Hi, I’ve been using material files on Android, and I especially like how you can share anything to it, and it will give you the option to save it as a file.

However, recently, it has lost its ability to save files. I think it doesn’t have permission anymore, with no ability to reenable. So, I was wondering if anybody else can recommend a good file browser and file manager for Android?

Edit: thanks for the recs! I’m trying them out.

    I don’t have an answer to your question, but one thing I love about Material Files that I haven’t seen in other FOSS apps, is that it has lots of options to access network locations, including SMB, (S)FTP, and WebDAV, and other apps’ files via Storage Access Framework.

    On my tablet (which I currently use as both a dev machine and a file server) I can access Termux and TIC-80 home directories, and from other devices I can access the WebDAV server (Copyparty under Termux).

    I just wish it had better UI when using a keyboard (tablet) or remote control (TV).
