The application is very good! I've been using it for about three months and the only thing I have to say is that I've had several crashes when transferring files via FTP. Often the FTP server / the application itself crashes and I have to enable the server again and try to transfer the file, this is annoying and I don't know what it could be exactly. Thanks for your patience, this application is essential for me, a great file manager.

The Material Files app is excellent. It has most of the File Manager features I will ever need and unlike some other FMs can see the media cards in my camera when connected via a USB-C OTG cable. This allows me to use my phone as a backup device while shooting in the field. The one feature that I would like to see added would be multi-select. Maybe a 'select all' feature would be a good stop-gap addition in the nearer term. Great app. But either Android updates or app updates have broken it.

Great app that works well. It would be nice to have a small (1x1) widget to switch the FTP server on and off. Ideally with different colours for the status. Reply: Thanks for your suggestion. I do use that, but it means I have to remember to swipe down (at least once) just to check its status. The advantage of a small widget is that the status can be seen quickly without any actions. It would also mean only one press would be required to switch the server on or off.
