At home my PCs have CIFS/SMB shared folders, it’s handy and simple to use. However I can’t find an Android app capable of browsing these shares.
There’s Android Samba client and CIFS Document provider on F-droid but both require to know the exact IP and path, you can not just browse the network like on a PC.
Solid Explorer did it I think. I believe there is also a plug-in for Total Commander.
Solid explorer is great. One of the few apps I bought.
Best one for sure but doesn’t support smb.
Yes it does, I use it all the time
Pretty sure there’s a plug in that works with a bit of configuration, but I never needed to use it myself
Don’t know what phone you have, but the built in My Files app on my Galaxy s23 has SMB support. Lists and connects to my Linux samba server and my Windows shares perfectly.
Material Files?
I use this one, pretty solid.
ghost commander is a foss option that works with smb out of the box
I just used CX File Explorer on the playstore for SMB support and it seemed to work great!
Every few years, the landscape of good file explorers on Play Store shuffles up. Currently, CX seems to be the way to go.
I use CIFS Document Provider and the stock files app lets me browse the share without an exact path. Does require IP tho
