File Explorer Integration
Though this tool has its lightweight file explorer for providing easy access to your gallery and personal data, it also provides strong integration with your device’s built-in file manager (OR any third-party file manager). For instance on ES File Explorer select one or multiple files and go to Share > Shreddit, the app will take all those files as input and shred them.
