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?
Sounds like Root Explorer would be suitable.
Material Files is the best, IMO.
I prefer Solid Explorer but sadly it’s not FOSS. 2 things are missing:
- It doesn’t have multiple page support. Solid has 2 pages and I use one for my phone storage and one for my server
- You can’t change the way the folders are displayed, a 2 grid view is kinda ugly for me and I prefer a smaller view
Fossify Filemanager, simple and open source. https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.filemanager/
Great but Doesn’t support what I need
What are your requirements?
Compressed files management (7zip mostly) and ways to access obb and data folder in Android
It’s no massively strong recommendation of mine, but File Explorer has been decent. Talk about a name, though, haha.
Gonna give it a try thanks
Thanks but like I said material files doesn’t support what I need but it’s a very nicely designed app
Mixplorer is free on XDA, and is by far the best, most complete and most modular there is.
You can purchase the silver version on Google play to support the dev.
It handles browsing networked resources incredibly smoothly
Can you kindly share links for it

Apk drive is in the 2nd or 3rd comment. It’s been around since 2011!
Thank you
I’ve been using Ghost Commander for years and it does everything I need, although I don’t have your specific requirements so you need to check that yourself.
