I use material files but i don’t know if it is still maintained? Last update is from may 2022. Any newer recommendations?

Edit. I forgot to add that I prefer open source apps

Another vote for Solid Explorer. Two panes side by side and can connect to a lot of remotes, even Samba so you can use Windows shared folders.

Moved to Solid Explorer after ES got enshittified. No complaints here but will move to something FOSS when it gets 90% as good.

Same, the ability to access Google drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox files alongside your local files is awesome.

As well as Nextcloud! It’s my pick as well.

I’ve still been using it, since it has continued to be reliable. I have Mixplorer too. Should probably try using that too to see how it compares.

Pro tip: You can host FTP servers from your phone. You can access that from your computer’s file manager and just drag and drop things on and off of your phone.

Hehe, nice. Luckily I have my own NAS with WebDAV which I use to transfer/access files anywhere. And MiXplorer supports WebDAV, so that’s a win. :)

Edit: This might be an option too to share files with this app.

Funny, I never get files from my computer to my phone, its the other way around.

If I want some folders and files to be on both I use Syncthing for that.
