Es File Explorer Not On Play Store
Anna Pybus
I am trying to delete an aab file that clashes with my current version of the build. ( with respect to version code).With the old style google play console, I was able to delete the artifacts that caused the clash. Now I am unable to find anything that allows me to delete the old artifact, even in the app bundle explorer.Any one has any idea how to delete the old artifacts which are not needed or causing issues?
You can see in the example above that the "Delete APK" button appears because, even though the APK is in a release, that release is still in a draft. In that case, you would need to first remove the APK (or App Bundle) from the release, save the release (important!), then go back to the App bundle explorer and click that "Delete APK" button again.
If your APK or App Bundle has already been released to a track (even in a testing track at 1%), then you cannot delete the artifact. It will remain permanently in the Play Console. As far as I know, this is the same behaviour in the both old and new Play Console.
ES File Explorer is a file manager/explorer designed by ES Global, a subsidiary of DO Global, for Android devices. It includes features like cloud storage integration, file transfer from Android to Windows via FTP or LAN,[1] and a root browser. It was removed from the Google Play Store for committing click fraud.
In the early 2010s, ES File Explorer was equipped with then extraordinary features well beyond that of vendors' pre-installed file managers, which popularized the application before it developed into adware.
The functionality included range selection, tabbed browsing, bookmarking directories, ability to create home screen shortcuts to items (files and folders), ability to create new blank files, three viewing modes for items (grid, basic list, and detailed list), where detailed list previews modification dates, file sizes, and listed folders' file counts; three on-display size levels for items; file transfers in background, FTP server hosting, network protocol client (ability to connect to other FTP, WebDav and SMB servers), Bluetooth file sharing, ability to manually select an application to open a file with[a], ability to automatically rename files during transfer in case of a file name conflict[b] and merge directories, detailed statistics during file transfer[c], a built-in text editor with UTF-8 support, media player interface (video player and music player with playback controls[d] and playlisting), image viewer and gallery browser, download manager, drag and drop support, bulk file renaming (adding prefix, changing extension and numbering), disk usage analysis, ZIP archive file creation and browsing, recycle bin (like Microsoft Windows Explorer) and the ability to define touch pattern shortcuts (gestures), ability to filter searches by date, size range, category (photo, audio, video, APK, and documents), and file type, ability to select multiple files from search results, ability to navigate to files' parent directory from search results, generation of MD5 and SHA-1 hash sums from files, ability to copy the full path of a selected file or folder into the clipboard, quick navigation history (list of recently opened files and directories), ability to install custom themes, ability to redirect shareable content into a file[e], and the ability list installed apps and to back them up Android application package (APK) files. A detail window which shows the total separate count of files and folders within a directory and their total size as both human-readable value and byte count to allow for an exact size verification after copying files.[2][3][4][5][6] Since a 2015 version, files can be encrypted in a proprietary format named ES lock.[7][8]
Another early feature to allow the selection of many files and folders without the need to tap on each file individually was range selection, where only two items need to be highlighted to select all listed items inbetween.[9]
Around May 2016, ES File Explorer began incorporating DU Charge Booster into the app, hijacking the user's lockscreen. Several news and blog websites such as AndroidPIT, which had once recommended the app, encouraged users to uninstall it.[10][11][12][13] It was removed later after much criticism and many bad reviews.[14]
Though ES File Explorer had originally been a freeware program, the app later converted into shareware. It began charging a monthly $9.99 fee in order to use its more advanced features, towards the end of 2019.
ES File Explorer was removed from the Google Play Store in April 2019, along with several other apps created by DO Global (formerly DU Group).[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][11] It was reported by BuzzFeed News.[20][21][22][24][25][26][11]
It was claimed the company who owns ES File Explorer, DO Global, was committing 'click fraud' by clicking ads in users' apps in the background without permission.[16][17][18][26][11] DO Global responded to these claims with the following:
ES File Explorer is a great tool for managing files and programs. It comes with many additional features, such as a tool for killing running applications, direct cloud drive storage (via Dropbox, Google Drive, or Skydrive), and an FTP client to use on your mobile device and your PC.
The app allows any Android user to manage all of their resources easily, access anything on their mobile device, and then share it if they so want to. Uploading photos, watching movies, and managing your 3G connection are now even easier.
When working with your files, you will have the classic options you are accustomed to on desktop computers, such as copy, paste, cut, create, delete, and rename. But, you can also send files to anybody via email.
ES File Explorer was removed from the Google Play Store in April 2019, along with the rest of the apps from DO Global. The app automatically clicked on advertising banners to increase revenue, which goes against Google's usage policy.
There are lots of alternatives to ES File Explorer if you're looking for the best file explorer app. Some of these include Google Files, CX File Explorer, FX File Explorer, and File Manager by Xiaomi.
