Windows Phone 8.0 - Access phone's local storage

Is there any API that enables me to access the phone's local storage files and folders ? I want to implement a file picker that displays the folders and files hierarchy just like they are in folder explorer:

windows phone local storage

Microsoft has released a free app called "Files" that does exactly what I want and more. Is it a special case or its possible for any developer?

Note: Im programming a WP8.0 app and not WP8.1. File Picker sample won't work for me! :)

Solution

  • There is no API in WP8 to list all the files in storage. In WP8 you can only access Audio and image files.
