with infinite scroll
• Instant search across all files and folders
• Filter by type: Images, Videos, Audio, Documents, Code, Archives
• Sort by name, size, date modified, or type (asc/desc)
• Media viewer with image & video previews, rotation, and keyboard nav
• Thumbnail previews for images and videos
• Breadcrumb navigation to jump between parent folders
• Live stat bar showing counts per file type
• Light, dark, and system theme — persisted across sessions
• Full keyboard shortcut set (Ctrl+F, G/L, 1-9, Shift+?, [ ], ←/→)
HOW IT WORKS
The extension automatically activates on any file:// directory page and
overlays the File Explorer UI over Chrome's native listing. All
processing is local — no file contents or metadata are ever sent to any
server.
IMPORTANT AFTER INSTALL
Open the extension Details and enable "Allow access to file URLs" —
this is required for the extension to read local directories.
