I need a reasonable file manager on my phone, because the stock one is like frustrating me to no end (I can't make folders where I want for one)..
Any recommendations on android?
@f0x oh yeah I forgot about that one
@maloki i don't know what you need it to do exactly but I use Simple File Manager, off fdroid
@unfitmisfit @maloki I use that one too, seems to work well enough
@maloki I use "cx file explorer", it does everything I need and then some https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cxinventor.file.explorer
@maloki I use Cx File Explorer and it's done everything I've wanted.
https://cxfileexplorer.com/ and it's on the play store too.
@maloki
ghost commander is a norton/midnight commander style
@maloki i use solid explorer for my needs. i cant remember if its paid/free/freemium offhand.
the big thing for me is that it works with windows file shares/samba/nfs and some others as well as having an otg plugin
@kemonine I dunno what the last thing means. 😅
@maloki my apologies
otg is on the go ; basically the 'can use usb devices with a phone' shorthand (i hope i didnt 'splain hard here, more detail available if desired)
i can shove a usb-c disk into the phone and itll pop up in solid explorer as another storage device i can use freely for file transfers as long as their otg plugin is installed
@kemonine good enough detail!
@kemonine why they can it otg and not plug and play. 😅
@maloki [insert joke about computes being neither plug nor play here]
😉
@kemonine true. 😅
@maloki er ; it should be 'as long as /the/ otg plugin is installed'
their implies >1 otg plugin which should be false ; as long as the phone can see its a usb disk the std solid explorer otg plugin /should/ work (filesystem stupid not withstanding)
@maloki I really like all the "Simple" (Simple Calendar, Simple File Manager, etc) apps available on freedroid. Not the most feature packed stuff, but they all do the job.
@dorian thank you
@maloki I've been using this one, it's in fdroid or Google play:
@maloki FX file manager works alright
