Thats bad,right?
Yes.
Idk, but the app itself is bad, that I can confirm. No directory structures, wth google? Especially because the old, beautiful design still exists, it's sometimes used as a file chooser, it's just not available as a standalone app. Well, FX is better anyway.
There is a directory structure, you have to scroll down to "Storage devices"
Oh, I never noticed that, thank you!
But I must say, featuring some buttons as seemingly shortcuts to the real directories but only providing a real structure further down without any shortcuts still seems like a weird design choice. In the end it's the same workflow as e.g. FX, except requiring the user to scroll to the bottom every time, which is an action that takes a lot more time than a simple click.
I use MiX btw
When you say "identifying" you are saying "spying" important documents.
They doing this for your own gpod, no doubt
I have never felt the need to use this app. MiXplorer has been serving me pretty well.
How's that one at Samba shares? I use Ghost Commander for that, but Ghost Commander's 2 pane ui is weird.
That app is bloat.
Would be nice if Files would support SMB natively at some point.
