Best file menager on android?

I use material files but i don't know if it is still maintained? Last update is from may 2022. Any newer recommendations?

Edit. I forgot to add that I prefer open source apps

Mixplorer has absolutely never failed me over the past decade or so.
- I downloaded MiXplorer today. It's really great. Thanks for the tip!
  
  Pro tip: You can host FTP servers from your phone. You can access that from your computer's file manager and just drag and drop things on and off of your phone.
  
  Hehe, nice. Luckily I have my own NAS with WebDAV which I use to transfer/access files anywhere. And MiXplorer supports WebDAV, so that's a win. :)
  
  Edit: This might be an option too to share files with this app.
  
  Ah, then you're farther along than I am, but I'm glad I could introduce you to an app with powerful features you can make use of. I hope to take the plunge into the world of self-hosting before too much longer.
  
  Funny, I never get files from my computer to my phone, its the other way around.
  
  If I want some folders and files to be on both I use Syncthing for that.
  
  To each their own, it's pretty infrequent that I think about my phone's file system at all.
- Ya everytime I reset my phone or get a new one I head to xda to download Mixplorer.
