Some years back I was a mixplorer user, then switched to solid explorer for some time and now I’m using Material Files.

I was thinking of going back to either Solid / Mixplorer or trying something new.

    Solid Explorer.

    However, when I’m VPNing into my unraid server, for some reason Solid Explorer doesn’t work? I downloaded Xiaomi File Manager, and while it’s EXTREMELY slow, it does work via the VPN.

    Does anyone know why?

    Edit: tried Material Files to replace the Xiaomi app, and it also lets me connect to my shares when I VPN into my unraid server. I wonder why Solid Explorer refuses to connect…

      What protocol?

      Solid Explorer works fine for me through a VPN with SFTP. I’ve not tried SMB though.

      Speed isn’t amazing (was only getting 600kB/s testing just now), but it does work.

        SMB.

        But when I use Xiaomi File Manager or Material Files, and the SMB protocol, it works.

        Xiaomi File Manager is REALLY slow, but Material Files is actually pretty fast over VPN and mobile data.

        Still scratching my head as to what makes Solid Explorer different…

          I use Solid Explorer with my local SMB share and it works great. I primarily use it keep files in sync between my Android phone and tablet.

          It doesn’t seem to work for NFS though.
