Hi guys. Just wanted to know what’s your best app or apps for files management in Android. I’m have been using zarchiver for years which is not FOSS but has some features which are important to me like compressed files management and access to obb and data folders in Android. Is there a better solution out there?

    I haven’t found a perfect Foss file explorer, so I use 2, material files and ghost commander.

    Material files

    Pros:

    It shows the disks sizes

    Can deal with compressed files (zip, 7zip, tar)

    Multiple windows support

    Cons:

    You need to reset the app to update disk size and to show new ones

    Images are cropped

    Multiple windows are worst and not as intuitive as multiple panels

    It have issues when trying to open files with other apps, particularly librera.

    Ghost Commander

    Pros:

    Many personalization options

    Dual panel

    Light weight and fast

    Cons:

    Can’t deal with 7zip files

    It’s only view mode is list view

    Don’t show disks available space

    One Foss app many people don’t know about that is worth mentioning is

    Index which try to bring a linux desktop file manager to android.
