What free file browser do you use that you're sure isn't snooping on your files?

    Is that a terminal emulator on android? That sounds... really obnoxious to use with my 2 thumbs lol.

      This is a terminal emulator and debian distribution in an android app. Works wonders, basically a PC in your phone.

      Yes! It's a terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android. You can do pretty much anything with it. Typing on a phone is hard but you get used to it. Programming while lying in bed is just too comfortable. I've written way too much code with vim inside Termux. I created an entire programming language inside Termux. The first programming language to be born inside a smartphone, perhaps? Only thing I haven't managed is Android app development. Yet.

Total commander is pretty good with no funny business. It's "ugly" though. https://www.ghisler.com/ https://www.ghisler.com/ It even has plugins for ftp and I believe sftp.

  I didn't realize there was an android version, I'll have to take a look. I am incapable of using a windows computer without Total Commander, I've used it more than any other program, full stop. Probably since I was 4 or 5 years old. Life without it is unimaginable.

    I didn't know there was a Windows version. The Android version works great. I don't know of a better alternative.

      fun fact: Total Commander is inspired by Midnight Commander, which in its turn is a clone of Norton Commander, which was first released in 1986.

        And don't forget the sibling lineage of NC, the Volkov Commander, 100% assembly for unparalleled performance.
