Window Management

FX supports the concept of multiple windows, much like a desktop PC. Using multiple windows can be useful in situations where you are dealing with more than one location, e.g. when copying files between your Android device and the cloud. Due to the more limited screen real-estate of a handheld device, only one window is normally shown at a time.

Use the drawer menu at the top left to create and/or manage windows. You can either tap on the three lines in the corner, or slide your finger from the left edge of the screen toward the right to activate it. When opened, this menu will show a list of all open windows. If you tap the floating "+" option next to the list of windows, a new window will be opened showing the "Home Screen." To switch between windows, simply open the drawer and tap the desired window. Windows may be closed by tapping the "X" adjacent to them.

Split View

You can view two FX windows at the same time by opening the drawer menu and selecting "Split View". This mode can also be activated by placing your finger on FX's "Location Bar" at the top of the screen and dragging it downward. Once activated, you can drag the split up/down (when in portrait orientation) or left/right (in landscape) to resize the two windows.

Gesture Shortcuts

Many window management features can be accessed by swiping/dragging on the screen in various ways:
