Do you have some pictures of the UI (which is arguably the worst thing about most OS file managers for android)? From the spec-sheet this looks great!

I've been using Amaze (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.amaze.filemanager/) and the UI seems to be a good follower of Material Design's guidelines, which I quite like.

You can find the UI in the GIFs that illustrate some uses cases in the Demos repo: https://github.com/pgp/XFilesDemos

I want to emphasize that I'm not an Android UI expert, so the solutions implemented for some UI interactions may seem a little tricky.

Can't view those pictures with my phone, github says they're too big.

Spoof desktop and it works fine. There's an option in the context menu in Firefox. Not sure about Chrome or Safari though.

Thanks, didn't occur to me that they meant view size and not file size.

File size probably, limit for mobile view is different from desktop's

Thanks a lot. But sadly this looks a lot like all the other filemanagers which are opensource. Lots of click here, click there that termux is probably just as useful. Probably some one with an interest in UI comes up here (don't know much about Android-UI...)

Disclaimer: personally (no degoogled-Android) I use a file manager by Asus, which does SMB and has a overall nice UX
