As title, I just need a simple file manager, open source and with minimal permissions… anything good you think I should try?

Edit: can someone ELI5 to me why almost every file manager needs full network access and to see wifi connections? There must a reason…

          Do you really want an explanation?

          Android permissions are confusing though, I already asked GrapheneOS devs to add more granular permissions but it turned out its not needed.

          Internet permissions suck, but needed for remote SMB shares etc.

          All the file access is of course because it is a filemanager, same as with “query all apps”

          Foreground app and wakelock are to prevent Android killing stuff like Archive actions I guess, so it is necessary.

            Just pointing out that this is not the minimal permissions I asked, and that idiot “uhm” made you sound exactly like an idiot.
