Android Private File Manager for Commercial development
The Challenge
Manage related content securely within a single Android app
Description
Stash-It! is an “all in one” private file manager, tabbed browser and downloader for Android, designed to keep content safe from prying eyes, but with multiple content types co-located, e.g. for a client or project.
While all these functions are available independently in other apps, Stash-It! is the only one which brings them together in one place. Stash-It! encrypts the names of files so that they can’t be read, and won’t be visible to your tablet’s gallery and similar applications. The content of your files is untouched, so there’s no risk of losing data.
There are built in viewers for most common image and movie formats, plus PDF and web files, so you don’t have to move these outside the application to view them. However when you do need to use an external application Stash-It! has a full suite of import and export functions to move your files or open them with other applications.
