This fork adds network file sharing via SMB (more protocols eg. SFTP/FTPS may be added in the future), among many other new features and improvements! Don't expect this to get merged into the base branch any time soon. The official maintainers take a stance against the app offering any networking functionality whatsoever.
- Favorites have their own tab instead of a tiny menu bar option
- Favorites can be removed easily from the tab instead of via
Menu -> Settings -> Manage Favorites - Improved sharing support to more apps and MIME type detection (eg. HEIC images don't share correctly on main branch)
- Reverse sharing supported too! Share TO File Explore as a destination, allowing you to import images and files in from other apps/instant messengers instantly and choose where to save them.
- Improved thumbnail performance, also fully supports thumbnails on remote shares! (A very rare feature in file manager apps I've tried)
- Vastly improved search performance, searches show results asynchronously and can be cancelled at any time w/ back button
- Bulk jobs (copy/move/delete/etc) run in background and show a progress notification that allows cancelling them at any time
- Runs faster, many methods are more optimized
- Cleaner edge-to-edge UI w/ full display notch/cutout support
- Better touch keyboard handling (doesn't move tab bar up and block UI)
- Physical keyboard shortcuts (tested with Samsung DeX/Desktop Mode!)
- Stays in selection mode when rotating screen
- And more!
- Fix file rename on remote
- Fix "Open with" in ReadTextActivity (MainActivity "Open with" works fine)
- Fix clicking "cancel" in overwrite dialog breaking the transfer (use the "skip" option for now)
- Add recycle bin if that gets pushed to main
- Add support for more protocols
- Various bugfixes
