FileScout is a file explorer for BlackBerry smartphones. In addition to its core functionality (browse the file system, create directories, copy, move, rename, zip, unzip, delete files, or open your media files directly, FileScout also allows you to open text files (including .ini, .xml, etc.) so you are able to edit, copy, and paste text segments of text.
Additionally FileScout allows you to manipulate images (resize & rotate), easily save and access your favorites, search for files, create playlists across multiple folders, send files via email or Bluetooth, archive your SMS & eMails and capture device screenshots.
FileScoutLite - the free alternative
In the past FileScout was available as Donationware. This concept was not understood by the majority of the users and as consequence FileScout now needs a Registration Code in order to use the full functionality of the application. As alternative a free FileScoutLite Version is offered. FileScoutLite is providing the basic file manager functionality. For the free FileScoutLite version no Registration Code is required. Simply download the FileScout Trial version and select Use free lite Version within the application.
