If you want to browse through the files of your Droid 2, you don’t need to rely on your PC or Mac—you can use the Droid 2’s Files app. From the Application Tray, tap Files to launch it.
To browse your SD card, tap the Phone files icon, and a file manager opens. Tap “Phone files” to browse the files on your SD card, in much the same way that you can browse remotely using Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder.
Note
When you run the Files app, you also see a “Shared folders” choice. To use the shared folders feature you need to connect to a media server via Wi-Fi. Check your media server’s documentation for setting up a server, including passwords and user names. Once you know the server’s name, password, and user name, you can connect to the media server from the Files app’s shared folders feature.
You see the name and date of creation of each folder, as well as the number of items in it. Tap any folder to open it, and then tap any file to open it—view a photo, play a piece of music, and so on, using the Droid 2’s various built-in apps.
Hold your finger on a folder, and you get a menu of options for file and folder management:
To create a new folder, when you’re viewing a list of folders, tap the Menu key, select “New folder”, type its name, and then tap OK. To select multiple folders and move or delete them all, tap the Menu key; checkboxes appear next to all folders. Tap any folders you want to select for moving or deleting, and then tap Move or Delete from the menu.
When you hold your finger on a file, you get the same Open, Delete, Rename, Copy, Move, and Info options, plus Share, which lets you send the file to a friend via email or text message.
To select multiple files to move or delete, when you’re in a folder viewing a file list, press the Menu key. Empty checkboxes appear next to all files in the list. Tap any files you want to select for moving or deleting, and then tap Move or Delete on the menu.
