File Explorer

File Explorer

Browse and manage files on connected Android devices.

Overview

The Device Files panel in the Caspian sidebar shows the filesystem of the currently selected device. It starts at the root (/) and loads directories on demand as you expand them.

Device Selection

The file explorer automatically selects the first connected device. When multiple devices are connected, the file explorer uses whichever device was auto-selected on connection.

Browsing

• Click a folder to expand and load its contents
• Directories are listed first, then files (alphabetical)
• Each entry shows:
  • File name
  • File size (for files)
  • Icon (folder, file, or symlink)

Downloading Files

• Right-click a file → Download File from Device
• Choose a local save location
• Uses adb pull

Uploading Files

• Click the upload button in the Device Files title bar
• Select a local file
• Enter the remote destination path (defaults to /sdcard/)
• Uses adb push

Deleting Files

• Right-click a file or folder → Delete File on Device
• Confirmation prompt before deletion
• Directories are removed recursively (rm -rf)

Permissions

Some directories (e.g., /data/) require root access. If you see permission errors, the device needs to be rooted or you need to use adb root first.
