Looks nice! I use the Fossify File Manager; they seem very similar.

Fossify looks similar, but it misses some crucial features I use frequently. I downloaded it now to check it, Material can do these things, while Fossify can't:

  • Open multiple windows for commander like usage
  • Connect to remote shares with SFTP, FTP, SMB or Webdav
  • Connect to app storage with Storage Access Framework
