Manage your Koofr files with FE File Explorer on your Android devices

[Updated, Oct 2023: There is only a paid FE File Explorer Pro available].

The FE File Explorer is a file manager application for macOS, iOS, Android and tvOS devices. It can access files on your computer, NAS devices and your cloud storage accounts. With it, you can view and manage your documents, files and photos without downloading them.
