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?

    Closed source alternative: FX explorer with horizontal split panels and nice UI

    Foss alternative: ghost commander with vertical split panels but dated UI

        If everything works, doesn’t need updates every week

        Especially on the play store where Google approving updates for file managers is a lottery
