  • It's not open source but it's quite literally the best Android application I've ever seen, by a significant margin. It's from the good old days where apps were small, very well designed, very polished and did not collect data.

    It's FX, a gem ever more lost to time. The site is a bit old and unmaintained so SSL certificates may give you a bit of trouble, but you can just ignore the warnings, it's just an info page.

    FX, despite not receiving updates for years has so many features of such great quality, I've yet to find any alternative with a truly competing interface and feature set.

    Been using it for 10 years and it has been the pinnacle of Android.

    Edit: I know you'll be detracted from trying it since it's not FOSS, but seriously give it a shot.

  • X-plore. Its the only one that lets you open multiple folders at once like you would on a desktop computer. It also is a built in FTP manager and will even replace your need to have separate cloud apps like Google Drive and Dropbox.

  • Solid File Explorer, bought it forever ago, and it hasn't let me down yet.

  • any app from the 'Simple' suite is always worth checking out. (search 'simple files' on f-droid). i personally prefer the stock grapheneos one, but use Simple gallery
