Over all, it's a decent file browser. However, having come from a different brand's file manager, it's missing a top feature for me: the ability to connect to an SMB share to access my local file server. I previously relied on this heavily to be able to access my server without having to download another app or switch to another device, and this has become a sore spot for me in this app.

This app really helps when it comes to keeping,organizing and cleaning the files in my phone. Videos, pics, apps, downloads and everything else while even offering recommendations for things that are just taking up space or multiples that add up over time and get shuffled in that easily are overlooked. Recommend if organization and space are important to u.

Scanner now crashes when loading any image from Camera or Files. May be related to auto-cleanup of images. Before crashing issue began a week ago, the scanner behavior changed to automatically apply contrast and brightness filters despite no input from the user, and despite the Files settings offering no option to revert such behavior. This process took 20 seconds per image when it worked (very slow), now it just crashes the scanner and returns the user to the Files app.
