I’ve always used X-plore but am now searching for a FOSS alternative.
Fossify’s File Manager is what I use daily.
It is very pleasant-looking, but lacks many important features, e.g. SMB/FTP/etc support.
For my phone I’m using Amaze, for my Tablet Ghost Commander becuase of its “Ability to copy and move files between its two panels”.
I use Amaze as well, and it’s pretty great.
Amaze supports app management, running an ftp server, and automatically searching for local smb servers. Nice, might become the one I use daily.
Total Commander : https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm
I use Ghost Commander from f-droid
Discovered it an hour ago. I like how functional and customizable it is, although admittedly somewhat ugly.
Yes, it is fugly.
I’ve been using this for years.
Better than Material Files for SFTP but it reprompts for the SMTP password inconsistently on app switch. Kind of annoying but whatever.
This one is really nice! App management and SMB support are the features I’ve primarily been looking for.
Alas is not in F-Droid
it’s a fork, the original one is on fdroid but recently unmaintained :)
Not FOSS, but MiXplorer is free (PlayStore version is paid, but the version from Google Drive is free and has integrated mechanism to download updates) and probably best option I ever found.
You can connect to various remote storages, including those on local network, which is what I needed. Also has integrated file viewers and editors and can preview files in archives.
NFile looks good, (haven’t tried it yet)
Well then your opinion seems to be somewhat irrelevant
Very feature-rich and the interface looks cool. Thx!
You’re welcome :)
getting downvoted for recommending something I haven’t tried… It’s an app not a dish people lol
I don’t get it either. Saying smth looks good only requires looking at it. If you’d refrained from writing about this app for the lack of experience with it, we wouldn’t get to know it.
Exactly, that’s how I think about… I know tons of apps… i have them all bookmarked… but I can’t try them all when all my needs are met…
sometimes I bookmark something thinking that I might need it in the future… so I don’t get to ever try it…

So relatable 😅

Material Files and Amaze
I like this one but not in development anymore.
Another person here posted its actively maintained fork: https://lemmy.ml/comment/27551987
Not FOSS but been using Solid Explorer for forever, has all the features I need.
