Suggestion for a nice File manager?
As title, I just need a simple file manager, open source and with minimal permissions.. anything good you think I should try?
Edit: can someone ELI5 to me why almost every file manager needs full network access and to see wifi connections? There must a reason..

Material files is best in my experience.

Just "manage all files" because it is... a file Manager

Android permissions are confusing though, I already asked GrapheneOS devs to add more granular permissions but it turned out its not needed.
Internet permissions suck, but needed for remote SMB shares etc.
All the file access is of course because it is a filemanager, same as with "query all apps"
Foreground app and wakelock are to prevent Android killing stuff like Archive actions I guess, so it is necessary.
