File Manager for LG Smart TV — Browser & Web File Manager

LG Smart TVs — including LG OLED (C-series, G-series, B-series), QNED MiniLED, and NanoCell 4K lines — are renowned for their self-lit OLED pixels, deep black levels, and immersive webOS interface. Because LG televisions run LG webOS rather than Android, standard Android APK file managers cannot be installed directly from the app store.

AnExplorer Web File Manager brings full-featured file management and wireless media streaming to your LG Smart TV through the built-in webOS Web Browser. Without installing third-party apps on the television, you can browse phone files, stream 4K movies, play high-fidelity audio through your soundbar, and access multi-cloud storage and home NAS shares directly on your LG OLED screen.
