I've always used X-plore but am now searching for a FOSS alternative.

IIRC there's a special setting to give it full access that you actually have to go into settings to add (you can't just add it from the prompts).

    I don't have a rooted phone. It does not work.

    Huh, no idea why it's not working. It's definitely not the fact that your phone isn't rooted, since mine isn't either. I'm running GrapheneOS on Android 17, so it might just be something in my version of Android.
