hello fellow xda,
This is kinda my first post on xda and i just wanna share a way you could hide folders easily on your android device without download folder or file hiding tools plus, someone probably a nosy sister, brother girlfriend et.c. browsing your phone will think you have nothing to hide....
NOTE: i put NOOB on the title because some of you probably know this and someone with android knowledge would probably know this trick......BUT dat someone must be pretty serious with you to search for hidden folders and files.
OKAY ENOUGH RAMBLING HERE ARE THE STEPS........
1.) go to file manager on your android
2.) go to the folder you want to hide
3.) try renaming the folder with the new name starting with dot '.' e.g. you have a folder named "personal videos", rename it to ".personal videos"....
4.) tap OK or SAVE to make this change, and BAM! the folder is gone, you can check all your videos too.....those videos in that file are gone too.
5.) but nt to worry you can see those videos by going to file manager
6.) go to options(in some androids you'll go to settings in that file manager) you'll see the "SHOW HIDDEN FILES" option, TiCK it and go back
7.) there you have your folder (e.g ".personal videos" folder) back
8.) you can hide it again by going to settings or options in your file manager and UNTICKING or UNMARKING the "show hidden files" option......
NOTE: although not guaranteed, i still liked the idea that this way people will think you have nothing to hide than when you have a folder locking app, you can hide the app but people seems to know how to check for hidden apps nowadays ·............
i know you might know this process but please encourage me THANKS.
Many of the users use ES file explorer as file manager its just not a file manager it can do as well as has many tools.
Many of the users might know this technique. Some of them don't so just thought of sharing this technique.
This technique/tool was suggested from a friend. I m just sharing.
This technique can only be used in ES file explorer version 3 and above
This technique uses wifi hotspot and wi-fi. Its more faster than bluetooth you can even send 500 mb of files easily
It works even in unrooted phones.
Needed:
ES file explorer in both phones.
Wi-fi hotspot and wi fi working.
As you know as there are two phones so one is receiver another is sender.
So in order to send a file to receiver the receiver has to create a hot spot
For receiver:
1.Open ES file explorer
2. Scroll to tools.(You can get it by tapping on options button right side of your home button)
3 Tap on it.
4. Scroll down you will see net manger.
5. Tap on it
6. Tap on Create a hotspot network
7. Hot spot will be created named(ex: ES_5614) and password for that will be displayed.
8. Done from receiver side
For sender:
1. Open ES file explorer.
2. Select the file my long pressing on it.
3. Tap on more.
4. You will see a option of send tap on it.
5. Then you will see a page of create a hotspot network & Join a network.
6. As you are the sender you have to tap on join a network
7. It will find the name of the hotspot(ex. ES_5614) tap on it and enter the password.
8. It will now join. You can see in the status bar.
9. It will go back to previous page.
10. Now again tap on send.
11. You will see the name of the phone.
12. Tap on it.
13. Receiver will get a notification. Select the folder and select ok.
14. File transfer will start.
For sender to be receiver follow the steps for receiver and vice versa.
You have successfully send a huge file at fast speed without the need of bluetooth.
In Sense based Roms
In some sense based roms the hotspot doesnt start from ES file explorer due to some security issues done by HTC.
Still you can send files through ES file explorer.
All you have to do is:
For Receiver:
1. Go to settings
2. Enter a password..
3. Create a hotspot.
3. Done.
For Sender:
1.Go to settings
2.Start you wi fi
3.Connect to the hotspot(Created by Receiver)
4. Connect to the hotspot.
5. You will see connected status in status bar.
6. Done.
Now both Receiver and sender open es file explorer.
For Sender:
1. Long press on the file you want to send.
2. Tap on send (You will get it by tapping on more)
3. You will see the phones name.
4. Select it. File transfer will start.
5. Done.
For receiver:
1.Accept the request
2.Select the folder. Select OK. File transfer starts
3.Done
You have successfully transfered files between ES file explorer.
Great discovery bro!!
Till now i never knew that es file explorer had that wifi file sharing option..
I was so frustrated using those flash transfer , Xender, etc apps.... they would make my pico reboot every time i tried to start them.. :crying:
but Thanks to u I got another better option..
Please keep on sharing such great things with us bro :laugh: :highfive:
This works with the Kindle as well. Install ESFile Explorer from the kindle store and transfer away. I use this to put apps on the Kindle that are only in the Google Play store (Clash of Clans for instance). After transferring just open the apk and install it. Make sure to tick the option in settings to install from unknown sources.
Did a new thread here other than this one

I managed to get an FTP sever running on my gwatch r using ES file explorer (yes it does work on wear and with root access as well if you are rooted)
I found it useful for transferring files to and from the watch to my phone LG G 3 obviously it's much faster than the other methods of Bluetooth file transfer I came accross. I also managed to do all this without touching a p.c just my phone, watch and a wifi connection.
If anyone is interested in how I did this then leave a reply and if enough people are interested I'll make a guide laugh
Sorry about the delay in getting this up lots going at work and home lately
Please read carefully as you can brick your device while playing in TWRP and I will not be held responsible for any damage caused by using this Guide.
Pre-requisites
Android device/phone (I’ll be using An LG G3 D855) or Tablet Rooted with ES file explorer and Wear media installed (play store)
Android wear device (I’ll be using a G-watch R) with root/unlocked bootloader? and TWRP installed
Wifi access point/router (your home wifi)
First of all we need to get ES file explorer on to the watch.
There are a few ways to do this (ADB ect) but I am trying to do these instruction without using a PC.
Using ES file explorer on you android device ensure root access mode is enabled (Slide from the left of the screen and scroll down to ‘Root Explorer’ and switch on) Then go to Local--- /Device/data/app Locate the ES file Explorer .APK and copy the file to another folder that doesn’t require root access ie Downloads folder
Ensure your Wear device is connected to your Android device and open Wear media on your Phone/Tablet.
Click on the picture of the Watch at the top and choose a non root destination folder for the .APK
Then click on the picture of the Phone at the top and locate the ES file Explorer .APK and click transfer/copy this will the put the .APK on your watch but not install it.
Now to install ES on your watch
Now go to your watch and reboot into recovery (TWRP)
Click mount and ensure System has an X next to it by clicking on it
Click advanced and File explorer Locate the ES .APK (mine is called something like com. Estrongs.android.pop) in the wear media destination folder you chose earlier
Click the file and click copy
Navigate to System/app and paste the .APK into this folder
Go to Wipe Advanced wipe and select Davlik Cache and Cache then swipe to wipe and reboot your device
Es should then be installed on your watch
Open the app on your watch open the menu and scroll to near the bottom and turn on root explorer and turn off gestures (there really annoying on a watch)
Then find Network and click Net manager to turn on the wifi on your watch and let it connect to your wifi access point
Just above should be Remote manager click on this and then ‘Turn on’ (this should then enable FTP access to your watch. If your go back to the watch face you should see a notification that an FTP server is running and it will give the IP address ie 192.168.xxx
Now open ES on your Phone (ensure connected to same network as the watch) open the menu and scroll to network and choose FTP
Click new at the bottom then FTP
For Server enter the address your watch is showing (192.168.xxx) tick Anonymous box
Choose a name for the device in ‘display as’ field and click ok. (please note the default port is 21 and should work in most cases but if the notification on your watch has a different port number ie 192.168.0.2:3721 use the numbers after the : so in this case I would enter 3721 into the port box under the Server part 8n ES and not leave the default of 21.
This should test the connection when you click ok
If all has worked you should now be able to click on the FTP you just created and it will show the files and folders on the watch. You can now use this to transfer files between your Phone and watch at a decent speed? ( I do backups on the watch using TWRP and transfer these to my phone or home server which also has an FTP service setup in ES)
Done
This was thrown together in about 10mins So I know it’s a bit rough. I would like to add screen shots at some point and if there are any errors you spot please let me know and I will correct ASAP (I’m sure there are loads lol)
Please also let me know if this worked for you
I would say most people would be interested so it'd would be good if you shared.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using XDA Free mobile app
FTP on a watch? lol that sounds amazing. I am interested in hearing out how you did this.
We are waiting for u
waitting
nice idea.
Sorry guys thanks for the positive response been really busy of late will try to get some basic instructions up this weekend
awesome.
gotta try it tomorrow
You can also run Airdroid app on your watch over wifi. You can upload/download files and install apks using webinterface. The tricky part is to read the port number and ip address that it displays when the app is launched. On the phone this app can do much more than that.
