1: Old recent files were more convenient. now I downloaded files from different places, and now look for them, in which folder they are located, to move them to the folder I need 2: But the whole app is constantly slow when transferring files? It has been slow since the beginning of using the smartphone. Why? It took 17 seconds from the moment i clicked for 25 files of 50mb to move.

Alright, pretty good, but here is how it can be better: I use this as my default media player because YouTube is terrible, and the naming issues are too literal. I had to reorganize my audio (music) files names so they would fit into the categories better. Plus, and this one is important, please make the shuffle button better. Out of 1200 songs, it will only shuffle between about 100 of them unless I select a new song more than 100 songs away. Oh, and please add a way to filter files by artist.

Please reduce the time that increases (in seconds) after drawing an incorrect pattern on the Safe Folder, because every time someone else draws an incorrect pattern, the time (in seconds) to unlock the folder increases, forcing a user to wait 'forever' before they could draw the correct pattern. You could limit it to only thirty seconds, like on the normal lock screen pattern.
