Some years back I was a mixplorer user, then switched to solid explorer for some time and now I'm using Material Files.

I was thinking of going back to either Solid / Mixplorer or trying something new.

None of them.

I can't see the hidden parts of the filesystem reserved for program data. So I can't backup program data with Syncthing.

I use Google Files. Tried several F-Droid equivalents still disappointed.

Ghost Commander. It's not perfect but it's great for grabbing stuff from my Samba shares. And after so many file explorers got enshittified, I value open-source.

I've be n using Astro for ages. I tried a few and found them bloated and missing something. Astro has some extra bits I don't use but I never switched them on so it's not an issue. You can hide anything you don't use on the opening screen from the options too.

File manager plus. It just works for me and I have been using it for years.

cx file explorer

File Manger +. I'm not sure its foss and is on Google play but I've been using it for 5 years and it's super simple and powerful. Manages remote connections very well and was simple enough to walk my friend through configuring a connection to a SMB server. I really can't imagine a reason to switch.
