I use Cx File explorer. Pretty sure I never paid for it. Let's me reach Windows shares as well as browse files on my phone
The full version was offered for free at one point. That's how I got it. I've never been sure how safe it is from a privacy standpoint.
It does a lot, but can't create uncompressed zip files. I discovered this recently when I was changing phones and wanted to grab a bunch of uncompressable stuff from my secure folder. Solid Explorer can but isn't free.
I have Material Files installed (recently) but haven't played with it yet.
That makes sense. I also have no idea from a privacy stand point, I saw the sub after commenting
