Try the ones on fdroid like Amaze or Material Files, IIRC they support SMB.
Material Files did what I wanted, but I ended up only uploading with 10KByte/s via this app (5ghz WiFi or 2.4Ghz, same speed). No clue what went wrong, but that's quite unusable for me.
Did you try Amaze?
I second material files
Cx File Explorer does the job for me. Does local, cloud and network - SMB included.
Just set up the location and go.
This one worked like a charm, thanks!
Awesome.
It also works very well from the share context in Android, once remotes are set up. Handy for when I just want to dump some photos on my desktop.
totalcommander has it as a built in feature. it was about 2x faster than the cifs documents provider app on f-droid for some reason.
I second material files. Great for network file access and no ads.
Doesn't even connect to my smb, for reasons beyond my knowledge.
+1 for this. I've been using it for years. Handles downloads and uploads nicely.
I've used one called CIFS Documents Provider in the past, worked very well.
It adds SMB/CIFS as a storage provider like Google Drive or Nextcloud to the Android built in file manager.
Available only from Play Store, AFAIK. And I think I was still on Android 14 last I used it.
Tried it, but can't seem to upload files to it via the Google Files app.
xplore
not foss but works great
Mix explorer
