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.

    Not foss, but MiXplorer is the best file manager I have ever used, it’s easy to use and packed with features. You can get if for free from Xdaforums

      I used ES File Explorer for 10 years before finally giving up on an old, pre-enshittified version, and switching to Mix.

      I don’t love it, but its the best out there today.

      Edit: Some of the way it works is really powerful, like the bookmark system, tab management, copy process, etc. I just can’t get it to look the way I want, with slightly larger everything, and higher contrast text/icons (I admit I’m too lazy to make it happen, pretty sure I could just create a skin).
