API Not Working With Solid Explorer or Root Explorer.
The API isn't working on Solid Explore or Root Explorer. I login successfully but the apps won't pick up the account. Was working until this morning. Android 16.
Solid Explorer and Wardencam stopped working for me yesterday, for the third time (the second time was on January 15, 2026).
This is infuriating. Maybe it's time to move somewhere else. Any suggestions for 2-3 TB cloud services?
And yes, I read that the developers need to update. You could have kept these apps working and given them more time to update?

I understand how frustrating this is.
The issues encountered with these apps may be related to a new certificate rollout.
In this case, these apps stopped working because the third-party developer didn't update their integration/SDK to remain compatible with the platform changes. We provided advance notice for changes like this to give developers time to prepare and make any necessary updates. Specifically, updates for this change were communicated on:
- June 26th, 2024 via email
- June 26th, 2024 via blog post
- February 19th, 2025 via email
- October 1st, 2025 via email
Because we don't own or control that third-party app's code or release process, we aren't able to keep it working on their behalf once an update is required.
Thank you. Thing is, was there a cut off date? These apps were working until January 20th, 2026.

The rollout is being done in phases, with brief validation periods before the change is finalized, which is why this "issue" may appear resolved temporarily or why it may have appeared to be working before January 20th.
