This is gold, thanks, I actually found some nice alternatives, I got tired of Google Files for example.

A lot of those apps are years out of date, though.

Sounds like people should help out by opening tickets and pull requests as it’s an active Git repo :)

Even megathreads eventually have some outdated info and dead links.

That’s the federated version from lemdro.id (with no posts for 12 days 😞 ) but going to the instance directly returns an error. Idk
