Please Recommend An Alternative To Solid Explorer

Ask Android@lemdro.idEnglish · 5 months ago

I use Solid Explorer a lot. I use it mostly to transfer files from my phone to my Samba network storage. However, in the past couple days, this has randomly stopped working for Solid Explorer and I can no longer connect to my NAS as a guest. I’ve confirmed that it’s a Solid Explorer problem by connecting with Material Files and so I tried to contact NeatBytes and got no response, so now I’m looking for an alternative.

You might be thinking, if Material Files works, why not use that? It’s single pane. I really need a dual pane user experience.

The other thing I would really like is a Material You looking/feeling user experience. One of my issues with Solid Explorer is that it feels a bit dated.

With all that in mind, can you recommend something please?

AndSMB had been good to me for connecting to my nas and other shares. It’s not the most polished but it is exceptionally reliable.
