It will not tap into system files but instead give you one-stop access to all your media and document folders.

In tinkering with Folders Pro for a short time on a Lumia 830 I was able to have access to and manage folders for Videos, Pictures, Music, Downloads, Ringtones and folders on my microSD Card. Your main folders page lists only those folders you want shown, including sub-folders, to avoid cluttering the screen up with folders you rarely access.
Folders Pro, Advanced File Manager has a clean appearance and the user interface is easy to navigate around. While the app lacks access to the full Windows Phone file system, it comes across as a great means of accessing all your media and document files from one place.
The file management app is currently pulling down a 5 Star rating in the Windows Phone Store and normally runs $1.49. However, through the myAppFree campaign, for the next twenty-four hours you can pick up Folders Pro, Advanced File Manager for free. If you do take advantage of this offer, remember to rate Folders Pro in the Windows Phone Store. Rating an app or game is the easiest way to give the developer feedback on their Windows Phone titles.
Please Note: The myAppFree deal is already reflected in Windows Phone Store listing for Folders Pro. It may take a little while longer before the deal is reflected in the myAppFree Windows Phone app.
