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 still have the option to save stuff as a file with material files, so not sure what’s wrong.

      What happens when you hit save? I get get that far but afterwards I get permission denied.

      Edit: seems like it is only/mainly for certain images. I’m trying to find an example.

        It saves the file and it works. I think there might be a permissions issue with some images (are the images part of a particular album/folder? Are they all from a certain app? etc.)

        Double check the permissions of Material Files, maybe you have it set to something like “only allow images I select”
