Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?

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.
