      I would counter that I still feel Solid Explorer is the best, but I’m aware that’s just my opinion.

        Solid is for people who want what es used to be. Not sledging it, but it’s unshittified ES.

      Joining in on the love for material files. I’ve been using it a long time. The more I’ve got into FOSS apps I’ve come to realise that they are feature rich, lightweight and ad free. Its the difference between using something designed to be a good product vs something that is designed to squeeze as much out of you as possible

        Fossify looks similar, but it misses some crucial features I use frequently. I downloaded it now to check it, Material can do these things, while Fossify can’t:

        • Open multiple windows for commander like usage
        • Connect to remote shares with SFTP, FTP, SMB or Webdav
        • Connect to app storage with Storage Access Framework
