Questions

Which hash should I use?

SHA-256 for most uses. SHA-1 is only for checking older checksums; it is not safe for security.

Is MD5 supported?

Not yet. MD5 is broken for security, but still used for some checksums, so it may be added.

Can I hash large files?

Yes, up to 1 GB. The file is read into memory on your device.
