With our file manager you can manage your files from Android 11. It is a classic file manager. You also have the option of to connetct to remote/local SMB server. An SMB client is integrated which you can use as a NAS file manager.

Features:
- Access and management of external SD cards
- Delete, copy, paste or view files.
- Network access via SMB client is supported. Copy your data e.g. to a Synology Diskstation or Qnap NAS !! You can also download data. You can also connect to Windows Shares or Mach shares via SMB. The SMB protocols SMB 1.0, SMB 2.0 and SMB 3.01 are supported.

You get a trial version for 3 days and then you can decide whether you want to purchase a cheap premium version. Developers also have their costs when developing apps. In addition, apps continue to be developed for years with free updates. All this also causes costs.

The connection via SMB requires somewhat "experienced" users. If you don't use this feature, you can simply use Filedude as a normal local file manager
