Android 6.0 Marshmallow is filled with hidden features. We’ve already told you about its secret “System UI Tuner,” and now a built-in file manager that lets you organize your photos, music, documents, downloads, and more has been discovered.

Here’s how you can access it.

Just like the System UI Tuner, Marshmallow’s file manager is incredibly easy to access, with no need for root access or third-party tweaks. Simply follow the steps below.

  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Tap “Storage and USB”
  3. Tap “Explore”

You’re now inside Marshmallow’s file manager. You’ll notice it’s pretty barebones, with only basic features, so it probably won’t replace your existing third-party file manager. But it’s something, and could get better with future Marshmallow upgrades.
