FINALLY!! In my quest to find a file explorer that was as good looking as the old solid explorer (not the new solid explorer) it was quite hard to find. Then I found mi explorer but only a year or so it was starting to get ads, full screen ads as well!! Didn't trust it to do what I need it to get done. Anyways, this gem. Material File explorer. Well done dev, well done. This is clean and this is how you follow material guidelines. So far the functions work and it just looks appealing to use.

The application is very good! I've been using it for about three months and the only thing I have to say is that I've had several crashes when transferring files via FTP. Often the FTP server / the application itself crashes and I have to enable the server again and try to transfer the file, this is annoying and I don't know what it could be exactly. Thanks for your patience, this application is essential for me, a great file manager.
