Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Material Files is an Android file manager with FTP, SFTP, SMB and WebDAV server access alongside local folders and archives.

Material Files brings Android storage and FTP, SFTP, SMB and WebDAV locations into one file manager. Browse with breadcrumbs, view or extract archives, and create common compressed files alongside ordinary file management. It exposes Linux permissions, symbolic links and SELinux context where available. Network access needs a reachable server and its permissions, with login when that server requires it. Root access is a separate optional capability. The GPLv3-or-later app targets Android 5 and newer and relies on Android DocumentsUI for tasks such as granting external SD-card access; it is not a replacement for that system component.

Strengths

Several network file protocols
Local file and archive handling together

Watch out for
