I use Solid Explorer a lot. I use it mostly to transfer files from my phone to my Samba network storage. However, in the past couple days, this has randomly stopped working for Solid Explorer and I can no longer connect to my NAS as a guest. I've confirmed that it's a Solid Explorer problem by connecting with Material Files and so I tried to contact NeatBytes and got no response, so now I'm looking for an alternative.

You might be thinking, if Material Files works, why not use that? It's single pane. I really need a dual pane user experience.

The other thing I would really like is a Material You looking/feeling user experience. One of my issues with Solid Explorer is that it feels a bit dated.

With all that in mind, can you recommend something please?

Total Commander is really good for remote connections. It does dual pane.

Or alternatively, if you prefer FOSS, Ghost Commander.

Appears to be more modern than Total Commander, but no Material You support.

The Windows version of TC is also quite old fashioned, but it works.

The screenshots are targeting Ice Cream Sandwich

Sure but it works well and is stable.
