About File Navigator

File Navigator is an open source Android app that watches shared storage for new files and helps move them to the folders where they belong. Rules can distinguish between file types and between sources such as the camera, screenshots, downloads, recordings, and other apps. Files can be moved by hand from a notification or handled automatically by a rule. Completed operations are recorded in a move history.

The app supports Android 11 and newer. Android restricts access to app-private storage, so File Navigator works only with files exposed through shared storage and Android's media and document APIs.

Key features

  • Notifications for new matching files, with move, open, or delete actions
  • Quick Move to frequently used destination folders with a single action
  • Auto Move that routes new files to configured folders without further interaction
  • Source-specific rules for camera photos, screenshots, recordings, downloads, and other apps
  • Built-in and custom file types, with configurable extensions for non-media types
  • Batch moving of several active navigation notifications to one destination
Best for: Android users who want new files in shared storage sorted into chosen folders, either by hand from a notification or automatically.
