## Description

This project is a cross-platform mobile filesystem API that provides a native bridge for direct read and write access to the device filesystem. It functions as a storage management library and a native asset access layer, allowing applications to interact with local files and system-level document directories.

The library includes a mobile file transfer client for downloading and uploading files between remote servers and local device storage. These transfers support progress tracking and multipart data transmission.

Broad capabilities cover local file and directory management, including the ability to copy, move, and modify files. It provides utilities for retrieving absolute system paths, inspecting file metadata, calculating checksums for data integrity, and querying available device storage capacity. The project also enables the retrieval and copying of files from internal application resource folders.
