Finally. So sick of using much worse file explorers on my Shield (I'm looking at you, ES)

Thank you

To sum up what everyone posted here....

Do I have to side load it, or does it show up on my shield?

They need to make the plus Add-on installable on Android TV as well. Ugh.

Leanback launcher icon is there too.. Just checked and all is good, pretty sweet!

Can't figure out how to install it. Doesn't show up on ATV's Play Store, and can't install it from another computer via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx&hl=en_US

How does this compare with X-plore which I'm very happy with (had to downgrade to 3.98 though)?

My Shield says it's installed but it won't show on my home screen and when I use voice control the open button that shows doesn't do anything

Anyone willing to up the beta apk so that we don't need to join the community?

Just loaded it and its not showing on my home screen. My "what's new" in Google play is different to the image as well? Doesn't say anything about android tv. What version are you using OP? Latest available update I have is 7.0.3.0

Edit: fixed it by opting into the Beta.

Im disappointed with Solid Explorer on ATV, its a straight port of the mobile app, cant do basic things easily i.e hide the left menu as thats a swipe function.
