Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?
I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.
Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

File Explorer
I haven't checked in a while, but I am still using CX File Explorer because I didn't find a FOSS alternative I like. Maybe it is just because I am used to it, but one thing I really like is the network feature that you can access local shares of a NAS.
Have you tried Material Files (it's on fdroid)? It's genuinely great and it supports different remote protocols, although I haven't personally tried this feature.
Thanks for the tip, I will check it out.
The ftp server feature is great
Honestly I feel like good mobile file managers are just like impossible with the small screen size. I just do everything from termux
I use Ghost Commander as a file manager on Android.
