Talk:ES File Explorer
I removed the link to MediaFire in the "See also" section since 1. MediaFire is not mentioned in the page and 2. is not similar to ES File Explorer - an App specializing in file management, but rather MediaFire is a "file hosting, file synchronization, and cloud storage service" [1] and file upload and sharing app "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediafire.android&hl=en_US" Jdmumma (talk) 00:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- I agree. Link to the edit you made: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ES_File_Explorer&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=967232562&oldid=967200342 --User123o987name (talk) 02:01, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
ES File Explorer zip encryption
ES File Explorer can make encrypted files:
- .eslock - apparently this can be decrypted without a password, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsxEu2D2O_E and https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-decrypt-an-encrypted-ES-explorer-file-without-the-password
- .zip - might have a government backdoor and be decrypted without a password
It is pure speculation on my part that zip files encrypted with ES File Explorer can be decrypted without a password, but it is a question worth asking. Can the encryption of this sorta sketchy consumer-tier-crap Chinese app really be trusted (assuming the encryption is protected by an actually good password)? --User123o987name (talk) 02:01, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, pure, unwarranted and wrong speculation here. A ZIP file is a ZIP file, it does not matter what app/program you use to create it. Any back doors are only in your head. ;) Try better next time! :) Naki (talk) 17:30, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
