RippleFiles - File Manager is a file management application for Android, built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 Expressive design. It helps you browse, organize, search, and manage files stored locally on your device and, optionally, in your Google Drive account — all from one clean, ad-free interface.
RippleFiles lets you view and manage files stored on your Android device: browsing folders, searching by name or type, viewing images/PDFs/text files, renaming files in bulk, restoring deleted files from a recycle bin, and seeing a visual breakdown of what's using your storage.
Optionally, if you sign in with your Google Account, RippleFiles also lets you browse, open, copy, and delete files stored in your own Google Drive — directly alongside your local files — so you don't need to switch between apps to manage both.
If you choose to connect your Google Account, RippleFiles requests the Google Drive scope so that it can display your Drive files inside the app and carry out the file actions you initiate yourself — opening, copying, or deleting a file. RippleFiles does not access your Drive automatically or in the background; every action is one you explicitly start inside the app.
| Data requested | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google Drive files (view, create, copy, delete) | To display your Drive files in-app and perform the file action you request — e.g. copying or deleting a specific file you selected. |
| Basic Google profile (name, email) | To show which Google Account is currently connected, and to let you sign out or switch accounts. |
RippleFiles never sees or stores your Google Account password. Your Drive files stay in your Google Drive — RippleFiles does not copy or upload them to any developer-owned server.
RippleFiles only accesses the files and storage locations you explicitly grant permission to. Full details on what data is requested, why, and how it's handled are in the Privacy Policy below.
