Hey all, I’ve got a few apps I rely on daily, such as Total Commander, CX File Explorer and Material Files. Regarding my current needs, none suffice 🙁

The closest I guess would be Material Files, but it will only show a grid of two columns or just a list. I’d like to have the kind of flexibility of a typical desktop file browser like Explorer. Or on iOS FileBrowser by Stratospherix. That app is amazing but they don’t make it for Android.

I’ve tried so many. On older devices I can use Asus File Explorer which comes stock on their phones, but I only have a version that’s a little older, and it won’t do SMB on my Androis 13 device. It works on older ones.

I’ve also tried out Astro and Amaze, they both have good and bad aspects but neither provides what I want.

Anyway, verbose post I know, but if you have any recommendations I would really appreciate it.

    If you don’t mind a paid app check out MiXplorer. I haven’t actually used any of the network sharing options, but they’re all there and it has various file views. It’s even better if your device is rooted.

    I’ve actually only used it on a rooted device so your results may vary, but for me it does basically everything my desktop file manager can and is pretty customizable.

    Also, if you’re rooted there are modules available to, uh, test it fully with addons!
