The larger issue is that the app stores are full of predators who are simply interested in stealing data and selling us ads. Actually finding useful apps is tough. For a long time I used ES File Explorer on android, a popular file browser, until I realized that the whole app is just lbuilt to scrape my data and show me ads. I now favor Ghost Commander, which only requires permissions to access my files and is GPLd; the latter seems to me the best indicator of not trying to fuck me over.

Thankfully there are several other file explorers with similar functionality although I've not settled on one yet. I've mainly been trying out a few when I happen to need a file explorer.
