File Explorer Integration
Though this tool has its own light weight 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). Like 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 shreds them.
Media Files Preview (Gallery Integration)
The app provides preview of media files to give you better insight about content you want to secure erase. You can use the app with your favorite photo manager, like with Google Photo. Just select one or multiple images/videos and send to the shredder to erase them permanently.
Known Limitations
It shreds the media file (video or image) from the gallery completely, you might see the image thumbnail in your gallery. Don’t worry all the content of the specified media file has gone, just re-scan your media to sync thumbnails with media content.
To erase external sdcard on device having KitKat (Android 4.4) or later version super user rights are required i.e. your device should be rooted.

It's amazing. Feeling very safe now to resale the device. The data recovered when I done factory reset to the device. But once it's been erased with shreddit , couldn't recover it by recovery tools. Even after I tried 3 different tools. Just perfect tool.

This app is excellent. But I Think To Erase SD Card Contents There Is No Need Of Root Access. User can Grant Access Permission To SD Card.

So far so good. I plan on selling my Samsung Tab E soon and since I still use it, I decided to wipe empty space on the internal storage space first then will wipe the whole thing before I sell it. One problem I faced was an error when I tried to wipe the SD card saying "unable to erase one or more files or folders. Root privilege required". What does it mean please? I wont include the SD card when I sell my device anyway, however, would there be any tracing of my data from SD card on the internal storage tho? thank you for this app.
