Material Files is a file manager that follows Material Design closely, with a clean layout and attention to small details like breadcrumb navigation, so moving back through folders takes a tap rather than repeated back presses.
Beyond everyday browsing, it handles compressed archives, letting you view, extract and create common formats, and it can reach network storage over FTP, SFTP, SMB and WebDAV. For devices with root access, it can view and manage files that a regular file manager cannot reach, and it understands the Linux side of Android, including symbolic links, permissions and SELinux context.
The interface can be adjusted with custom colours and a night mode, including a true-black option. Version 1.7.5 also adds Shizuku support and changes password-protected ZIP creation to AES-256 encryption.
